What came in my head was how if you go the opposite way and it'll be like the total opposite and comes with a weird ending.
Think of it as an alternate ending or something.
I think there needs to be a bit more elaboration on what this gamemode is. One player takes the role of Frosty and must kill all the other players whom are elves running away on a linear map to the goal: The North Pole. It isn't a story based thing if that was what you thought it was, even if you did know it wasn't, having a single player chase a group of players going completely opposite paths kind of ruins the gamemode's actual intention. I guess if it were an easter egg that one can view by like going back deeper into the spawn cave for a short little joke would work, but iunno. I must say the idea of sidetracking to the South Pole on the way to the North Pole for a linear map is hilarious though!
