 HOW TO PLAY CLONE BANDITS
===========================

You are a clone. Your teammates are clones. Your enemies are all clones,
also. Therefore, you must kill them. (Your enemies, not your teammates.)

The current number of clones in the game can be seen at the top of the
screen. The total number of clones can never increase, so the only way to 
add more clones to your team is to steal them. For instruction on how to
steal clones, see below. 

Note that when you spawn, your team's total clone number will be reduced! 
Naturally, this means that when your clone reserves are at zero, you 
won't be able to spawn in. That is, until someone gets more clones for 
your team. 

Your goal is to steal clones from an enemy clan. You can do this in one 
of two ways: you can build a clone pump, which will steadily reduce the 
enemy's clone reserves and add them to your own. Or you can simply steal 
a jar of clones from the enemy base, and return it to your own. Whichever 
you choose, it won't be easy - the opposing clan will be trying to take 
the pumps as well, and the bases are heavily defended.
 
-Building Clone Pumps-

To start building a pump, simply go to one of the pump locations, and 
find the unbuilt 'ghost' pump. Walk up to the base of the pump and touch 
it, and it will start to build. The texture will change dramatically to 
indicate that the building process is happening successfully. 

Note that the health bar will fill up over time as the pump builds. The 
pump won't start working until it's completely built. To speed up the 
building process, you can use the secondary fire (right-click) of the 
link gun.

-Stealing Clone Jars- 

There are 'Jar Points' in each base where the clone jars will appear. You 
can only pick up one jar at a time. When you grab a jar, get back to your 
base as fast as you can! You'll notice that if you get on a Moscowboy 
when you have a jar, you'll drop the jar, so you'll have to use a 'Cuda 
or the Lounge Tank. Once you get back to your base, run to one of your 
own jar points to drop their clones into your own reserves.

Stealing clones has a few subtleties that are easy to miss. Firstly, as 
soon as a clone jar is picked up, that number of clones will immediately 
be subtracted from a team's total number of clones - the clones are in 
the jar, after all. 

This leads right into the second subtlety: there may be more clones in 
the game than the clone counters at the top of the screen indicate. Don't 
be surprised to see that the opposing team has 0 clones one minute, then 
5 the next. Those clones aren't being created - just dropped into the 
repository. 

Finally, a clone jar that is dropped will eventually expire - and all the 
clones inside that jar will be lost. The jars disappear pretty quick, so 
let your teammates know if you drop one!

opposition.

When you can't get to the beach, the Lounge Tank brings the beach to you. 
With a reclining patio chair, sun shade and nitroglycerin-packed flamingo
