And now it makes sense why all the dudes joining me in cat and mouse games back in the day had such stellar records! God this would be awesome to do today, nothing like some fresh nerdrage to soothe away life's pains

Oh wow, that must have been excilerating. I bet such games were far more interesting with actual death consequences (one single thing significantly different than Mafia since true Townies don't fear death). One question though... wouldn't it have been easy for the players to discover the "phantom" by checking win-loss ratio? Unless you invest notable amount of time building up record as similar as your prey, you would expect people to aim first for the one with losses or few victories.

because the computer does the awesome 12 zealot rush that sadly a lot of people wouldn't be able to hold.

and it's fun to make carriers on bgh/fastest maps


Hey man, I sometimes die to that 12 zealot rush =(

It's actually quite hard to hold TvP on occasion, if it's some build like 14 CC.

A fair number of people who joined these 7v1 compstomps either had new accounts, or were trying to get their regular account W/L up-- so not everyone joining was 70/0, and you wouldn't get kicked or banned for trying to join with a subpar ratio.

Also, who specifically was 70/0 and who was like 25/30 or whatever wasn't checkable in-game, and most people wouldn't remember who was what midway through the game.
When you stare into the iCCup, the iCCup stares back.

I remember when I would go TvT style mass dropships every single game.

If I'm Phantom: Drop everywhere and starve everyone out and win.

If I'm not: Drop whoever is deemed phantom.
