Thats why there are plenty of people who lag but don't have such an impact on CTF, if you had my connection it would appear exactly the same as normal on your own client, the server would not see you too well but you would still have to think of a way to get around people, even with my lag it is no easy task.

if you're lag spiking then getting past the D is no problem, but Thor doesn't lag spike he just skips

Thor needs a special word for his type of lag, because it is different than most.
You think he's X far away but really hes X-2 tiles away. So you swing when you think he's next to you but he's actualy already past you. Or you are about to hit him but he hits you first b/c he was closer than you thought.
Then he grabs the flag and scores and you go "oh my!".

Thats a better way to describe it than OMG HE RAN STRAIGHT THROUGH ME.
Anyhoo im going to try and get a wire from my router to my modem and have a look at unblocking the graal port so i can use udp, il still delay but should no longer flash step.

If he's x-2 tiles away then swing later or sooner accordingly (what I was telling people to do against laggers from the get go). A skippy guy isn't all that much of a threat even compared to my mediocre defensive skills (especially on CTF Sumo).

Well obviously you'd swing earlier, but you don't always expect it.
Plus, the majority of people are dumb. Which is why democracy is a flawed process. You should only let the smart people vote...but that's not the subject here.
The ultimate fact is that people just don't know to defend against laggers. They don't have the knowledge or the skills, and thus all they can do is complain.
I myself have a tough time against them, for it is not easy. But I still know that it IS possible to stop them, and thus I have a better chance. It's all in the mentality. If you think you can't stop them, then you are already doomed before you try.

If it's all in the mentality then laggers only have an advantage cause most players don't know better. That's not the lagger's fault and if someone lags to win they're just taking an advantage of standard mentality. I'd say get rid of the mindset to solve the issues instead of bad connections, but meh

How about stop caring about ctf because its a silly graal event based on luck on the offense and if youre good at sparring, youll do good on defense. Case closed, thor wouldnt be good without his lag, he can make up any excuse he wants because he knows its true. Rest = suck or semi lag, or luck on offense.

Why are you telling us to stop caring and pretending to not care yourself only now you are banned and therefore cannot play?
I own just as much in gravity and future where it does not require lag to reach the flag anyway.

I can play tomorrow lolz when i can get my laptop back. But classics gay now.
And i doubt you can rape it. Hell i wasnt bad at future if i had princess jade on my team beating nightmare, dante, bell and zedo. And gravity is annoying, just luck cuz if you **** up the other team will obviously get the point.

2 very convincing wins in gravity in 2 days, one was a flaw. Makes it about a dozen wins for one loss to me, better than sumo overall though it has been a while since i lost at sumo.

It's true, I can confirm that Thor has won both Gravities that were hosted. Both times I said that his team would win before the start, both times his team did.
But... for the 2nd one, with Clel in your team, it's pretty obvious who'll win.
