What is Farcaster and why is Twitter so hyped about it?
Discussion
I believe it's the player furthest away from the base because they can throw the ball very far.
"Farcaster technology was given to humanity by the TechnoCore. A farcaster is a means of transportation which allows one to travel immense distances instantaneously, without any time delay. They are central to the Hegemony of Man, as a system of farcasters connects the planets comprising the Hegemony's WorldWeb."
