Just got done with an awesome game.
We were playing in hera. Game was about 8 v 8 (more or less depending on time in game).
We were aliens and managed to get our 2nd hive up. The marines were tenacious and stuck together pretty well, and destroyed one hive. We got another up, but then they destroyed another one. We managed to destroy their CC, but the told us they had another. Then, a few seconds later, I was on one end of the map headed to one of our old hives as a gorge when I got word that our last hive was under attack. Yelling insanely to "SAVE OUR HIVE", I hurried on knowing that a gorge would be useless, and evolving would take too long (I was most of the way across the map too). The hive went down and my alien compatriots were slaughtered by the merciless marines (It was 5 vs 8 in their favor by this time). I snuck in to the last hive (ventilation) and was ecstatic to find it unoccupied. However, I had only a few resources and needed to save for a while. Luckily, this wan't a 1.03b server or I would have been killed by the new auto-kill addition. I used world speak and made comments like "Yummy, A CC!" and "Ooooh - Spawn portal" hoping that they'd rush back to defend their base. It must have worked, or they must have been drunk because I managed to save enough for a hive, build it, and get some D chambers + O chambers up. As my alien team respawned, they gleefully attacked the marines. Many were ruthlessly gunned down by HMG toting marines which led us to believe they really did still have their command center. As we took a second hive though, marines began quitting and we realized the delicious truth. The marines had no CC and we had 2 hives.
Through horrible lag and dropping marines (it was 7 vs 1 in alien favor for a while, but none of us wanted to go marine and miss out on our well-earned victory) we continued and eventually won the game.
A big "Great game!" to all involved. (There was a Scythe, a Commandoman, and a bunch others whose names I don't remember.)
/me gives waffles and syrup to the entire dev team.
Thanks for the fun guys.

they might take it out who know...
I've not played in the 1.03b servs but it should be a vote that has to be passed by Aliens and Marines like 50% of marines and 40% aliens to start the auto kill timer shi t
