<div class="IPBDescription">Please don't be ego maniacs</div> I really hate playing a game as a marine only to have a commander that insults and abuses. Even if they are doing a good job it is no fun to be treated like crap. So commanders please check your egos at the comm station and remember that it is just a game.

I only see commanders get **obscenity** if:
1) They're idiots to begin with (ie: argues a lot, doesn't know strategy works) (okay it is the commander if this one happends).. don't confuse this with newbies..
2) if marines arn't going to waypoints, building. One game ended within a minute. while in the ready room (I was on aliens) their commander said something like "good job standing around and not building the infantry portals"... which is reason enough to be **obscenity** because you can't build anything without them :/
3) something to do with the game itself.. such as a bug (Turrets sinking into ground).. or possibly changes in patches (One guy built a siege in Eclipse and asked why it wouldn't fire...) we told him the siege range was reduced, and that's why it wasn't hitting the hive. we also told him that the marines had to look at the structures.. he got **obscenity** because he spent all these resources for a TF (Upgraded), Turrets, and a siege... and they got fades because we couldn't secure the hive :/
TIP: DON'T yell at a newbie commander.. this one guy just got into the chair, and everybody was saying to eject him.. a few people (including me and one of the dev guys) said that it would be cool if he learned.. he never got ejected, but he did pretty damn well... he said he would accept suggestions, etc... at one point in the game, i told him to click the turret factory and click the icon to upgrade it, so we could build a siege, and he said alright, and after that, "thanks for not yelling at me"

Oh well! iTs Christmas!
* Marines telling you what to do (take the COM chair ffs)
* Marines with LMG only standing in base asking for health (just die and re-spawn)
* Marines yelling for HMG/HA/GL (no comment)
* Marines refusing to go to waypoints/build structers
* etc etc etc...
Kind of odd that people actually want to be COM.
rcon kick moron
it's great to play on a server where you have admin priviledges. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
-After ordering everybody in base to move to a position, a newb asks where it is. I usually say "Follow the big group moving out numbnuts." It's common sense!
-A start-Rambo (someone who charges off as soon as the game starts), who get scratched, and screams for a medpack. Sod off, I've got more important things to worry about.
-Someone using voice com/text to ask for health/ammo, but not giving me their location. Either use the command menu, or die with dignity twonk face. I can't babysit every marine, I'm concentrating on more important matters.
-Marines asking for HMG/HA/GL etc, when it's quite obvious that I haven't got the buildings needed to make those things. Get into the fight limpdick.
i'm not a comm and haven't even tryied it.. well, atlesat not in a real game, only with the bots, but just for a short while since the boots was all screwed up and didn't do what i said...
well anyway... to the quote.
another thing that is really annoying even thou im' not a comm is that there is so many idiots asking for so much when you don't have the rez..
and when they don't get them they are starting to call the comm for **obscenity**, idiot, moron etc...
and then they are just standing there and waiting for rez or as the quote that you build the building etc.. and not doing a **obscenity** untill they get what they want...
a thing that happend to me 23th december was that some idiot named dracgon i think it was was commanding and some guy's had taken one of the hives... think it was maintence.. not sure of the name. and he asked for backup so i went there and he had managed to keep some skulk away from there and a little after me a 3rd marine came...
there wasn't any aliens coming.. dunno what they did, but they wasn't there... but we keepts saying that he should build a TF and some turrets and stuff to secure the hive asap...w ich was when he got rez for it... but as soon as the rez came in they disapeard so we keept telling him to secure the hive... but the same thing happend again and again so i asked what the rez went to and i got an answer from another marine that was in base that he keept making turrets in base and other stuff...
wtf is more important then securing a hive if you can and have the rez for it...
ohh... he was so nice that he gave us a medpack.. offcourse no one needed it but anyway <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
after a while he got ejected and some other marine jumped in and gave us our tf and some turrets and a ip etc...
but then they had already fades and we hadn't got the time to build up any much.. like 2 or 3 turrets then we died so we had to get there ASAP, but the ip wasn't up yet.. we managed to go there before it was all destroyed, but some fades got there again and destroyed everything.... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
if they wanted health i gave it to them. weapons? i gave it to them. phase gate, siege? i gave it to them. mostly they asked for health. next they mostly asked for weapons. and every so often one of them wanted to cap a resource nozzle and the like. i gave them everything they wanted until i ran out of resources at which point i said "im sorry but we have 0 resources. see the console?"
we lost horribly but they didn't kick me because i gave them everything that they wanted lol. they didn't even realize that we were losing until the fades had already destroyed half the marine start and the onos finally showed up. it just goes to show that if you don't have good field commanders you are lost because they are the only ones on the same page as you.
well, if they are running around like mad over a big space, it might not be so good, but you can always drop some medpacks on the floor since you can see them + you hear the drop
