Psychological Damage II. Only for advanced users.

The point of the picture above is not to make you laugh. There's two correct responses for that picture.

1. N00bs - "Holy shit, I never expected that."
2. Psychological Damage Pro's - "I heard that shit with my headphones from the other side of the map"

Some of my favorite Psychological Damage tactics fall into the following techniques which really screw with the opponent. My next post will have my super duper party pooper favorite.

"HE'S GOT ELEVEN TOES! That bastard." - The "He's got eleven toes! That bastard." is a crowd favorite. This technique benefits your team just as much as it benefits you. Lets say there's 6 routes to run on a map: Under, Bridge, Middle, Market, Caverns, Defense. Lets also say your >>db:spaz and your pro at flag capping (your not, but I'll let you feel good about yourself for now). Your job is to get flags, but which way do you bring the flag back?

Step 1: You go Under and touch the flag 10 times but never get to return it because you drop it in Market on the way back.

Step 2: When you respawn, you do the same thing. You go Under, get the flag, AND THEN TURN AROUND AND GO BACK UNDER!

Step 3: You just greased their Grandma's and faked them out. l0l, they thought you went market.

It's as simple as that. Do the exact same by the book strategy tons of times and switch it up. There is one key to this strategy though. Don't switch it up if they are able to stop you reliably. Then of course they know your going a different route. If you just go under and can't even get to their flag, you shouldn't switch routes. You should just uninstall so my eyes can stop bleeding everytime I have to spectate you, kthx.

So why is this technique called the "He's got eleven toes! That bastard."? Because when you take the flag and the enemy says "HE'S GOING MARKET", the next thing the enemy says is "SHIT! He went back under. Bastard must have eleven toes or something."

What they don't know is that I only have 10 toes. Now they have even more Psychological Damage because they think they are playing a FPS and losing to someone with eleven toes. Man, if I had 11 toes, I could stick the flag in my foot and still have enough toes leftover to run.
