Hiya,

Urban Brawl/Courier Run say to designate a carrier, do I have to declare who
it is? The other night my opponent kept GAQing the carrier right before I'd
reach the objective. Can I just write it down and keep it a secret?

Thanks,
Keith

Nope. That's the whole means of the Objective and your opponent uses the
best strategy against you : "let him kill himself. If he make it to the
end, bring that carrier back to the safehouse".

Exactly... Urban Brawl is a 30 point objective. It changes all challenges into, well,
wimps, so the only real defense is nuking the ball carrier. That's why the objective is
worth so much, because the run is so easily stopped (that is, of course, unless you make
Skitz your ball carrier...eeeee).

The other reason it's worth that much, compared to Cermak Blast, is that
you cannot sleaze the challenges. With Cermak Blast or Cleanse the Hive,
the challenges are considered awakened. So you can sleaze them with
Invisibility and the like (unless your powerful enough to face the queen
alone, don't play Invisibility on Cleanse the Hive).

The Ball-carrier (or package holder) is known to all players. However,
it makes for a pretty cool variant if you indicate it only by a slip of
paper. The trouble is, of course, that that might lend itself to
cheating (not that anyone would do that).
