We were walking through the parking lot where every parking space had a name painted in white on the ground. All the the names were in alphabetical order and we were between the Hs and Gs.

I was playing a 4-player free-for-all game in Starcraft:BW. It wasn’t long before I had the suspicion that red, who was in the bottom left corner of the map, was cheating.
