The name given to a tactic used in online gaming where a player will use a device that makes a loud noise or visible distraction (ie a Grenade, Smoke Grenade etc) in order to divert an opponents attention so that he can sneak up on him.
Named after a popular Counter Strike (1.6) player whose tag was 'ASM Jester', this player would frequently use the technique to divert the attention of small numbers of opponents and would then sneak up behind them.
The technique has become standard affair for the players of the new generation of 'Duck and Shoot' style games such as Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas.
ASM Jester was well known for his tactical gameplay and friendly banter, as well as some occasional high calibre trash talk. He wasn't one of the greats of CS 1.6, but you definitely wouldn't want him on the other team. A bit of a reputation as a 'dark horse' there are those who think that he is a Games Developer, and also some who believe that he is actually a Professional Gamer. Either way he is rumoured to have been seen recently on several Xbox360 servers using the same gamertag 'ASM Jester'.
