Im apparently purty good at this game.

that feel when you make it to top 5 and aren't even trying

[NJW2000]

Any1 taken on the Columbus challenge yet?

I can't tell if it'll be easier for a larger cell or not...

[TheFlame52]

Columbus challenge?

[NJW2000]

Sorry, older post of mine....

On FFA, go to the 4 corners of the map, preferably in a circle, and return to the original corner. In one life. For extra points, don't bother becoming to large.

I tried bribing my way out of sticky situations, which works if you make it not worth their while to eat you fast enough, or split-leaping, which is risky, or detours, which tend to stack... Having to go in one direction really changes the game, but I've completed it twice or so today, after I thought of it.

Oh, and you name yourself Columbus. Because he might not of been the first guy to go round the world or even reach America and it wasn't his idea or anything, but whatever.

Magellan?

[NJW2000]

I don't know that area of history well, but probably.

[TheFlame52]

Magellan would be better.

[Ozarck]

except that he actually survived his trip around the arena.

[MrRoboto75]

Magellan didn't make his trip around the world.

One of his ships did, all of 18 people, and I guess that was enough to count.

Got to play with KITTYPLAYSGAME today. Don't know if it was the you tube girl or a fan, but she was pretty cool, and we teamed a lot.

Got her into first a time or two, and we were in third and fourth together a lot, but never quite got the top two slots.

We had a third partner for a while, an unnamed cell, but I accidentally ate him. Sorry whoever you were, if I'd known you when you came back in, I'd have dumped mass or you.

EDIT: there was also one named Chanadalar Bong. I fed them out of respect for their humor (it's from Friends), but they then tried to eat me, so it was on.

ohh

My favored names are, depending on my mood and server location:

Borg Cube
<no name>
Eurgaysia
America > Yuu
Americants
Farmer

The idea with a few of these is to draw ire

[Ozarck]

I know what you mean. Just looking at Borg Cube is starting to piss me off.

I got my first helper today, when I was in a (narrow) first place playing as ᚢᚾᚲᚾᛟᚹᚾ. Little South Korea hung out close by, catching little guys and feeding the smaller half to me. In exchange I gave him(?) mass when others set their sights on him. Eventually a guy called 'Chink Killer' split-killed him before I could react, but I found him later and gave him all the mass I could with 'w' as penance. I don't know what happened to him after that, I lagged out less than a minute later.

[NJW2000]

See what you guys have been talking about. Spikeball or no, you can't beat teamers. Why does nobody want to help someone called Prey? I was at 3000 taking on leaderboarders which constantly changed and made alliances, at spot no.2 or 3 most of the time. I tried to eat the top 2 other than me, spikeballing one, then splitting under the other which was half my size to capture most of the mass of the first. The spikeballed one promptly reduced himself to non-leaderboard in his effort to feed himself to his partner, who grew large anough to eat half of me, and I fed myself to everyone out of boredom, at 5th or something.

I know its a darwinian experiement about tactics evolving and all that, but I never think someone will help me if I just give them a bit of mass, when I'm vulnerable. Guess I should try teaming.

[pisskop]

Try feeding little guys by spikeballs.  a lot of them will get the hint that they should spike your pursuers or even block off a prey.
