What is "no dropoff" option? Microblaster.net 's information pages for games on sysops servers lists "Startup Asset Dropoff : No dropoff"

Is this suppose to prevent cby cashing even when there is no death delay? If it is suppose to do that it doesn't. I am cbying mostly to see if I could do it and script it and dropping cash in citadel because it was not listed as against the rules in a ver 3.24 game. So I thought this might be a bug and reporting it.

No Dropoff means CBY Cash to your hearts content. If Dropoff is set to yes, then the number of figs and cash go down with each CBY cycle.

Thanks Helix. Not being a sysop I took "no dropoff" to mean I was not suppose to be able to dropoff figs/cash. But really "no dropoff" means that the rate and which you receive cash and figs after a death does not drop off but rather stays at game default. Got it.

And looks like I can clear nearly 400mil in 30min of cby cashing. Too bad move delay is 250ms. Maybe I could use an xport cby system and go faster. Haha, sure sysop will kick me off soon even if it is his fault for allowing the settings that allow this and not posting a rule against it. You can hardly call it a bug at this point when it is well know and settings are there to prevent it if you want to.

Hmm, what would be a better description for that... "Startup Asset Falloff"? "Startup Asset Decay"?
