Had a couple of very good games in FF Limited. Strangely enough, the first was when a very annoying kid was notified he was going to be muted by everyone else in the party for being annoying.
His response was to suicide to drain all of the lives.
We took that as a challenge, and decided collectively not to die. We kept going, and at the start of each Round, the dude would suicide away to take the rest of the lives. I imagine he got kind of pissed after a while, because late in Round 3 he snagged a Ghost that was laying around and tried to go on splatter runs to kill
us. I overcharged and then stuck his Ghost, bursting him out of it as from a peanut shell. One guy on our team had un-muted him to listen to his rage, and I could hear the screaming from through his mic. It nourished me.
W made it to the boss round of the final Round. We would have finished up had I not spent forever and a day on an epic freaking Last Man Standing run. At the beginning of the Elite/Hunter/Grunt wave in Round 3 we get the drop pod of Concussion Rifle-toting Brutes, which kill everyone (who hasn't suicided).
Probably my highlight of the week, if not year. It helped that I had two spotters.
We party up and play again, and
get matched with the same shithead on Unearthed for a second time in a row. This time he merely idles, but I hang out near the spawn room and prevent him from dying, and we finish the entire Set.
It was an odd experience, with one player from either end of the spectrum - one very good player, and one complete jerk. But I felt like we beat him, and had two great games to boot. Landing the 3,000 cR jackpot at the end of the second game was icing on the cake.
