A funny thing happened on the way to Lumberyard...

Holy crap... I'm actually using the Journal here!
So
matrixcodex, Dougal, Lusipurr, my friend Josh from work and I were playing TF2 Arena mode today. Needless to say it was quite awesome. In the process of our game we ended up coming up with a sub-game mode to play during Arena!
This new sub-game of Arena came about when we all decided to go melee only (the server we play on is an all-talk server with some really cool people that play on it, so this sort of thing actually works) but as with any server that tires to verbally set rules there is always one douche who doesn't play along. So our game play evolved and the game of "Kill the Douche" was born.
Initially the object of the game was, only kill the Douche not playing along before going after other people. Eventually the douches left and the game started to evolve. The new object of the game was everybody on the teams all went one class while the designated douches (1~2 per team) got to play whatever class they wanted. After using an ad-hoc system to determine who would be the Douches on the team it was decided the top 2 people on each team would be the Douche. Since it was Arena mode this worked out well because people would be rotated around and the douches would change based on who had to sit out. The people sitting out on the particular round would referee and declare the winning team and an end to the round.
Once all the Douches on a team were killed the game then went to melee only until the unofficial end of the round.

Oh the fun that was, douchebaggery to be had on every match.
