I was wondering if anybody might remember this mod from several years ago.
In '97 or '98 i played this mod for quake on mplayer named q-ball.  It was
for original quake not quakeworld so the lag was pretty bad.  But it was
great team game.  There were 2 teams and the object was to find the quad
damage.  Once the quad damage was held your team would gain a point every 10
seconds.  1 player on the team would hold the quad damage, while holding it
they would only have their axe available relying on their teamates to
protect them.  You could "throw" the qball by switching to another weapon.
The mod was really fun and I havent seen it since mplayer had it for quake a
long time ago.  Has anybody ever recreated this mod?

Unreal 2k3 has a mod called Mutant or something that is similar...some
one is 'It' and they get are the only one that can get frag points for
kills.  Once another player kills the Mutant that player becomes 'It'
and can score frags.

A game mode similar to this is in Jedi Knight 2 where one man gets the
Light Sabre and so on and so forth.

I've also heard of another that is more similar to the one you
described but I can't think of where...it was for something like Q3 or
half-life...but I just can't think of what it was.  Sorry.

There is a q-ball mod for Quake 3.  But it is a paintball mod and not
related to mplayer q-ball for Q1  which i desribed above.

There was another great mod for Q1 similar to the one you mention above
called SRAMA.  One person was "it" and they were super powerful with lots of
HP and Armor and had quad damage.  Everybody else tried to kill whoever was
it so that they could become it.  After you became it you had 10 seconds
before you could move so that other players had time to regroup to try to
kill you.
