All WYPS games with numbers

Thanks Richard for making new games, but I'd like to see old WYPS ascending back, as, like Ray Garrison nicely said :

"I was starting to enjoy the acending wyps original. I might end up liking this variation, too. I wish they were both available to play".

So if other players miss this variant, please say so!

I do!

I didn't know it was gone! I like both the numeric ones, line and not line.

I didn't noticed either. What's the reason behind this choice, Richard? I love the number variants!

I also think there should be a completely independent game category "number wyps", and then you could have variations within that category, such as original ascending, ascending line, or other variants (I think there used to be a prime number variant also, which I never got the chance to try)

Number Wyps, I feel, should have its own forum, its own championship and monthly cup, and be completely separated from all word wyps variants. There is already a separate rating for number wyps, but this does not show up on a players rating page, I think it should.

There are actually many different wyps ratings, namely, English, German, Italian, French, Dutch, Spanish, Solvak, Greek, and Ascending Line.

Ascending Line rating also includes original Ascending numbers variant, which is fine.

Perhaps there should only be two ratings, number wyps and word wyps. Word wyps could have one rating regardless of language. Or perhaps not. But I really believe strongly that number wyps should be a completley independent category in all respects.

What do others feel?

I just started playing WYPS. The original WYPS ascending (numbers) and the new line variant. I preferred the original one. I havn't tried the word variants, but I really liked the original number variant and it would be sad if it was already gone.

Yes I agree too that even if Prime-WYPS was not perfect, it was a nice little game, very enjoyable.

I think many players involved some time trying to become better at these variants, so they should be kept, at least as variants you can invite people to play in UTs...

i wonder why if people loved them so much, why they didn't notice they were gone... ??? if i love a game i usually make a habit of PLAYING it ...

PLASTIQUE - probably because they were playing it, just not signing up for more. At ~160 active games currently, spread across almost every discipline apart from street soccer and chess, I'm not signing up for *anything* more, no matter how much I enjoy it - time is too precious.

you got a point there. I even retired from two championships because I couldn't get my game count below 200 otherwise.

I almost only play championchips - only add a c4 or twixt game sometimes. Play about 100 games now... And Yes, I like to play ascending non-line.

Ascending variant was much better than Ascending line.

Can we have both, please?

I add old variant back as soon as possible.

thnx!

Thx Richard!

Thank you!

I see that original ascending is available again in the "rating games" section, or I think someone could set up a user tournament with this variation. Thanks Richard! I would still love to see number Wyps as a completely independent category for rating display and forum, etc. What do others think?

Created here, starts 1st of December

Yes I'd rather have it in its own category with Prime WYPS and other number variants...

now i agree, though i didn't at first, there should be some sort of 'original rules' version of wyps, and what better than the number variant, which obviously had a following, and which anyone can enjoy regardless of their spoken language? it just makes sense ...

I agree! Wyps ASC is such a good game, that it definitely deserves its own place at littlegolem (it's not a word game!).
