What do you all reccommend to get the water off the tent when it starts to pool. Obviously if the tent is fairly tight it won't be so much of a problem but when the rain is incessant it is bound to happen.

It shouldn't be a problem, so I leave it. Except when I'm bored. Then I like to "chase" it down the side. Pathetic, I know.

yes, it's absolutely normal to get soaked by ones own pranks. In future, wait for that nasty neighbour before you chase that puddle off the tent...
