In the dojo the precise second it turns 12am PST I can gain more points (if i reached max the previous day) the dojo clock i know for sure has to be server side. I have done many things to test the possibility of it being a simple lag issue. I synced my comp time with internet PST settings, and reached max points in that day I waited in dojo at Mushy, waited till the moment it hit 12am PST and i was able to gain more points. I did it 5 secs earlier 10 secs earlier didnt work. but at the very sec of 12am PST it worked. I used to work for Ambiron Trustwave, a company that dealt with the network security for the Australian Stock Exchange, I know all about sever lag and latency issues. I have pinged the maple severs and my avg latency is 33ms. I have run all sorts of tests am i am reasonably convinced its not a lag or latency issue.
Probably because there isn't any requesting or special conditions involved. The server is likely coded with the condition of "at 12 PST reset everyone's point totals for that day to 0". It doesn't matter what you're doing, the second it hits 12 PST the server just does the action. Whereas with snipe the user has to activate the skill which goes into the whole sending of the information to the server, and then setting up a little cooldown period of 5 seconds yadda yadda.
