"Opposing Team Won"! The bigger news is that flag
game winners will be RE-PRIZED to about their previous
bounty, keeping them high bty targets.

So if you had 100 bty, you get reprized to 100 or less (bot doesn't know your exact bty for sure); if you had 1000 bty, you get reprized to 1000 or a bit less. So if you have high bty and have run out of toys, winning the flag game is a good strategy -- one that a number of players/teams have been employing for quite a while. <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

The server is hard coded to reset bty when you win the flag game. This is supposed to be a disadvantage when you win the flag game -- and it is if your start bty is 0 (like it was in the real Jackpot zone) or something very low, and bty hunting is not a factor. But in Chaos bty hunting is a big factor. In general, people like going after high bty targets, not negs. So it's a double win -- the team the wins the game gets specials refreshed (not always a good thing but usually!); everyone else gets to keep going for the high bty targets. Just be careful if the high bty guy you're fighting suddenly wins the flag game -- odds are he got a full charge as one of his re-greens <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
