<div class="IPBDescription">Turn on your flashlight.</div> I always try and get this going on servers I join. Basically if you see someone with their flashlight on it means they need to be welded.
SO, if yu see me running around in HA and I have my flashlight on please weld me! I was thinking maybe we could make this like a convention...if you need welding turn on flashlight. Whaddya think?

a) you glow something chronic, if i was an alien and was aware of this convention.. i'd target that marine first
b) by glowing ... you are giving away your position a fair bit
Scenerio:
HA Marine: Turns On Flashlight and wonders/looks around clumbsily*
Skulk: "oOo...free kill" and wonders in*
Gorge: "aww man...to slow for the free kill...might as well watch the stupid marine die"
POW BLAM BABABAAB! one fried frontier style skulk*
Gorge: Note to self: Try and invade a less intelligent lifeform's base next time
How about repeatedly ducking or jumping for "I need weld"?
Of course -- that's the first thing most ppl think of. There are a few disadvantages to that, though...
Other players have to look at the name that popped up and match it against all players in the room to figure out who said it.
The mic is not always reliable.
It's a needless distraction to marines in other areas.
I forget how to mess with the gamma in HL console, so I usually end up using my flashlight to see in dark places. If I need a weld and someone is nearby I usually click my flashlight on and off, and they usually get the idea.
You've got a base set up, but fades are attacking. You run up to doorway, pop a bunch of rounds off to kill the fade and then go back towards base to reload. So while you're in base with turrets to protect you you pop on yer flashlight and anyone who sees the GLOWING guy welds him.
I just hate sitting ther spamming "weld me" "need welding" "for the love of God could I get a weld" etc.
I play on fairly good servers too...Ra and lanvancouver. I dunno, SOMETHING to let other people you need a welding.
Oh ya and I don't have a mic so can't use that.
I play on Lanvancouver too. Nice server but by god I wish they would they would get rid of those damn laser-sights they added.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!?"
"HERE!"
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
"Ah."
Sredahf
The mic is not helpful at all, when a large crowd of marines are jumping around and one yells "Weld me!" All you can do is turn on the welder and hope he/she wanders in front of you. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
A) The first time I see them (except immediately after they've respawned)
B) Whenever we are so much as tickled by an errant Lerk spike
. . . whether they ask me or not.
I think that pub players are starting to weld each other more and more without having their arms twisted.
Tap, pause, tap, pause, tap, pause. Like that.
It works for welding too. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
