Phack u.  LPBs teaming up on an HPB.  Damn, I hope he was using a bot,
you deserve it.  Hmm..

Post the IP of that server.  I'll round up some HPBs to teach you one
about teaming up.

Note: This post influence by just playing a game where I was 1st place,
until I lagged out and couldn't even finish the game, though I do know
that an LPB won :(

PS. I have nothing against LPBs.  I hope to be one someday (according to
my cable co, in 2001).  But teaming up in general is lame unless you're
on a team server.
