With a bit of delay it continues.
If you find any typos you can keep them.
I am getting to the more juicier parts about wushu now,oh boy.
As most of you know , wushu is ,with the victory system in toribash, not a mod which should be played competitively.By competitively in this case i mean
playing to absofuckinglutley wanting to win a match.Think about a 10 Million tc duel in wushu3.tbm without any form of dojo.

Oh wushu,muhwushu.lol.
As you can already tell i used to love wushu and i still like it.Many other people did and still do ,too.Everyone of you is also aware that wushu
is not as popluar anymore then it was years ago and there are valid reason for this but also some real crazy shit went down.
Oh boy, where to begin.
Lets start with the fact that back then there was something like a "unspoken rule",
"a code of honor" or whatever you want to call it which said that you "never run away" from your opponent and "always come back"
to your opponent or at least try to, even or especially you have a pointlead.
If you did not come back or even ran away you would get flamed almost immediatley from a lot of people.This still happens today but much less so.
The matter of fact is that if you want to win ,that behaviour is totally detrimental for you when you have a pointlead.
And im am talking about winning in a VIDEOGAME, i am not talking about real life were you should show some restrain,not too much tho,lol.
You should use any means neccesarry to win in a fucking videogame ,IF you want to win.Think about a duel for 10 million tc or a match in clanleague,you really want to win there and
you should use the opportunities the game gives you,its not cheating,its just how the game works.
That being said,wushu and other strikingmods are WAY more enjoyable when people comeback to each other AND if you always comeback you
learn the toribash physics a lot more and faster,too.
Thats why i still advise to comeback and thankfully most people in CASUAL matches agree and do that,too.
Ok,with that out of the way ,lets continue.
Especially the prominent players of fl0w and RelaxAll were big advocates of the "fairplay" style in wuhsu and tried to push
it even in competetive play.Which was a mistake.
This behaviour got attetion of serveral people , mostly prominently from TheGod/culapou and from players from TGS , at that time
a clan which was formed/formed itself from a lot of duelers.
If you dont know culapou,he was one of the most notorious trolls of the toribashcommunity,very intelligent(like every good troll(google "forum toribash tori investigation"sometime btw to have a laugh)
but also an ass,lol,
and he saw that the fairplayrules(as i said in competetive play) were utter garbage and started to troll(aka pointing it out and making fun of it in this case)
the people who advocated this playstyle.
TGS,good duelers and very forumactive otherwise,who used memes(maybe the first and i guess only time to heavily use meme "warfare" in tb) also hopped on the train
to diss fl0w and RA and everyone else who advocated the "fairplay"style.Shit got personal for some people,not for me tho, i refused to to put any energy into this lost cause,i even told
my fellow fl0wpeople who tried to push the fairplaystyle that it was a mistake (in competetive play) but they wouldnt listen.
Some notable events in this time:
Culapou, a member of the godteam(best modcreators ever),more like a spokesperson tho,had a mod made:wushuepeen.tbm , a literal dickmod meant to mock the efforts of the fairplay advocates.
This whole ordeal lead to the creation of mushu.tbm and later boxshu_mushu.tbm,one of the most popluar mods nowadays,just to mock wushu.tbm.They even made an org,TeamMushu, to mock TeamWushu, the wushu org at that time.
It was advertised as "real wushu" and created a lot of traction after it was created.Mushu can be a fun mod btw, what i dislike the most about it is the fact that it CAN advocate a real lazy playstyle since a simple tap dms your opponet,
but i also guess thats why its so popluar because you can achieve a lot of mayhem easily , and yes ofcourse i know its also a duel mod and in a duel environment
you must use skills to win in it,but i also have to say that if i recall correctly boxshumushu as a duelmod started as a joke from within the duel community.
TGS won Clanleague this year, and i remember there was a BIG controversy because "someone" tried to disqualify TGS for "bad behaviour" in this clanleague.
If i recall correctly siku had to step in to get TGS unbanned from cl again since they did nothing wrong.THey just behaved "rudley" and played for the win
with no remorse,read as they ran in wushu3.tbm and stuff,which is not a reason by any means to ban them.
A LOT of shit was talked back then, i watched all this in awe and tried to be kept far away from it but as i was already in fl0wback then i remember joining some rooms
and getting flamed immediatly, i totally ignored it tho, best way to handle internetshittalk anyway.Still, it was really a new experience for me.
Think a moment about all the effort put into this,all the time who got sunk to mock a certain mod/certain people in a small online game.
Crazy?U bet.Noteworthy in this community?U bet too.
This whole story ,and i did not even write down everything in this wall of text was , for me , one of the craziest things i expereinced on the internet.
And not only for me , i guess, because TO THIS DAY some people still talk about it.(This happend somewhere in 2013 btw)
After this wushu was never used in another clanleague if i am not mistaken.
And , in my opinion, this was also the time wushu as amod reached its peak and started to dwindle in popluarity,it still was played for a long time tho and still is
and i am still baffeld by the fact that there is no official wushuroom anymore even tho a lot of people asked for it.
What can you learn from all this shit?Dont try to push "softrules" in a competetive videogame i guess and dont take yourself too serious,especially in a videogame,its
just not worth it.
But i still look back at that time with some respect to the people who tried to advocate fairplay in wushu, mainly because the mod is MUCH more enjoyable this way and in my opinion and i know in the opinion from a lot of other people one of the best mods in TB.
Just dont try it in a competetive environment and never be surprised or agitated when someone runs away from you.
