Here's a scenario that happened last night:

Me and one of my teammates [both on cable]  were slamming this guy [28.8] on
our regular server. He got his head handed to him and left before fraglimit
hit. This is a reguar occurance as this fella is rather annoying and when he
pops on we beat him down. It' stradition.

Later in the evening, he pops back on, and persuant to tradition, we
commence on assaulting him.
End result of this later attack is *we* get whumped. furthermore, he's
nearly untouchable and has unerring accuracy the remainder of the evening. I
had noticed on occasion as he was being persued that he would spin around
and fire w/o error, nailing us as though we were standing still.

Wanting to test the "ratbot" theory, I immedaitely typed ratbot at the
console and got no response. [aside of the irritable reply of our opponent,
who was rather PO'd that we'd accuse him of using a bot]

I'm still kind of suprised that he killed us as easily as he did. He
refrained form using the railgun ans was more apt to use rockets or sshotgun
w/ strength rune. furthermore, I have a *hard* time hitting him with the
railgun, even though I have no problem slamming a slug home on some of the
usually tougher opponents.

Something just don't add up. Any suggestions, recommendations, or theories
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
