What SL Viewer Do You Use At The Moment?

What is your drug of choice?

Recent issues with the Emerald viewer (arguably the most frequently used viewer) prompted most C:SI people to search for other viewers that will work well with spars, among other SL and C:SI activities. There are a lot out there, like Rainbow, Snowglobe, Kirstens, and the maligned SL Viewer2, but none as seemingly more satisfying than Emerald. Recently, however, viewers like Imprudence and Phoenix (wondering if Phoenix-san has to do with this, あははは(*´д｀*)) were pushed into the limelight.

I personally prefer Kirstens when sparring. Kirstens does not work well with most, but this viewer is able to bring down my ping sim to as much as 250, which matters very much to me (this is the lowest that I can ever obtain). Otherwise, I get an average of 275-300 in other viewers.

Oftentimes, however, I find myself using Emerald (even when sparring) simply because I like Emerald’s multiple smart capabilities. I have tried Imprudence, and results have been inconsistent. Sometimes it works like a dream; other times it is simply blah. I have yet to try Phoenix.

What about you? What is your drug of choice…I mean, viewer of choice? I am sure many would like to know. The implications of your choice as regards your sparring requirements definitely cannot be ignored.
