I played a mobile game for awhile called Brawl Stars and in it there was a mode that was FFA with maybe eight to a dozen players. You quickly picked up that there was this little dance people would do to communicate that they wanted to have a temporary cease fire with you so that together you could take down all the solo players not employing such a strategy more easily. The gaming jargon for this is "teaming". Also by dancing I mean running or spinning in a circle, something that doesn't really have preexisting meaning to players before coming across this phenomenon.
