After its death, a worm dropped a blue-red box not its grave. I picked up this box, but i don't know if it is good for anything ^^ can you help me?

That's a utility crate. It contains a utility that the player held in their inventory before the team died. Utilities include Low gravity, invisibility, etc. and they are very useful indeed :)

If the team had a super weapon when they died and you collect that box, you will get that super weapon. If they had multiple then you will get one of there's chosen at random.

It's called a "donor card".

Hm, information seems to be contradicting.

I always assumed it gave you EVERYTHING your enemy had picked up in crates and didn't use.

Also, IIRC, donor cards will only work with 3 or more players.

People here have a natural affection for completely and utterly ignoring the manual.
"When the last member of a team dies and that team held any utilities or super weapons, a Donor Card is left. Any Worm collecting this card collects the special goodies left behind." -The Manual (page 4) (http://images.trygames.com/manuals/Worms_Armageddon.pdf)

In a more detailed analysis:
1: Each type of weapon/utility the team has a set probability of appearing or not, depending on the weapon. So if a team had a Concrete Donkey, it may or may not not appear in the resulting Donor Card.
2: there's a maximum amount of each type of weapon/utility a donor card can have. In other words, if the team died with 5 Concrete Donkeys, the team that gets the donor card will only get 1.

Also, IIRC, donor cards will only work with 3 or more players.
Bonz... why on earth would you think a Donor Card would appear in a 2-player game? When one team dies THE GAME IS OVER!

As was said above, you could have searched the manual.

Yes, as it was said two times already, you could have read the manual.

I was actually directing that at GreeN, Yakuza, and Franpa, who certainly are not new!

I'm sure Plasma that even you yourself can realize the manual text is very open to interpretation and that it's not exactly clear.

...oh yeah, you're right! It never did say that the donor card was a blue-red box, so there's no way Xriva would've been able to check what it was! Thanks Yakuza, if you hadn't pointed that out I never would've realised you managed to screw up twice... no, three times now in one thread!

Can you go out of your idiot role for a second and be reasonable?

I said the Manual is open to interpretation. If you really think it isn't please tell me how you from:

"When the last member of a team dies and that team held any utilities or super weapons, a Donor Card is left. Any Worm collecting this card collects the special goodies left behind."

to your in depth analysis.

Thinking more about that:
What happens in e.g. a 2vs.2 team game?
Will a donor card drop if one team dies, seeing that allies have a shared inventory?
I can't remember.

Thatstatement of mine is perfectly valid.
And, I even remembered correctly.

Donor cards are created when the last worm of an "ally" dies, unless the game is ending (e.g. all remaining allies died in a single turn). An ally consists of all teams of the same colour.

Donor cards contain the team's remaining super weapons and utilities. It may contain an infinite amount of a weapon or utility - the amount picked up will display as "-1" in 3.6.29.0.

I said the Manual is open to interpretation.

Only in the sense that one interpretation is right and all the others are wrong.

So tell me genius, where in the manual does it specify what special goods are? Doesn't the manual imply you get all the "special goodies" left, as opposed to having a random chance of appearing?

To my original point, countering Plasma's smartassery of asking people to read the manual, "the maual is open to interpretation", ergo, not clear, all you've done is reply with idiotic and irrelevant points. Thanks for wasting everyone's time.

"Utilities or special weapons" is unspecific?

Well it doesn't say. And in that case, had the subject been "Do all special weapons get left behind in a donor card?", I wouldn't have pointed at the manual.


In other words, stop making up rubbish excuses for why you're just dead wrong already!

This you replied, afterwards saying that it was directed at me amongst other people

"Utilities or special weapons" is unspecific?

Like you can see, it might not have been the thread subject, but it was what I was talking about, which you replied to.

So I stand by what I said, the manual isn't totally clear.
