Also, at no time did he mention multi-wielding. Well, if you're attacking/being attacked by a large group of players with some of the best weapons in the game, this is probably the desirable outcome. You may have been wearing mithril armour, but you're fighting 3-4 crossbow snipers. Mithril armour isn't supposed to be a god-suit, and if your foe outnumbers you 4-1, have the element of surprise, and are all using high end weaponry, we probably don't want to try and fix it so the soloist can defeat them all with ease.

Why not have a little GUI that appears over people's heads if they have a ranged weapon out, or are within 40 studs and have an ranged weapon in their toolbar? It would be somewhat obtrusive when in advanced tribes, spoil the ability to surprise attack someone from a distance (which isn't a bad thing in itself), and would achieve very little. Since ranged weapons aren't all that uncommon, it wouldn't mean you should kill someone on sight who has the GUI, and even if people did do that, that's a bad thing to promote. "Quick, kill that peaceful soloist! He has a ranged weapon!". Most people with longbows don't have malicious intensions, and if I'm a raider, I know exactly which tribes to raid, because I can know if any if my opponents has a ranged weapon. Its just such an obtrusive change to fix an uncommon event.

Say goodbye to merchants, traders, nomad groups and tribes, because serious people who want tribes will shoot people on sight without say in the matter, and people who want tribes, but don't make ranged weapons get easily killed by some harmless nomadic pro walking along. Exactly. Its a bad idea, and the only one that works. Looking at the issue from a logical angle, we can basically say that the hostile multi-wielders we dislike are using their own kill aura, although with a smaller range because they're doing it by hand and not program. Since you have no way to tell if someone is a hostile multi-wielder or not, the only way to know you killed all of them is to kill everyone (or all the ones with ranged weapons should your change be added, but you're still killing people randomly). Since we're taking the assumption that we have bad internet, the three shots are taken simultaneously, so it means whoever is in range first wins the combat. So to protect yourself from someone who is RKing with multi-wield, you have to RK with multi-wield, but you also have to be even more of a pain than anyone else, else they will win.

Just a question, is your internet in your house? And what type is it, No password, WEP, WPA or WPA2? If it's client side lag, you can actually do something about. If it's server side, then all you can do is rage and bash your head through the wall. This is somewhat irrelevant. I'm not saying its your fault, I'm saying its unavoidable without being an even bigger problem.

By the way, I'd actually like to use that new colour font template that NoBanana had made, but I've forgotten the source code. Could someone tell me? Nooblox told you the source for the template, the template is designed to make it easier to write. Text is the actual template syntax.
