[Demonic Spoon]

Managed to hang onto the number 1 spot with 20k length for half and hour or so before a moment of inattention allowed a brand new player to gank me. Ah, Slither.

I notice that once I've hit around 10k in the central feeding frenzy then begin moving out to the edges to not die, its very hard to actually get food. The targets tend to be canny in avoiding my loops, this held true all the way to 20k. I had some success, but it gets much harder when you get the number 1 spot and suddenly ten people are chasing you at the same time.

Yeah, 10-20k is the hardest point to get food.
As for people chasing you once you get to the first place: Sprint away (sideways, as sprinting vertically is much more dangerous) so that you escape everyone when you are feeling pressured. Since you are so large the food cost of sprinting is pretty tiny, and its more then worth it to escape all the minnows annoying you. They will eventually gather again (if you spend a long time encircling a large enemy, or multiple large snakes die nearby), but when that happens you can just sprint away again.

Getting food when you are large is not that hard, you just can't expect to get large prey. When I like to do is wait until someone dies, then start encircling the mass of orbs before the fight for them breaks out. You are so big in comparison to the small guys that they can't even see whats happening before it's too late. It will take longer than killing #2, but it's by far safer.
