Thank you sir its most definitely not as the crow flies. I have literally seen Australians in online play get cast as lepers. Most of the time they do not deserve it, but I have seen them take a pasting in online gaming. Getting kicked from servers or being forced into restrictive play due to unfair advantage. Often they get labeled as hackers, or get pegged as 56k killers.

Unfortunately its hard to console a person who has been killed by an invisible foe or to calm someone down after they unload a mountain of ordinance on a phantom that is completely unscathed. They are not apt to believe that these type of things are not intentional.

On the humorous side thanks to the lag you see some of the most incredible things in online games. Dead players sliding around killing people, and the always popular death for no apparent reason.
