Me & Peewee over @ www.tastyspleen.net have been working out a new Quake 2 mod idea based on this thread. Several spleeners joined on the test:

Here's the skinny on the mod: there's one wolf & everyone else is sheep. Everybody looks the same. The wolf needs to kill sheep to get points & the sheep need to kill the wolf to get points, then the ybecome the wolf.
Scoring goes like this:
Wolf killing sheep: 1
Sheep Killing wolf: 3
Sheep Killing sheep: -3
The sheep model was created for this mod. Currently the mod has the FFA feature where it plays as described above ("lone wolf" game mode). It also has a cvar "sv_wolfswap 1" that has the player who killed the wolf become the wolf & "sv_wolfmod 1" which replaces the old death message with new mod-oriented ones.
Before the mod gets it's first official release here's what's going to be tackled:
*force model cvar so everyone must look identical
*bigger penality for sheep who continuously kills other sheep
*another game mode where the wolf "assimilates" killed sheep to looks like wolves ("pack" game mode, even more confusion: who's the real wolf?!?!)
*vwep support
future plans:
*cvars to determine weapon loadout of sheep/wolf
*player streaks (frag's)

That has to have been really awkward when RailWolf first saw the message "You are the wolf!"
A positive motivational moment. LOL
