Funniest thing ever...
Map was ns_caged
I joined a server and there were just 4 of us - the other 3 were all clan members (I will spare them the embarrassment by not mentioning their name). They auto joined me into the marines and all three of them went aliens.
I rolled my eyes but didn’t say anything. I didn’t care. I just wanted to play.
One of them accidentally said to all “Lets all go gorge and each go take a hive so we can get Onos really fast and kill this noob” – Once again I rolled my eyes and kept quiet.
First thing I did was drop a Comm Chair in Generator – I figured if I was going to lose I was going to go down without them having Onos.
I got there and CRAP it was their main hive. So I built the comm chair anyways. I immediately dropped a TF – built it. Then upgraded it to Siege – dropped 3 Turrets.
I built all three turrets to solid green but did not activate them. If I had they would have started firing on the hive and given away my position. I waited, waited, waited and FINALLY could afford to drop a siege.
I built the siege, and then activated all three turrets. The hive was getting nailed. It was the FUNNIEST thing I ever saw watching three gorges come running around the corner thinking it was just me with an LMG. My turrets wiped them out before they could do anything.
BEST thing of all whenever they spawned the siege would take them out.
I won the game in less than five minutes. They immediately started to spam the chat telling me how cheap I was and that I must be using hacks.
I was then banned.
It was the best time I have ever had in a game. :-D

That's ok, I think it's hillarious.
well we did win n the end, but it took a lot of work, we had to basically work up from scratch when the aliens had fades.
Clan members think their only way of playing is the best way.
It never fails when I am comm - it is always people in a clan who never listen and do whatever the hell they want. Ultimately costing us the victory and guess who gets blamed for the loss? Oh yea, the comm.
GET BACK TO RECODING HL BC!

One game as Marines our commander was a complete n00b, a few of us tried to help him but it was a crowded server so he ended up getting ejected. Someone else hopped in and commed for a few minutes with little success, and was ejected too. At this point we had two IPs and an armory, and the aliens were probably working on their third resource tower, maybe a hive if they were lucky.
[r0x0r]LeeTm0f0H4x4rMaN (not his real name, although it wouldn't surprise me to see someone with this one) hops in the chair and decides that to recycle our IPs and Armory BECAUSE APPARENTLY WE HAVE NO CHANCE OF WINNING, a point he won't stop loudly making very clear to the whole team. Shortly afterward he gets ejected too, and in between Carapaced Skulk and Lerk rushes someone (who I recall NOT having a clan tag, <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> ) gets in the chair and manages to rebuild the base and get it mined up. The aliens don't have Hive 2 up yet, so we're safe to go res towering for the moment.
I'll spare the details of what ended up being a fairly average game, but in the end we DID lose - to an alien team with three hives managing to slip their way past fully upgraded HA/HMGs to nibble our IP before we could stop them.

Nice generalization, now is it ok for me to say that pubbers have no talent and rip their strategies from clans? No, because thats generalizing, I'm tired of people blaming clan scene for their losses, blame the individual clan (or YOURSELF, if you have merrit) not the whole scene.
Also is it ok for people to bash clans and not have clans bash the casual players? I would like to get the rules straight.
They banned you because it was a true humiliation <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
On another note: Curses!!

Of course, I think the orginal poster's point (and the one I got) was that you will often see clan people who have forgotten that they are on pubs and expect a certain tactic to work. Well, pubs may not be organized, but you can bet you will get surprised. I tend to have more fun on a public server because the idea is to have fune, not win at all costs, though you do get a few @$@#$ players.
Reminds me of my old Starcraft days when pubbies would try a "backstab" (where you get in a 2v2 and your ally switches sides halfway through the game)... and I'd spank them all down like the misbehaving children they were.
There are many different kind of players... here are 6.
<i>
1) The skill-less, clueless pubber
2) The competent, team-playing, open-minded pubber
3) The "OMF j00 nub I pwn j00" pubber
4) The skill-less, clueless clanner
5) The competent, team-playing, open-minded clanner
6) The "j00 nubs r sux0r, g0 g3+ sum sk1llz" clanner
</i>
There are also Rambo and griefer variants of each.
What does this show us? Clanners and pubbers are made up of the SAME KINDS OF PEOPLE... just in different proportions. #4 is probably much less common than #1, while #5 is probably more common.
The most common generalizations seem to be that all pubbers are 1s, and all clanners are 6s. Neither is true; please don't make generalizations like this. It's ok to talk about clueless players, and it's ok to talk about overlording, I-am-your-god players... but when you start attaching tags as representative of a class, that's a lot less cool.
-edit-
Oh, here are two more types:
<i>7) The benevolent moderator
8) The nazi moderator</i>

I just assumed one was capping res and the others were there to help build them faster. really couldnt tell you though.
Agreed. My point was that regardless of *what* the alien teammembers were (clan or pub), they were foolish, and got own3d. ^^
