OutWhored
We started with 3: Host was a Typhoon N7 Destroyer, Pug 2 was a PPR TGI, I was a Valiant SI. We ended up in London/Collectors/Gold. Wave 3, the TGI and I were the only ones escorting; the Typhoon Destroyer was camping up top trying to scorewhore. So I left the escort to go stand in front of him and headshot all his targets. The TGI asked on the mic why he was the only one escorting. I texted back, incrementally:
"because the host is a scorewhore"
"and the only language they understand"
"is superior scorewhore"
End of Wave 3 I had twice the host's score. The TGI was in 3rd place, though, and needed to step it up a bit.
Wave 4 we were joined by a 4th member, who really wasn't much more than a decoy.
Wave 5 was a fustercluck of chit up on the top ramp, abominations and seeker plagues galore, and all three of them stuck in a revive chain for the entire wave. I texted to them:
"you are allowed to move"
but by that point the revive train was going full steam ahead and there was no getting off now.
Wave 6 was Pizza, the host thought he was clever and decided to Ragehold the pizza until the mission failed. Funnily enough, he tried to do this by doing the exact same thing as Wave 5: camp the top and refuse to budge. To his credit, he outlasted the TGI and the new guy, but in the end he was down, out of gels on Wave 6, and I was able to move in and finish the mission. I texted:
"TEAM MISSION: PASS"
"HOST MISSION: FAIL"
I got some encouragement over the mic from the TGI as I was cleaning up the Wave.
There wasn't much to say about Waves 7-9. 10 was a hack under the stairs, of course the host was nowhere to be found the entire time.
Wave 11 he went down with 20 seconds to go, no one moved to revive him and he was out of gel. I texted:
"Good."
And the rest of us extracted. A Possessed Abom blew up on all of us and downed us all, but extraction had already ticked. Does the endgame enemy wipe cause Abom explosions? Or did someone shoot it? I never paid attention to this detail until now, but I am curious what happened there. It was a great way to end that derpy game, so if it was deliberate, kudos to whoever did it.
When the scoreboard came up, the TGI was in 2nd place, above the scorewhore host. I texted:
"GG (redacted), this will make a great BSN story"
