This is slither for money, so that it costs you one dollar to start a new snake, you get one cent per point, and you get to cash out any time. So the leader board people would be making 30 dollars at a time regularly and many more people would be spending tens of dollars starting up over and over.

Another eat-and-grow multiplayer game that people could similarly bet on their performance in. [Rory O'Kane, May 30 2017]

[JHC], since you inadvertently introduced me to Slither, progress on saving mankind through molecular biology has been significantly retarded. I have also broken the left and right arrow keys on my Mac, and I have yet to make it above #2 on the leaderboard.

If it was advertently then I'll send you the bill.

OK. After approximately 35 hours of total playing time, I made it to the #1 slot on the board. This means I can now stop, and replace the broken keys on my Mac. Damn you, [JHC], damn you to Hull.

// damn you to Hull //

C'mon [MB], that's pretty harsh ... even [JHC] doesn't deserve to be sent to Hull. To burn in Hell for all eternity with no hope of relief is grim, but being sent to Hull ? No-one's that bad.

Well, maybe Gordon Brown. And Tony Blair. And Justin Bieber. And ...

But not real people ...
