although i can't answer all these questions at once, ill be little broad in what im gonna say. from a scientific and mathematical way it is based on logic and experiment. i told o couple of ppl about this in irc, people that i know...at least, and it rarely worked for them too. i mean, maybe im just INSANELY lucky or they didn't take my technique seriously or...the directions were just not followed. although this is not 100percent, it usually takes me about 3 tries. sometimes it never goes, especially when the server is flooded with people ( minor lags, packet drop? ) that would def. screw up this technique...maybe. but i live in the USA and the people i play with live in EUROPE. around my time, 8am, 9am...its 6 hours before EU. in my experienments, my chance of success is A LOT lower during peak hours than when im in 9PM-12AM USA time ( which means its 3AM-6AM EU time). this also plays a major factor.
