I agree with everything you said there.
However the game you're describing was a troll game from the start since people were fighting previous to our contribution.
And I'm sure you remember, people kept spawning hunters and bouncing around the map.
Needless to say, jumping on the bandwagon is unnecessary; we merely continued the non serious game, a game in exclusion from the norm, as you mentioned there kindly.
So yes, that day people were fooling around.
