Last time I checked, I had I believe around 1700+ hours of online time. Could be slightly off. Also, what Chris said.

You must not PK much then

I have, in the past. Quite a lot, actually. That has nothing to do with you not having a grasp of networking basics, though.

You're not really making an argument here other than saying "you don't know what you're talking about therefore you're wrong"
From what I saw in the past you were a good scripter and did some cool work on era and other servers, but you're not proving anything. If you PK on Era and see the relationship between latency affecting gameplay it's not what you'd initially think. Intuitively, it makes sense that higher MS means that someone is going to eat bullets, warp, etc, but that's not the case. There really is no simple correlation between the two which is what I'm getting at. Hopefully you understand now.

There has to be, as there is really no other way. As Ziro said, shoot() is a clientside function, and so are projectiles. Basically, once you shoot your gun, it takes roughly half your ping's time for the info to reach the server, then roughly half of each one's ping time to reach them. Once the projectile has appeared for another player, it can also hurt them. Depending on how long it took for it to appear, it'll be behind, since it will always appear at the position you shot it from. So if you see someone "eating", it's just because the projectile has not reached them yet on their screen. There's no magic involved here, just lag.

That's generally a pretty strong argument.
