Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Achilles was a greek mythical fighter who's heel messed up in battle and I think it got him killed. Hence the phrase Achille's heel.
The greatest of all Greek Heroes, he was invincible except for his heels. There are several reasons why. One is his mother, who was a God, wanted him to be immortal so she burned him in a pyre, and rubbed ambrosia all over him, but forgetting to do his heels because she was interrupted OR she dunked him in the river Styx, and did not get his heels because that is where she held him. In either case, in the later years of the Trojan War, the Trojan Prince Paris fired an arrow, which was guided by the God Apollo who hated Achilles for how he defaced his temple, and it struck his heel. Killing him. Thus as MC's Brother stated, is both why that area on our body is called, the 'Achilles' Heel'. And also why we use the tern, "His Achilles Heel," meaning weakspot.
