... 2) CYCLE_DELAY is a server parameter, admins can apply a lower value (like Ring server) which affects ALL players in that server. So all can take the advantages (or disadvantages ;) ) of that parameter and all people have the same possibilities. Use double bind is an option of each player. Wait...

I haven't inspected the code, so I have no idea what the level of complexity this would actually entail, though the premise seems simple enough to me. On the Server Selection screen (the Master Server), it would be nice to have more feedback about the available servers. For instance, wall length, cy...

Good job! I like the additional feedback (the meters) that you included.

Is there a list of updates somewhere? I'd be interested in seeing what all the changes were.

I disagree. It is a mistake to believe you are above observing others. Even the best players can gain insight from studying others' skills. Otherwise, it is easy for your skills to become stale and worthless. Please note that I am not saying that I am some guru that you should follow around and take...

Has anyone had any luck with the Master Server recently? I haven't been able to connect for quite a while now.

I think multiple master servers would be the way to go.

Hey man... As for me... I gained my knowledge of the game through constant playing, interrogating and spectating. Just keep your eyes peeled and ask the right people... The only reason I know how to do some of the 'cheats' so to speak, is because someone told me them. They aren't really cheats... m...

Sometimes when I play, I encounter someone who consistently out-grinds everyone on the arena wall. Now, I can see this happening most of the time, but I start to get suspicious when it seems like no one, regardless of how drastic their attemps are, can out-grind him (or her.) While it is possible th...

By sharing my mindset when I play, I am (hopefully) helping others develop an eye for the game. What fun is it to play using the same tricks all the time? I'd rather have to look for new patterns and watch out for my old tricks being used against me. Plus, increasing the skill of your opponents forc...

Going all the way across is a nice way to mix things up a bit. It can increase your kills because you are extending your trail across the multiple mini battles that are taking place, increasing the possibility that some of those battles will end on your trail. However, this can be a dangerous manuev...

A good habit to improve your game is to watch others after you die, especially the leader/one who boxed you. Switch between the remaining players to get a feel for how they deal with different situations. It can be insightful to see the game through another's eyes and you may learn new strategies fo...
