fighting the lagKabomatak20:56 07-11-2003

I just played a game against Ichhitier. I lost the game because I got so bored after 10 minutes as the game was so laggy I just quit. Then I later read this in the FAQs:

<b>· What is the time limit for a game to count on XCL?

On XCL a game counts immediatley after it has started provided there is no lag

This measure is in place to stop players bailing for unfair reasons.
However the measure is implemented in such a way that it allows someone to bail if the game is extremely laggy.
If the game is running at above 45 FPS (frames per second) there is 0 bail time. That means that if you leave the game it will count as a loss against you.
An equation has however been factored into the server to give you time to leave in a laggy game.
The laggier the game the slightly longer time you have to quit.
But be aware that if you bail in a non - laggy game it will count against you - and there will be not retrieval of points in this situation from ST<b>

The lesson of this story for those of you unaware of this is that you do not have to put up with lag.

FIGHT THOSE POOR 56K NOOBS

LAG FREE IS NOT A PRIVILEDGE
IT IS OUR RIGHT :D
