I'd add a question to this--with dead boxes behind your own flag station, how does one go about 'walking toward what they want to bunker'? Or do you only pull a DMW when you are the last guy on the field, and let them come to you?

You can do anything your heart pleases...we had a teammate who delighted in pulling DMW's, even though we asked him not to...he thought it was amusing, all the yelling that happens afterwards but I had to deal with the irate team captain...at one tournament, I specifically asked about DMW and Bassman smiled and said "yes", then when the team was all up in my face later, Bassman asked "Were you at the team captain's meeting?" and at the "Yes" answer, he didn't say anything else except to tell the head ref that the DMW was allowed and smiled at me again, and walked away...our idiot (hi Ans) was on the 40, on the showtape, by himeself against two guys, the ref came in to check him, he told the ref what he was going to do and asked him not to say anything, and not to pull his armband (he's had refs automatically pull his armband, even AFTER he's told them what he's going to do), so our guy started cursing and stood up with his head, and gun down and walked twards the tape and proceeded to walk dejectedly PAST the two opponents TWARDS the other teams start station...when he got even with the other two, he didn't even turn his head, he just shot the two guys and of course he got lit up, and they jumped up and started yelling...that's where I came in to convince the ref to make the right decision while the game was in play...of course afterwards much "discussion" still happened
My point? If you act like you're dead, no-one cares what direction you're walking, if you're good at acting. This is why walk-on players think that older Tourney players are dicks, because tourney players old enough to be pissed off at DMW's will light up someone standing up in a heartbeat if their gun isn't up fast enough...and sometimes even if their gun is up. They're just playing safe and going with the "Shoot 'em all and let god sort them out" train of thought.
Also, I've seen someone, last person on their team going against about 5 guys, stand up after a check, and walk dejectedly to their Deadbox, and then stand in FRONT of it with their gun down...the elated other team grabs the flag as their High-Fiving each other and turn to run for their flag station and proceed to get very angry as the DMW player lifts his gun and lights up the backs of the the other team, grabs the flag and hangs it. Of course the other team also lit up the DMW guy, but of course they were dead and the hang was considered good...I hate DMW's...
