Taking advantage of a primitive team

@@VivaLaDirtLeague What isn't said in this video is that these false "primitives" have so high stats that they noticed Britt as soon as she got near their base, and they immediately pretended to do primitive tasks, even when she came back with her mates (and they perfectly heard that Rowan and Britt wanted to attack them). When the third team came, the "primitives" defeated them with their LOWEST moves so that Britt's team would still want to attack them. Rowan understood all that and wisely saved his teammates by PRETENDING to cowardly flee from these basic moves. Rowan is so smart ^^

I actually did this back on Ultimate Online. There was roleplaying groups that roleplayed orcs. There was no orcs in game, people just looted npc orcs and wore their orc helmets, then wore similar armor, and it made them look like orcs. Generally this meant the orcs had worse equipment. We wrecked everyone though. Because 1. We were roleplaying orcs so got into fights basically all the time, with everyone, so everyone was very experienced in combat. And 2. If you are not afraid of losing your equipment, you can be hyper aggressive and take risks a person normally wouldn't take.
