hey, who hosts the tigers and icemans servers and where is the server located? a while ago i was at tigers classic i believe, and my ping was 8. i went to icemans and it was like 300. wha?

Reboot your router and try again.

That would be the "low ping" bug present in older server versions. The longer they are on the lower they report the ping to be- inarticulately.

Although, if lag is truly a myth, perhaps all server versions should report a ping lower than it really is so that players don't even think of lag...

good idea.
i will make a server that reports all ping as 650
no, even better, a setting like CLIENT_PING <playerid> <ping>
haha, then you cant blame anyone for lag
