Pings are round trip times in ms but the problem with rs is the game runs 99% on the server and it processes all actions submitted once per tick. Actions submitted will often be processed on the next tick, and there's also the fact that there is a processing overhead plus a random priority delay (between one tick and when the actions are processed) which could even mean the next tick is skipped and some of your actions take effect on the one after. This can mean you might have a ping of 100 and your actions could still take 1.2 seconds to take effect. Hi

This is why I chuckle when people complain about having 300 ping or so.

Also I got in trouble on a different forum for posting twice in a row. Apparently responding to two different people (one of which posted something as I was writing my first post) in two different posts is frowned upon, and I need to use the edit button to put together one super wall of a post as a response!! They take post count farming very seriously.
