So me and a mate were playing team doubles on the same console.
Our last game had been against two boosters, who thought they were being clever by shooting us first but then letting us kill them (rather than the normal booster technique of standing still and just jumping). We knew something was up so spent half the match not killing them. Near the end of the match, they started suiciding to make sure we'd win. We tried to counter this by suiciding too (We want to legitimately win games, not be given a win by boosters), but our lead was too great and we still won. (Gamestats
Our next game, was against the same two players. It was oddball, so me and my mate decided to throw the game, just to inconvenience the boosters.
We feigned ignorance of how to play oddball, and just ran around killing them for a bit. In this time they didn't touch the ball once. I got a message a couple of minutes later from one of the boosters telling me to "pick up the ball". I sent one back saying "how? Show me". So he picked up the ball, but threw it back down before they got a point.
I killed him them started melee-ing the oddball, and my mate joined in. I got a second message from one of the boosters helpfully telling me to "hold RB to pick up the ball". I sent one back asking him to show me again. He did. They accidentally got one point. So we started nailing them with kills.
They tried a new tactic and pretended to start playing, they got to 16 points and let us kill them, so we went to 14 and let them kill us. I think they thought we were playing at this point as they picked the ball back up and went to 32. So we played to 30 and then dropped it. They didn't come straight after us so we chased them and started killing them again.
They wisened up at that point, and ran around using the flag-hopping technique on the ball, so they didn't get any more points. We ran after the ball carrier deliberately missing them, they ran halfway round the map before they decided something was up and turned around to try and kill us, so we killed them and left the ball.
The game ended a couple of minutes later, the boosters 2 points ahead of us.
We might have lost the game, but we won a moral victory :D
My mate got a message from them after calling us "-blam!- -blam!- retards". mission accomplished; they were pissed off.

Side-Note from "Mate" (Todd Finney): It was hella fun, and the best bit was how ignorant they were, and how ignorant we pretended to be. Poor guys watched a painfully slow timer run down as they won a game they really didn't want to win... Props to them for not quitting. Oh, and they actually swore to me, and it made me cry inside.
