I hate people who make *all marines* games or *all missiles* game or whatever, and whenever these guest teammates are about to win, the quit the game, and the only thing i can do is quit the game too, which FJHHGIFRSUHIGFHIDS up my Win/Lose ratio.

The real thing actually has pictures so its less boring but ya, this is a pretty good start to a guide I think. I might want to simplify it a bit, my goal is to make a guide that will help new players learn the game as well as helping experienced players improve, I feel like I'm helping the newer players more but would confuse them because of the large amounts of text... Maybe I should list the abilities instead of making a paragraph.

Krin can't do anything else with Colony. Colony was made on a very old outdated version of Flash. The only thing to do is continue playing Colony and wait for the next game.

My failed counter glitching attempts had failed as you can see. The hacker(red) you can see, from the chat, is DaBossSniper123. I advise everyone not to play with this user and avoid all interaction in hopes on driving her away from Colony.
