hmm, i guess the most popular strategy is to look for powerups, attack the opponent and run away. not too hard to figure out, at least half of all players do it...

about lag, i had a nice experience once. in some server in battle1 i had just 1 heart left, and i was being hit by a bombing of seekers of at least 3 different players, but i didn't die until 2 or 3 minutes afterwards
