Wi-Fi or LAN to play?

Post by Tobe »

Hello. It has been long time since I've posted here. Anyways, I'm curious of what the majority of the armagetron community uses; LAN or Wi-Fi? I, myself, have always used Wi-Fi to play.

Wi-Fi for regular play; wired for tourneys.

LAN is the wrong term.

I think you mean Wired (via an ethernet cable) vs. Wireless (via WiFi).

When I lived in Michigan I could play wirelessly in any server. I could also play wirelessly in EU servers when I lived in Texas, but the lag was noticeably worse. Now in California I can only play wirelessly in US servers. And I only plug in on Ladle days so I don't play nearly as much fort as I used to (since the only servers everyone plays in are EU).

Wifi exclusively, I wish I did have wired, though.

Wi-Fi here. I don't think it's the limiting factor, though. Which doesn't help much.

Does it count when I haven't really played tron in a while?

Usually on Wi-Fi, though I stick the ethernet in for any tourneys and whatnot

Oo my bad.

/me hopes the poll was not affected by what I wrote instead of what I meant.

You can edit your first post in order to edit both the title and poll options.

Myself: Wired.

No, current settings don't allow changing the poll :/

As for me, I would play wired if I could, but a cable that long would be a mess. So, wireless it is.

Ah, I assumed it would. Makes sense it wouldn't, though. Well, he can still edit the title and put a little note in his first post.
