Something has been missing in OBEY: a viable way to win as a snitch!
Enter the watchtower! Watchtowers are a way that robo can reliably pay a snitch to stay put and watch for attackers. It simply drops the given autopay every 37 seconds. So now there is a way for a snitch to earn a reliable income, and possibly win if he plays his hand right.

NOTE to newer players:
Sometimes new players get frustrated when a a different player plays as a snitch, making it seemingly impossible to subvert. There are ways to counter a snitch:

• Obtain a pointer before making a break for it. If the snitch sees you and starts pointing you out, make your own arrows in wrong places to throw robo off.
• Subvert from behind or the side of robo, grabbing items on your way to climb robo and drop down in front of the door for an instant subvert
• Trick robo into thinking that the snitch is about to win, and get him to kill or remove/reduce the snitch’s autopay.
• Whisper to the snitch that you will give him major cash if he lets you subvert (use /w to type a whisper)

Other significant changes include:

• Robo’s HUD now displays what buttons you can press when you hover over anything
• A/D no longer change autopay directly. You have to LOOK at the feedbox you want to change, or the watchtower. Hence, you can also set different autopay on different feedboxes if a map has more than 1.
• Added Polish and Dutch languages
• Permanent “trophies” that will show by your name if you place in tournaments! (past winners let the me or the mods know so we can mark you with some 🙂 )
• Tons of bug fixes and improvements!
