This is a page to talk about stuff for players. I didn't write anything because I know you all are just dying to write all your secrets in this wiki. ;)

Game Concepts

A discussion of important game concepts.

Rubber

What is rubber, anyway? I HAVE A CONDOM THAT IS RUBBER!!! WANT TO TASTE???

What is the scale of the arena? How fast am I really going? How long are my walls, if not infinite?

Moviepacks

A canonical list of moviepacks and other modifications available.

Grid Games

Sometimes players like to play games that are a bit different than the regular game. Maybe you've seen it and you thought they were camping? Maybe you've tried to play along and had a spot of trouble? Read here to find out all about it.

Game Variations

These are settings that allow for different game play styles or modes.

Page about chat features that come with 0.2.8.0 servers.

Camping

Camping is a skill you need to learn... Camping is being caught in a box where you cant get out from, you twist and turn to stay alive. If the game has infinite walls its just staying alive. But if the walls aren't infinite you can camp so long till you find a way out. Camping is not the same as escaping.

Clan

Sometimes good players team-up and start (gangs) groups. Some examples: Speeders, Xlz, DarkSyndicates, Lords Of Destruction, Stealth, Six Dragons, NiNja, Noob, NoClan, AST, Global Players, Avalanche, ... Most clans have minimum standards of behavior and ability that must be met before a new player can join them. Check with the clan you're specifically interested in before attempting to join a clan.

There is also a growing group of players that dislike clans for various reasons. Ironically, many of these players have been offered to join various clans and turned the offer(s) down.

Lag

Lag is a myth, but heres some information on how you can minimize it.

Frames Per Second

FPS is the number of frames pass your screen in 1 sec. It is possible to play with an FPS around 40 or higher. Anything lower makes your screen go shaky. The more moves you and/or other players make the faster the FPS goes down. ( for more exp. players: i'm talking about digging and multiple bindings.)

Console

Using the console.

Press the tilde key.

USE MYYYYY CONSOLE! PRESS THE VIAGRA BUTTON!
