Introduction


I opened this thread to increase the number of funny announcer/ticker messages. I mean the event messages at the top, for example, when a hedgehog dies:

So feel free to suggest announcer messages for Hedgewars (in English)! Because I think the English Hedgewars currently has a lack of these. Sad Smiley

Inclusion


The funniest messages may be included into Hedgewars. Big Grin
No guarantees, however.

Please keep the following guidelines in mind:

  • Message should be funny
  • Use correct spelling and grammar
  • Not copied from copyrighted sources such as a Worms game
  • You agree its might get inclded into Hedgewars

Message types


These are all the currently available message types (with examples). You can copy the text below as a template and paste it into your posts. Easy. Smile

UltiMaxKom: I'm not too happy with most of your messages. Most of them are not really funny or original. Please no obscure abbreviations, obscure references or inside jokes.

But a few ideas were good. I have added a few messages, but I had to rewrite them:

https://hg.hedgewars.org/hedgewars/rev/1171c08fec1c

The TimeBox messages are interesting, but I'm very hesistant to add more TimeBox messages, frankly. I try to keep them VERY simple so that the player always knows what's going on.

Thanks, KoBeWi! Your messages are really funny! Much appreciated contribution.

As usual, with alternations and removals:

https://hg.hedgewars.org/hedgewars/rev/b4ebc6779810

I tend to remove inside jokes or very weird messages.

Don't be sad that it's only in English now. The messages might still be translated
