There Are Many Things That Annoy Me......

<div class="IPBDescription">(I think this goes here!)</div> There are many things that annoy me in this world. And I am currently full of pent up rage at a few in particular.
(Please note in some ways this is a rant please bear with me)

This is after a nice commanding session on some map I cannot remember (I think it was Nothing)

OK, all goes well I set our base with some basic stuff, (Observatory, armoury etc) an I think right We'll go get a hive.
Utillising scanner sweeps I find they have two hives, I choose the nearest one. I get a group of marines to go off and get the hive. They stick together, all goes well. Then the base that they're setting up gets ambused and they all die (so does the base no problem there it happens)

While this is going on I happen to be making a large reserve of RPs just for a rainy day (I don't run out)

A second base goes up and I say to the team all's going well. Then.... It all goes downhill.

Some person spams me saying "Its not going f***** well, your crap! blah, blah, blah. see if I care I'm the commander, I have some idea of whats going on) This continues, he no notices the nice reserve pile of RPs and now spams me that we aren't using any. (Thats the idea, I want to have some so I can slupply my marines if things go really bad.)

He wants bigger guns, I don't. They cost too much because unless they have HA or a jetpack they die too often (Thats my theory anyway)

He wants orders but, runs straight out of base expecting me to give them to him while he runs around.

Then everything goes wrong, all at once. People walk off on their own, no one follows my orders. The crap hits the fan. All while some person spams me. (He left eventully)

Now this normally wouldn't bother me, I'm sensable and in many ways I can see some points. But the annoying thing is that as a commander people expect you to be doing what they want, and when they want. They want you to drop them a HMG when your co-ordinating some assualt or they go Rambo and die and then blame you for not dropping a medkit. This I can deal with. People ask me for weapons when I can't get them, this is fine I just say learn to use your LMG, its free and doesn't cost me anything. (If they hadn't removed the not harming buildings bit I would have given myself an HMG and shot up half the base before leaving.)

But the one thing that completely annoys me is commander slagging. It ends up with the comm getting enraged, making the game bad for the person playing. He then cannot issue orders and it all goes wrong. In the end I wanted to yell (I don't have a voicecomm so this can be kinda hard)

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO ANY BETTER YOU GO COMMANDER!!!!!!!

Please don't slag/annoy/whatever the commander, he cannot be in three places at once doing three things. If you think he is being lame vote him out, They probably will not mind. (I think I better get some bots, I need comm practice)

Thank you for your kind patience, We now return to our scheduled programming.

    Said it before and I'll say it again, it's all about ignoring your marines. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm seriously thinking of binding "If you aren't where I want you to be, I'm not paying attention to you" to all my keys. Every time I do <i>anything</i> the marines get reminded of where they are on my list of priorities.

    Want to eject me? Fine. Chances are I'm not the problem (or at least not the whole problem). I know I'm a good commander. I've seen "Team one wins" from the Command view enough times that I don't need your input on the matter.

    Wait... I come in here intending to support Ven in his dislike for moronic marines and instead I just get infected by his maliciousness. Damn you Venmoch, damn you to hell. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I sympathize with your situation and give you a cookie and a slice of pecan pie.

    P.S. What <b>is</b> your avatar anyways? It looks so very familiar, but I can't place it and its driving me nuts.

    then u dont got a team ;(

    But yeah.. i hate being comm/marine because they never play as a team.. aliens are easier to work together esp cuz everyone has their own resources and can choose what they wanna spend it on..

    everyone thinks its always about "ME ME ME ME and ME"
    thats why i prefer organized teams (clans) w/ strats.. much more fun..

    This first funny point I see there is that you got spammed when you tried to encourage them. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You should request the HQ to send another unit with a commissar to come down and *control* the riot/disobedience. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Those people must have lost the spirit, not the hmg.

    the reason there are still so many newbies playing is not because they are just newbies, they dont even KNOW that these forums EXIST, or what forums are for that matter, to know that we hate everything they do!

    even if i'm not a commander (have never been) i get really tired of marines yelling that they need something.. then someone else needs something and then another one want's something...
    the commander would need endless with resources to fullfill everyones needs at the same time...

    and there is many out there that doesn't understand that the commander have better look at thing's.. offcourse the marines can help since the comm can't be in every place at the same time..
    and offcourse the comm should listen to the marines...

    like one's when me and another marine had been taking out a hive and he died so iwas the only one left i quickly asked the comm for backup and a turretfactory + some turrets so we would keep the hive since it was a big chanse that the aliens would come back..
    but i had to wait like forever untill someone came and i got the TF and T's...


    while i had to wait several skulks attacked me, but luckely i survived since i was hiding and suprised them <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    then finally backup came and i got my TF and T's.. but that took a while... and i know that the comm could have something else going on somewhere, but not for so long.


    another thing i hate is when all the marines is goin on some search right away looking for resource nodes or something and i'm the only one that is left becaus i'm waiting for orders.. and even thou the commander is telling them to get back they don't.. instead they are yelling for resource thingies <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> while i'm alone back in the base having to build it up while i'm being attacked one's in a while.
    and when finally "everything" (the basics) is up and i'll get a waypoint to some other plays to build up resources or something, and when i come back i find the place with some marines just yelling for orders while there is unbuild buildings so i have to build them up too...

    god it's annoying.... someone know's of any good server that i can play on?
    i can only seem to find sucky servers.. even if some of the marines (i'm mostly a marine) are good shooters, they just can't follow orders and when they don't get their fuc.... hmg and ha they think the comm is.. all sort of thing's.


    so any good server please <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I hate when as a gorge I am trying to set up our second hive, and some **obscenity** keeps spamming "WOLF COME HEAL ME!"
    Without stating his location.

    I hate it when I am a commander, I move the base ( I do EVERY time ) right into a hive, and have no secondary base (aside from resource tower outposts) and I'm called a "Llama comm!" and am told to "Give them their hive back".

    *shudders at stupidity*

    I hate it when I am with one other person on a server, so I get Sensory chamber because that's what I like, and no-one was there, thus that's all that matters, me. Then some **obscenity** comes in yelling "WTF Newbie! Why the **** did you build sensory you moron??!" or something similar.

    *shudders at idiocy*

    Aside from that, I hate dying (except when Xenociding <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> )
