    Spores hit with discrete time measurements, not continuously. Therefore it would be like two marines firing at the same target. Last bullet to hit gets the kill.

    When two spore clouds are on the same spot, one of them must be doing zero damage. That's what "no stacking" implies. So when a second cloud is placed at the same point, I assume that the old cloud is basically nullified?

    If that's the case, then whoever placed the most recent cloud would get the kill.

    edit: Unless there's some wacky formula where each cloud does a portion of the damage it would normally inflict, so altogether it adds up to one cloud?

    Hence why relying on scoreboards to tell you the 'best' player is as false as saying the guy that hits a homerun to win a game tied 10-10 is 'best'. Without the 10 runs scored by his team first, there was no victory. Without the 80 points damage done by your teammates first, there was no kill.

    Not that I meant to take your point off-topic. You opened the door with this good question though. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    There's no alien scoreboard in 2.0, correct?

    It matters more than it did in 1.04 though, since he who gets the kill credit wins the 1-3 res bonus.

    It shouldn't really matter. Spores aren't about kills, but area denial. You've got spikes.

    Even then, two lerks shouldn't be gassing the same place anyway. People will eventually learn to not do that.

    If anyone has read the Beta logs they would have heard the line
    "Its a totally different game now, you can't play it like you did in 1.04!"
    thats the problem all of us NON vets and PT and Server Admins and Super friends and Beta Testers and Creators are having, we haven't played 2.0 so we are all thinking with 1.04 brains instead of the new improved 2.0 brains you guys have!

    Only 16 days LEFT!
