Can't you take your turn if you join a freestyle game last?
Honestly, since you were the last to join, you had a much better chance of doing well than you did if it was sequential.
Have you ever played Sequential 8-man Terminator on Lux or Doodle? It's a crapshoot.
You can easily be eliminated before your 1st turn in Sequential, too.
On the other hand... QoH was rather quick.

That's tough, Creepers. You were incredibly unlucky that QoH refreshed his/her "My Games" tab right after you joined the game.
But let me reiterate that you can be eliminated before your turn in sequential, as well as freestyle.
You may have a point about Freestyle players
... but the game you posted does not support that theory.
That game says absolutely nothing about the dangers of casual freestyle... it does, however, speak volumes about 8-man Terminators on Lux.
And, by the way, we should be making a distinction here about casual or speed freestyle.
The Ljex and Tdans references are obviously related to speed freestyle, which is not what Creepers is talking about.
He has only played one speed freestyle game.
If you want to talk about casual freestylers, I guess we're talking objective maps like Oasis or 3rd Crusade? - where it helps to have a lot of time on your hands and press the "B" button for hours until someone begins their turn and you win the game.
Are there other things that good casual freestylers do that other players hate (serious question)?
I hear the so-called "double turn" was eliminated!
