| Since ROBLOX has brick physics, shouldn't Torque and Lua switch places? |

As has been said in this thread already, lua doesn't have anything to do with physics. We are using the Bullet engine for our brick physics, and it could just as well handle actual server sided physics, not just client sided physics. The bullet physics engine has been used in everything from games on the PC, Xbox, Wii, and PS3, to big budget films. We don't have brick physics because it was a there was a conscious design choice made not to include them, not because we aren't using lua. Lua is not a magic programming language written by the god of computers, where you can literally type "physics plz" and the game will automatically become the most realistic physics simulator in the universe with no effort on your part. |

By that argument, Blockland shouldn't have any deathmatches. |
