So just to be clear, the existence of teams implies that "kill everything and everyone you see" is a lie, right? We're not supposed to kill our team mate? We probably shouldn't even consider it and see that as completely off the table, for the sake of good sportsmanship and not being mean to our fellow players?
I never lie, even when I am not telling the truth. Suffice to say, you will be killing other players at some point.
Don’t think of it as being mean, think of it as competition. Respawns will be allowed at designated points, but they will carry penalties.
