Way to go guys! There are bound to be several Al-Qaeda cells in there. Don’t forget Counterstrike. Lots of terrorists there and they usually win most of the rounds….
Not a bad idea if you think about it. Assemble a team, start up an expensive program, throw in a few million dollars of tax money and start hunting suicide elves. If they subcontract this, they might catch some extremist trolls and everyone can earn a buck on this wonderful event.

Well I did my part. I used to play as a counter-terrorist on Counterstrike and I was quite good at defeating the evil terrorist’s team.
