Frequently Ask Questions (FAQ) By Newbies Q: What our the purposes of "special blocks"? A: The purpose of "special blocks" are for the use of deffense on yourself and mopping the floor with your opponents!!! Also keep in mind, that if you are on a team and your partner is in desperate need of help, you may use these special blocks to help them out! But becareful of which special block you use on your team mate, using the wrong one may cause your team to loose a game and/or a member. Special blocks may be an advantage to yourself or a disadvantage, depending on which letter you recieve and how you use them (hopefully, you will use them wisely). Q: What do these "special blocks" look like? and where do i get them at? A: The "special blocks" are a grayish sphere block with a letter inside (the letters are either A, B, C, N, R, S, G, Q or O). According to how the server has set up the configurations of the game you are in, a grayish sphere will show up in the playing field of your screen. When you make one or more lines on your playing screen with any of the lines containing one or more special blocks, they will be added to your inventory everytime you clear that line with the special block in it. The inventory of special blocks is located on the bottom of the window of your playing screen. Q: What are the definitions of each letter on the "special blocks"? A: Here, I will tell you the meaning of each letter, tell you what they do and also if they are attacking blocks or defense blocks. So here they are: ¢ 'A' Block: The 'A' block is an "add line" block. It will add "junk line" to the screen of the opponent of your choice. ¢ 'B' Block: The 'B' block is a "clear special blocks". If used, it will remove every single "special block" on your opponents screen showed at the time. This making it very hard for them to gain any "special blocks" in there inventory, giving you chance to atack them without worrying about them getting you back. $ 'C' Block: The 'C' block is a "clear line" block. If used on yourself or your team mates, it will clear ONE line furthest from the bottom of the screen. $ 'N' Block: The 'N' block is the "Nuke screen" block. This Special block will remove every single block from the player's screen, giving them a new and "fresh start". ¢ 'R' Block: The 'R' block is a "Random Clear" block. What it does, is it removes ten random blocks from the screen of the player choosen. ¢$ 'S' Block: The 'S' block stands for "switch fields" block. It will switch the field of the person you choose to switch with. $ 'G' Block: The 'G' Block is the "Gravity" block. This block will take all the blocks on the field and "pull" them downward, now eliminating all of the gaps that you may have on your field. ¢ 'Q' Block: The 'Q' Block is the "qauke" block. This block causes the field of the player you choose, to shift from left to right in randomly order, sometimes it may not move at all. ¢ 'O' Block: The 'O' Block is the "block bomb" block. It will clear a 3x3 portion on any player's field anywhere there are 'O' blocks. Any blocks that were in the 3x3 areas will be scattered around there field. Important: Blocks with a " ¢ " infront of the definition are ATTACK blocks, use them on your opponents. Blocks with a " $ " infront of the definition are DEFENSE blocks and should be used on yourself (and team mates, if you have any) because they are GOOD!! You can only use the special block in the red box around it, if you could move the red box, then this game would be incredibly too easy! You also discard blocks that you dont want by using the letter 'D' on your keyboard. Q: How do I use these "special blocks" on myself, my team mates and my opponents? A: To use the special block in your inventory (that is in the red box), just press the number of the player you would like to attack. If the block is a GOOD block, press your number and use it on yourself. Also keep in mind that the descriptions of what the special blocks are, is always to the left of the inventory. Q: I always see people talking on the field at the bottom of the "show field", how do I do that? A: The way you do this is easy, while your in the "show field" and u have something to say, just press "T" and then your message. To send them, you press enter. Also, if u would like to do an action ("yawns", "sneezes", "pouts", etc...) use "/me" and then your action. This works in the "Partyline" and the "show field"!! It's just a fun way to show poeple what your doing!!
