Yes, as some of you may have noticed we've a new game mode called 'Virus Feed' or /feed/ for short
So, what's new?
So yes, for solo players this sounds like a dream server, right? Right! I've tested that theory: http://prntscr.com/9tvdvg
But that doesn't mean those of you that like to team don't have options, of course you do... Here's a method I just thought up, get some mass together so you have one cell bigger than 1 of the 8 that rank 1 has... gather a little more, split that one cell until all but 1 smaller cell merges back, (the one bigger cell should *still* be bigger than 1 of the 8 owned by rank 1). this is where we go into attack, rank 1 will attempt to shoot you, so it is crucial your team-mate keeps spamming the smaller cell you have, that way you'll have 1 big cell and 7 small ones (don't miss teammate!) this then means that whilst rank 1 tries and tries to shoot you, you can gobble him up.
So all in all some minor changes with big impact on the server.
Myths:
Happy shooting!
Tip: Splitting in 8 pieces will also allow them to feed you, with the viruses! Yes, clicking w/q will work as normal if the recipient is in 8 pieces.
So, what's new?
- Maximum splits is: 8
- Rank 1 is ALWAYS OP (Over Powered) weather they're a 'noob' or a great player (let's hope for the former, eh? )
- The biggest change of all, you shoot viruses! (Yes you heard right, viruses) you can shoot little 1 mass viruses at other players, but be careful. They can shoot you too.
- Max mass per cell is 25k, this means a total of 200k (250000*8). If a piece of mass, say 10k merges into a cell with 25k mass, you will loose the 10k...

Myths:
- (you can't feed each other) / (rank 1 can't give away his mass). Of course you can! you just need to target your own little cells so they can eat them, as you start to merge, place a shot (w) in front of a smaller cell, that one will burst leaving 2 smaller ones, repeat until your teammate or greedy git player is happy and full.
- Rank 1 is unbeatable. Rubbish, I just showed you a way, and I beat rank 1 myself... it's doable and rather fun.
- Rank 1 is a great player, Na, they might have just got lucky, you just need to use your noggin to work out the new game mechanics to take 'em down
Happy shooting!
