Feelings are not the only things which can be passed among water war players like feelings. This is not really a new discovery, but in a way it is. I've known for quite a while that the RM can turn new members into veterans in literally minutes, ie the "veteran effect". However, I've never had a solid explanation for that, as we conduct no training. Now I have that explanation - experience itself can be passed like a feeling such as nervousness, arrogance, aggression, etc.
While in the presence of those with veteran experience, a brand new player may begin to acquire veteran qualities totally naturally, as if that player is able to draw them in right through the air. In as little as 5 minutes, a guy you just recruited 10 minutes ago could develop into an extremely successful and dangerous fighter, as if they've been doing this from the beginning.
If experience can be propagated across a team, then other things must work as well. Speed can be passed this way, to a point. In a fast-action engagement, and I mean a really fast-action engagement, I've noticed that a usually slow player may speed up significantly. This happened in both wars so far this season. Improved RM speed lifted everyone up with it.
I'm trying to think of what other non-feelings can be passed like feelings. There HAVE to be more! Obviously I am very excited by this realization, though I don't know the full extent to which it might be taken.
