Quoteit definitely sometimes drops though too... but i guess i missed the older map that had the explanation in it.

I should have specified that the amount emitted by the cursor is directly proportional to the amount of area covered in AC. So it can increase or decrease, depending on how much of the map is covered in AC.

And AG, you can't be dumb. Truly dumb people don't realize that they are and are also incapable of proving themselves to be otherwise. Neither condition applies to your case.  ;)
You disagree with this sentence, don't you?

Your cursor bleeds anti-creeper. The more ground you cover, the more anti creeper it bleeds.

Importantly:   
Your cursor only bleeds Anti-creeper **when it is over anti-creeper covered ground**.
It does not drop AC when over dry ground.
It does not drop AC when over space, even AC-flooded space.
It does not drop AC if the ground under it is covered by any thickness of creeper.
On any given tick, if your cursor does not drop its AC due to any of the above, that AC droplet is *lost*.
The cursor drops the AC directly under the tip of the cursor, *plus* a couple of pixels wide circle around it.(due to splash, i think)
The more of the map covered by AC(depth does not matter), the more your cursor will drip. *this includes spilled AC in space!*

You can convert enemy emitters by overwhelming them. Look to their power *and refresh rate*. A 100/3sec is much weaker than a 25/0.1sec
You can climb up walls, with some difficulty. All you need is *one* pixel of AC on the wall, then point your cursor at this AC spot.
If you ever fill a location next to space to over level 500 AC, the AC will  flood out into space. The smaller your target the faster and easier this happens. Those single-pixel islands on this map are *ideal* for this use.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I will try this map again this evening  :)

As a suggestion: The explanation given by marvinitfox should be added to the map description to help out new players like me.

Yes yes. Very detailed and accurate information given by the marvinitfox - what the fox say!

I'd strongly recommend searching for cursor maps and playing them from the beginning. I think they're all great  ;)
