In online real-time multiplayer...
If you had a choice to play with one of these things being faster than the other, which would you choose?
It's all fun and games until someone loses a lawsuit. Oh, and by the way, sending me private messages won't work. :/ If you must contact me, there's an e-mail address listed on the website in my profile.
Hmm.. it comes down to this:
1) To be able to act at the time one wishes or as close to it as possible (although possibly making the wrong decision or delaying because of the lack/delay of information).
or
2) Knowing what is going on when it happens (or as close as possible).. but possibly not being able to act upon it when one wishes it.
After having thought about it, I'm going for the first one.

Myself, I'll have to go with the other one.
With the first choice, you can act instantly in a world that you don't quite know about. With the second, you know what's happening but you have a speed disadvantage. I generally prefer a direct disadvantage to a lack of knowledge.

The first one, if your good enough, you should know what happens/is going to happen before the computer tells you.
