Nice Relocation Trick

DaStompa · February 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">annoying the commander</div> If you ever stop a relocation attempt, do not kill the extra command center, leave it (if its empty)

now, when you get the chance, make a single offence chamber within range of it.

For the next hour+ the commander will constantly have "building under attack" messages thrown at him, and will get into the habit of ignoring them. (im sure you can see how this can work to your advantage)

I agree. Marines are usually whiny noobs, and used to be whiny siege whoring noobs, and now just whine and act like noobs because they cant siege ****.

relsan · February 2003

this is an nice tactic. its just so hard sometimes to convince pub noobs to agree to stuff like this. "ME SMASH!" "ME SMASH! HAHA!"

I think it would say that the command console is under attack. Not structure.

Clan_Hunter · February 2003

that and it will dominate their spacebar jump to the console in question.

I am pretty sure it goes back and forth.

anyways, the commander was global-voicing how us "SOB ALIENS AND THIER EXPLOIT SH*T!"

well, i would assumel he was more than a little annoyed.

OOOh another nasty little trick to use against the $#@%&* marines me likes! <img src='http://users.frailart.net/killymagee/smile_lick.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

Tryon · February 2003

I must agree, this tactic works like a charm! In a practice match for my clan, the comm got off a failed rush to Port Engine Hive. Instead of having our skulks focus on the empty comm chair sitting in the hive, I built a OC a couple of feet away from it and left it at that. About five minutes later, the comm started using general chat:

"Will you PLEASE just kill the F'ing chair already?!?! This is driving me nuts!"

In addition to that, with the constant "Your base is under attack," messages, it's almost impossible for the comm to quick jump to where he/she needs. By the time the request for ammo/health has been recognised and the comm hits the jump, another message has come in and the comm is looking at the half dead chair.

Definatly a worthy tactic to use. Disctracting, irritating and painful for the marines. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

taboofires · February 2003

Lol, you're giving them a reason so send a marine out of base for the sole purpose of killing an offense chamber. So degrading, forcing your marines to act like noobs.

LOL so true its unbeliveable.

The thing is though even marines try it with WoL. Sigh....

Your so great, I love you!!!

this is definately on my to do list. I just hope I remember it when some noobler comm decides on a relocation.

(Was sooooo funny, one time, the marines had this comm who had a hardon/brain tumor, for relocation, and kept demanding/insisting/ordering that it would work. He was soooo sure of it, even after the sixth round where we killed them off in under ten minutes. Luckily for the marines someone else beat him to the comm chair, and were all like, "Hey, why are we dying, Diff comm?" to wit the old comm spouted some expletives and left the game. Suffice to say, the next few hours of gaming were pure bliss, where we had some real competition)

Oh and ive seen relocating work well, but only in some instances, otherwise its a stupid tactic, FAAAR too risky for its benefits.

A check is in the mail i hope? :-P

Obliterater · February 2003

That is so mean for the poor overstressed comm... but its a great tactic <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Dude, that's awsome <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> haha! Definetly worth remembering next time they try for relocation

porp · February 2003

Yeah, wow, jeez! This will singlehandedly win entire clan matches. You are a genius and should be immediately hired at id software.

Kiz · February 2003

And commanders everywhere collectively order five cases of asprin...

BlueGhost · February 2003

VERY Nice

Thinking about it there's nothing to stop you doing this against a turret. Won't last as long.

Infact hell if you've got a turret somewhere you want to camp as a skulk just sit there parasiting it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

iwilleatyou · February 2003

another thought to this- what if you just took out their tf, but left their turrets in their. it wouldnt be too helpful if they could build a tf near them, but it just might work on a nice isolated rt. instead of one building under attack message, three ocs could sit right inside an old turret farm and give him a constant stream!

iwilleatyou · February 2003

blast. talk about bad luck. i decided to post just before the end, i mean, who else could have possibly written my exact thoughts? *slaps self repeatedly and goes to slam head against a wall*

Raz · February 2003

I tried this on bast i believe it is, (Refinery, Engine, Feedwater) and the OC did not shoot the original comm chair at all? They relocated so we tried this trick in their original base...it wouldn't shoot the chair even though it was almost next to it! Any ideas?

Error404 · February 2003

Won't the Commander recycle the empty CC???

Sevendashseven · February 2003

You can't recycle CCs. Nice trick, I like it.
