Has anyone noticed people working together?

Usually it's the Koreans or Chinese.

This is me #1:



After about 20 min I got double teamed by this Korean and NYC guy:



*I'm not gay. I was just playing. :)
I have seen some guilds. I will just play a different server.

LOL. This guy tonight was 6-7 times as big as me, already split twice, so was 4 balls. He then attacked me, turning into 8, but wasn't big enough. We were in a corner, I consumed him to nothing and went from nothing to a #2 instantly.

The most annoying thing is the little dicks who sit in the green blobs when they are small and I cannot use one as a giant rolls by. I don't think they are doing it out of intelligence but just being idiots.

I still play Russia with USA name most of the time. More games than not I only get big enough to troll the giants now.

There is nothing like spiking a giant and feeling their rage, as they end up doing really dumb things just to try and get you back instead of keeping on the task at hand.

I have noticed people go full retard when you're in lots of tiny balls, they are more willing to split to eat you if you're the same mass but four balls, like they don't realize volume matters.

I will be 4-8 balls when small because I can eat more, move faster, and see much, much further.

the same mass but 4 balls? you lose to a player just over 1/4 of your mass, effectively everything. that's why people go nuts when they see a cloud or string of little balls.

My record so far is a combined mass of 17k-ish before being ganged up on by 2nd, 3rd, and 4th at the same time. LOL. It was a good run though, stayed at #1 for a solid 15-20 minutes.

Sites down. :(

I had a blast earlier. I teamed up with this guy named Kevin.

I called myself Kevin's Balls and kept feeding him matter when he needed it. In return he kept feeding me.

I only risk it if I've not grown too big...

Site is down and I was about to play :(

It's really hard to stay #1. You can get to a point where you can just chill and hang back, but if you go on the attack it is so easy to get picked apart by green thingies.

Teams are cool but they need to let you pass through your teammates as you get some griefers who will block you on purpose so you get eaten by others.

Speaking of names...

Is there a list of names that are known to be associated with skins?

The ones I know right away that come to mind are:

- Countries (Canada, Japan, etc.)
- 4Chan, Reddit
- Steam, Origin
- Some planets, such as Mars, Earth (or Moon)
- "Others", such as Nazi, Bait, piccolo or doge (not sure if capital or lower case letters matter)

I'm sure some people can come up with a comprehensive list (or perhaps there's one already that I'm not aware of). And it seems to be a game that is still in development, so perhaps the developer(s) are still adding more skins on a regular basis.

Game is messed up big time tonight. Servers are resetting every couple of minutes. Its a nice mad dash when everyone is micro sized, but gets old real quick.

I wonder which team it's going to put me on....

How many of you just refresh to join a different server when that's the first thing you see?

How do you give your mass to players on your team if you're smaller?

Press w to spit at them.

This is also used on the green spikey balls used to pop people and you need a certain size to do it but it's not very much.

hmm I tried that today and I just split myself into a million pieces instead of feeding the big guy. You have to be right on top of them to do this?

Doing W should just toss one blob at the area.

The green spikes split you if you are big enough to consume them.

To "aim" your w, you have to be move your mouse in the direction you want it to go, for instance if the person is right of you, you have your mouse pointer right of you.

Got it, thanks. I was overlooking the simple mechanics. Kept hitting space bar instead of W.

However, a few times when I was big the little guys would feed me multiple times. And they were fairly small. It seems like when I try to feed someone it's a one shot deal and have to obtain more mass before I can do it again.

To "aim" your w, you have to be move your mouse in the direction you want it to go, for instance if the person is right of you, you have your mouse pointer right of you.

Thanks.

Kinda getting tired of the game what with all the server issues, especially when it kicks you out of your current server and joins a new one, or being unable to select what region.

Not to mention all the cheats that are out for it now like unlimited zoom and such but it was fun when it lasted.
