There has been "Team Melee", "Team Free For All", and "Team Capture The Flag" since StarCraft existed. I have made my own patch and naming it Patch X and works perfectly well in Battle.net as it ignores to download the latest patch and surprisingly does not crash StarCraft to those with official patches and Patch X if playing in the same game. Patch X is simply a share control for Use Map Settings. Players with Patch X are able to control units from other players, but those with official patches will suffer miserably if they happen to get annoyed by seeing their own units move with a mind of its own. Although players with Patch X are truly controlling those units.

The following screenshot has been taken in a UMS map named Epic Game Party by MillenniumNavy especially designed for "Team Use Map Settings".

As you can see, another player is controlling the Zergling. Due to the fact that both players control the same units, they are seen as one color in the scoreboard. Clearly, the player is hidden even if she has a different player color as seen from their typed messages.

Typically, Player 1 (or whomever has the lowest number) is able to control the Zergling that is able to decide what epic game should be played. Clearly, Player 2 had wasted Player 1's time by moving the Zergling left and eventually the text disappears, leaving Player 1 confused and the timer in seven seconds.
MillenniumNavy and I, along with anonymous others, have coined the term "grief" (As opposed to "Team") and is considered to be the greatest enjoyment since mankind. Imagine that Player 1 made twenty four marines and are prepared to attack, and Player 2 controlling Player 1's Marines had stimmed themselves to 10 hp and killed each other. This is an excellent feature of advantages against players with official patches.
As it is called "Team Use Map Settings", new triggers gives players the opportunity to set the chance to have players control their opponents' units. This is an outstanding tactic if you are playing as a Cat in a Cat and Mouse map, where you can use your mouse to attack its allies for great glory. And there is an opportunity to control Player 12's units as well, as it reveals to be an excellence of spy tactics without the need of scouting with actual player units.

Players who have tested Patch X have also played bound maps. Not only if one player is away from her keyboard, she can control her units as a "second life" to finish the obstacle course. And there are special occasions that amazing events of controlling the lead player to her death.

There are ways to turn off Share Control only through triggers, but as there is no option to turn it off in the Menu, diplomacy window (Ally/Vision), neither the Chat window (To All/To Allies/To Private). This is because Blizzard never really bothered to add such feature as seen in WarCraft III.

This patch will be released to the public exactly when StarCraft II is released, therefore it will drag players away from StarCraft II and stick playing with Brood War. But playing this patch anywhere in South Korea will not work.

You can PM me, Moose, IP, Devourer, any of the other globals, and you can even write your congressman if you feel like it. This is SEN. We have rules, we have standards. If you don't like it, you can google for another SC site, where I'm sure they'll accommodate your MEDIOCRITY FOR ALL philosophy.

The "MilleniumNavy"/"Epic Game Party" kinda gave it away, in case you were fooled at first. And if you still thought it was real, the south korea part...

Don't tell your problems to people. 80% of people don't care, and the other 20% are glad you have them.

There should be no stupidity warnings so the problem solves itself.

I admit this is a pretty good April fools joke, but two things ruin it. The fact that there is a hack where you can do that,
you copied someone elses name and made them look like the bad guy.
