Bunge... hmm. Imagine you went for a bungee jump without tying off. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> It's another aspect of the Engrish in use, that came to be common slang. It'd properly be 'bungee', as when you fall off the bottom, you die. In a score match, you can 'drop in' again from the top of the screen.
Oh, and for those saying they can make 10K an hour. Sorry, suicide matches don't count, and you need to be slapped in the face with raw bacon until your parents are crying. Unless, of course, you're referring to the extra-gold avatar items. At which point it could be possible... you just need to have decent luck and good aim, making a lot of extreme angle shots. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I don't suicide (anymore) =P10k/hr isn't TOO hard, and yeah, I do have tons of +gold avatars... like, 10 minute games, 1000 per, I guess that's more like 6000/hr...
anyway I was wrong about the whole cash thing -- I didn't realize cash was different from gold, so really 1000 cash is more like 10000 gold... so that's more sensible, and I may even do it =P
I mean you put in $1, it counts as 1000 "cash", which can buy a 10000 gold avatar... so it's one dollar per 10,000 gold now, basically, but it doesn't count toward the best avatars (gold armor + helmet, chief hair, bridegroom, pet 01, etc)
nice, yoshi =P I just got out of a game where I got knight, and pwned =P though most of the time I suck w/ the sekrit mobiles...
Hey dragon not bad The noobs ULTIMATE WEAPON!!! (just kidding but Its pretty much useless at long range like a Bigfoot and its crazy fun at close my highest with it was 1500 with Thors help) Yeah lets see some screens of Knight Hes not as bad **** as dragon but still cool looking. For those who don't know Dragon and Knight are rare mobiles that you can only get by selecting random as you mobile and hoping you get them its like a 2% I've heard but then again I've got Dragon, Dragon, Knight in a row in one game room (So many people **** but I was god for a NIGHT!)
and the guy who hates all the Indian things and pirate suits and that crap about noob grubbing and shotgun turtles... its a bit like NS... they have em because well lets face it, It works if it didn't people wouldn't use it why do you think there is such a high turn around rate of second accounts its because the Free zones are harsh places (I know I play em you need good stuff) and if grubs are SO noob why doesn't everyone use em? or why doesn't everyone use turtles? face it you may not like em but they are not as bad as you make em out to be... an A.Sate can do more damage then a turtle its all about your Skill baby skill... or as I like to say its about how good your karma is.
for a decent guide to gunbound check out <a href='http://www.planetgunbound.com' target='_blank'>http://www.planetgunbound.com</a> the FAQ and mobile guide should get you started nicely =3
If you want to know how it turned out - I got my butt kicked due to the way the knight attacks. Also, for flying points of light, it's projectiles are really freakin heavy and I'm acclimated to boomer at this point.
BTW, I've noticed that it handles the same way the A. Sate attacks, try practising with A. Sate first <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
As for me....I'm too much of a Lightning freak Im afraid....but I need to find some equipment to decrease my weapon delays -.-
Too bad those are a rarity, so now I have my money stats increased to a whooping 15 :/
I can't seem to a find a description of what each of the, um, "mobiles", do. Any links to guides? Otherwise, it is fun, the items seem very expensive, as I'm only making ~750 gold a round. I guess that'll improve though.

Naturally I agree with Mart about the pirate stuff.
I myself went ahead and got a spacesuit, mech helmet, and hockey mask, because they looked cool together. Doesnt do much for offense or defense, unfortunately. Don't burn yourseld out on Gunbound people, pace yourself. I burned myself out reaching double gold axe in the space of something like 2 weeks, and I stopped playing for like 2 months. I play again now though, NessEarthbound is the name to add to your buddylist if your looking for a match.
Actually, it was more like 450 rather than 750. However, while I seem to have some talent at this, since that number is rather high, I dont like this game at all. It's slow, which is annoying, but most of all the items cost waay too much. I played for a few hours only to get some 3500 Gold. At this rate, items will take too long for me to wait. I don't think I'll be playing much anymore.

Well...I've played it a bit long, and seem to understand most of it
Boomer - A bot that shoots boomerangs, their weapons rely on wind the most. Weapon 1 : A boomerang that does decent damage. 1 hit. Weapon 2 : A boomerang that hits multiple times. Many hits I can't even count. SS Weapon : Fires a regular boomerang. But when it is in midair for 1.5 secs or so, it turns into a golden boomerang.It then continues it's course,
Turtle - A bot that well....isn't a bot. Very dangerous at close range if they have a Dual or Dual+. Weapon 1 : Shoots a jet of water. 1 hit Weapon 2 : Shoots 2 jets of water that combine if they come down from a high angle. 2 hits. SS Weapon : Fires a globule of water that when it remains in midair for about 1.5 secs or so, splits into 5 or so smaller globules that spread out.
JD (aka Cakebot) - A bot that is good for bungeeing enemies. One shot is reguler, the other creates a vacuum that sucks in Shield and Machine bots, but not Bionics. Weapon 1 : Shoots a spark that does decent damage. 1 hit. Weapon 2 : Shoots a spark that when hit on impact, creates a vacuum that sucks in Shield and Machine mobiles. SS Weapon : Opposite of Weapon 2, but it had a rather ig radius if I'm not mistaken.
Lightning (aka Lovebot) - A bot that shoots tracers that call down lightning. Weapon 1 strikes lightning straight down in a straight line. Weapon 2 does 2 lightning strikes from both sides. Weapon 1 : Shoots a tracer that calls down lightning from above. 1 hit Weapon 2 : Shoots a tracer that calls lightning from 2 sides at a 45 degree angle. 1 hit or so. SS weapon : Shoots a bird of lightning that explodes with a BIG radius. Can hit a lot of players if bunched up.
NakMachine - A bot that shoots from its rear. One if its shots can burrow into ground. Weapon 1 : Regular shot. 1 hit. Weapon 2 : Very hard to explain....when you shoot and it touches the ground, it burrows and travels underground at the opposite angle (shot landing 45 degrees up = burrow down for 45 degrees at same strength) and explodes when it leaves terrain. Explodes on impact if players. SS Weapon : Shoots a shot that ignores terrain, hitting anything in its path. Tricky to use if you ask me <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Bigfoot - A bot that shoots missiles and bombs. Extremely dangerous with a Dual at close range, if he manages to put you into a nice, big hole <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Weapon 1 : Shoots 4 missles that explode on impact. Rather wide spread. Weapon 2 : Shoots some bombs (most like 5) at the same time. Wider spread than Weap 1. SS Weapon : Similar to Weapon 1, but more bungee and digging potential.
RaonLancher - A bot that is rather funny....but really, its dangerous. Weapon 1 : Shoots 2 Raons that attach on the floor, and act as land mines. If there are any Mobiles near the Raons, the active Raon walks to the intended target. Weapon 2 : Shoots 2 mine-type things that explode on impact. Twirls as well <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> SS Weapon : Shoots a bigger Raon that walks to any nearby target and explodes.
Mage - A bot that is sort of like a cross between a Turtle,RaonLauncher and Lightning. Can't explain it much :/ Weapon 1 : Shoots a beam of light that eplodes on impact. Similar to Turtle's Weap 1 attack Weapon 2 : Shoots 2 beam of light that twirl. Similar to RaonLauncher's Weap 2 attack. SS Weapon : Shoots a shot that creates a big blast radius like Lightning's SS. Only thing is this tends to strip more shield points than health points <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Trico - A dinosaur that shoots explosive cabbages or something :/ Weapon 1 : Shoots an explosive cabbage. Weapon 2 : Similar to Weap 1, but this time it has 2 more cabbages revolving around the center cabbage. SS Weapon : Shoots some sort of egg that cant explode that big :/
Armor - A mobile that shoots mortars of some sort. Cant explain much since I don't see em much :/ Weapon 1 : Shoots a mortar or something. Can't distinguish this with weap 2 due to rarity Weapon 2 : Shoots a mortar again :/ At least this one is more powerful SS Weapon : Shoots a mortar that hurts quite a bit.
Ice - An elephant....thing....shoots icicles and snowballs that can hurt Weapon 1 : Shoots a shard of ice, not much splash. Weapon 2 : Shoots a snowball that when on impact, seems to lower the enemies defenses <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> SS Weapon : Shoots a snwoflake, but I haven't seen what it does yet :/ ----------
And that's all I know. Hopefully <a href='http://www.gunbound-hq.com' target='_blank'>http://www.gunbound-hq.com</a> can help you, I'm pretty stumped right now typing all this lol
EDIT : As for items, the numbers aren't the price, its the delay time it has if you use it. So gather all you want if you want <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
armourmobile is rare because it rather unfortunately sucks =P
a few more bits of info;
ice actually damages your armour which doesn't come back even if you die and respawn so it's pretty lethal in score games as the amount of damage you take from hits just goes up and up and up =s
both mage and lighting's special are heavy shield drainers. You'll note that some machines have 'blue' energy, the specials basically wipe that right off. Shield-based mobiles also regen health <u>slowly</u> as shield over turns =3
Turtle's shot 2 is an infamously effective close range weapon, often resulting in people using it at point blank and the name 'turtle shotgun' being used to describe it ^^;
Trico's special is a random multi-explosion, it explodes several times inside the detonation graphic and is pretty nasty for either carving great chunks out of the level or hitting multiple clustered enemies =D
Armourmobile's special is a high ranger like boomer or turtle's SS; after x amount of time in the air it goes from being a pretty poop damage attack to an uber attack of super dmg XD
when fighting, try to stick to your first weapon until you're sure of your aim, that way it keeps your delay low and stops everyone blowing heck out of you, same goes for SS shots really; don't shoot them unless you're sure they'll hit and the hit will count. Generally it's best to keep your SS until it'll kill someone or you know you can fire it then not suffer a pounding while you wait for your delay to boil off =P
On another note, anyone with a golden mace will do a LOT of damage, so run away ^^;
