tag team
- verb/1 The tactic of several players
attacking a single persona (usually a highlife)
repeatedly with throwaways, bringing on
substitutes instantly to replace those their victim kills. Their victim can't
quit, because he or she can never kill everyone before new replacements arrive,
and is thus always in a fight. Second-guessing the names of incoming personae
and disabling them before they arrive can work, but canny tag teamers
use long, random letter sequences as names to make this a lot harder.
Eventually, the highlife has either to flee or die.
Tag team is generally preferred in the US; the UK also uses
swarm. See bundle.
