For any "twitch"-type reation-time gated gaming all players need to be in an acceptable range of "RTTs" to and from the server so that all perceive the world similarly and nobody has an unfair advantage/disadvantage, so absolute RTT does seem to matter. I would agree that jitter is nastier in that is will cause "randomish" variations of the RTT, but then the known solution against jitter is additional buffering (large enough to simply even out the unequal jittered packet arrival times) which in turn just increases the "RTT", no? (I guess no game really does this enough, so jitter stays the constant problem for internet game-play).

	Care to elaborate, please? As far as I can tell what I describe above is pretty universal iff fair "coordination" between different player's actions is required. How do you conceal issues about causal ordering of events that ideally are identical from all perspectives?
