Hi,
I don't have Marathon installed, so I wasn't been able to do any custom map tweaks for it, but the iOS app I made does show who is playing and what games they're playing on all of Mariusnet, which includes Myth I-III AND Marathon.
You can download it here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mariusnet-online-multiplayer/id473428364?mt=8

Next time there's a Marathon game on, can you check what the gametype is listed as here?
http://www.mariusnet.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=serveronline&pintop=a1games
That uses the same XML feed. I've noticed a bug in the feed for Myth for a certain gametype, there could be similar ones for Marathon, but if you can check with the link above, then I can check the code.
So if I understand you right, Marathon has the following gametypes:
Body Count
KOTH
Kill the Man with the Ball
Every Man for Himself
Anything else?

The Marathon game types are listed in map.h:
/* Game types! */
enum {
_game_of_kill_monsters, // single player & combative use this
_game_of_cooperative_play, // multiple players, working together
_game_of_capture_the_flag, // A team game.
_game_of_king_of_the_hill,
_game_of_kill_man_with_ball,
_game_of_defense,
_game_of_rugby,
_game_of_tag,
_game_of_custom,
NUMBER_OF_GAME_TYPES
};
The XML reports the Myth game type, rather than the numeric code, so you'll have to do a string to string translation. Here it is:
Body Count -> Every Man for Himself
Steal the Bacon -> Cooperative Play
Last Man on the Hill -> Capture the Flag
Scavenger Hunt -> King of the Hill
Flag Rally -> Kill the Man with the Ball
(Defense is unused)
Balls on Parade -> Rugby
Territories -> Tag
Captures -> Netscript
Hope that helps!

Quick check: Grunty says Every Man For Himself was listed as Captures in the app, but you've got it linked to Netscript?
My mapping is correct. The gatherer may have been (mis)using a net script.
I could also use short instructions for each gametype, like there are for the Myth gametypes in the app (eg Capture the Flag = "Lose your flag, you lose")
Found Marathon gametypes on Wikipedia, but they didn't have all the ones you list here. Can you recommend a detailed Marathon info page?
The original game types are listed in the Marathon Infinity manual at http://trilogyrelease.bungie.org
Here's Benad's description of CTF and Rugby: http://www.insidemacgames.com/news/story.php?ArticleID=1153
The net script game type tells Aleph One to display the name of the Lua script selected as the game type; e.g. Elimination, Last Man on the Hill, Survival, etc. So, basically, custom games. The Lua script name is in the plugin section, though, which Mariusnet doesn't include in the XML.
