Technical question: Keeping track of slimes

[Anti Hacker]

when a slime is split, a new slime that is NOT A CLONE OF the previous slime is spawned. However, these split-spawn slimes are not remembered in single player and so cannot be piped. As the new slimes are not a clone of the previous one, they also have a chance of turning into a red. When a red is found by one player online, everyone else can also see that slime just as they can see a rare red box or rare other moster (Al rappy etc).
You cannot pipe online.
If it appears a slime is being hit whilst being still on the floor, this is most often because due to lag the slime has risen on one players screen and will pop up on everyone elses screen to if given the time, but usually someone hits it before this happens. I cannot remember whether it is the person with lots of lag or with a high speed that sees the slime first. This can also be why you get that odd animation where it appears a slime just fades away in blob form on the floor and appears somewhere else.
If one player does not see a slime, or if a certain type of player attacks a slime this will not affect its behaviour other then which attack it uses (Blue bouncy blob thing or ground scythe). Even this is due to your proximity to the slime (you are more likely to be closer if you are a hunter) and so this is still not really affected by class.
