<div class="IPBDescription">Your team FAILS you.</div> - When you get phase gates up, give mines, and use the mic to tell your team to put them on the ground in Hive X, not one single mine reaches Hive X. Of course, it is taken down.
- Basic: You give a nav and say the beginning plan, yet MORE THAN a few stray off.
- You lay a proto lab/arms lab in the -dark- part of your base and just realize how blind your team is - by failing to build it.
- You tell your rines to lay the mines ON THE GROUND, yet there is always one that ends up on the wall
Bonus Question: List the MIC response you like to give when someone on your team either whines for getting killed, not getting Weapon X, etc etc
My favorite answer to give when they don't get the weapon they want is 'WAH WAH WAH'

ALL THE TIME, it's like these people don't turn their sound up when playing the game. Usually when dropping mines, the person who picks them up instantly starts dropping them down.

I love this, and it happens all the time, but this is in part the commanders fault. He should always inform soldiers that something needs to be built, and waypoint the structure if it takes too long.

Unless your laying mines around buildings, there's no reason to order your marines to lay the mines on the ground, Skulks just jump over them. Some mines should be on the ground, some on the wall.
Bonus Question: The worst has to be the **** who think it's funny to play music to those who don't know how to mute players. One time however, we had a newbie who wouldn't stop screaming for weapons and help, yet wouldn't follow orders, or try to assist other soldiers. You can learn, but you have to TRY!!!

"Give me my sweater back first."
-Placing mines that a blind crippled skulk woulnd't hit
-Not building structures (yes this actaully happens)
-Me stepping out to plant mines/build and someone jumps in the chair and drops anything (especially TF)
-Guys shooting the hive when I asked them to take down the nozzle (what do you, 1 guy, think your'e gonna do with that lmg)
-Guys shooting the nozzles when I ask them to take down the hive
-When the game first starts and EVERYONE runs out of the base trying to be that one elite guy that rambos the gorge in the opening seconds
-Guy with JP killing himself to get rid of parasite
-Guys that repeatedly try to shoot through the nozzle to kill a skulk rather than rushing in close
-Guys that fall to their death with JPs
-Guys that get full 250/30 bullets, die in 30 seconds and repeat
-Guys that suicide to get rid of parasite when the spawn queue isn't empty
-Guy who decides main base doesn't need to be guarded and wanders off to pick flowers while skulks eat everything
-And there is always that one guy who couldn't hit the broad side of an onos from point blank.
-When there is more than 1 phase location and I say go through and protect the gate and they go through and stand around the one that isn't under attack
-And there are the groups where everyone builds and noone covers and they become a skulk buffet
-Guys who can't figure out why the shipping tunnel door doesn't open
-And its always fun to try to convince your marines that Cargo or Proccessing really isn't a bad place to relocate to
-People asking for things that are useless or just plain bad idea (ie mines after 2nd hive, welder so they can kill RTs faster)
-Guys who go AFK while in the middle of something important
-Guys who think the best way to deal with a fade in the vent on Caged is to keep running right under it shooting. JUST STAY OUT OF HIS LINE OF SIGHT, there is a reason the spawners and armory are at the back by the ladder
-Lvl 3 upgrades, 1000 res worth of JP/HMG/GL/Shotty and they still can't take down a hive (yes, thats 1000 res, just happened tonight)
Hera map (this one is especially idiot prone)
-guys getting stuck under the elevator at reception
-guys running all the way around to cargo when its already been opened
-guys trying very hard to open the cargo door when it hasn't been welded

I get blamed when my team sucks and plays around rather than builds one IP......
um, sorry? at least you dont claim it is a map bug and instead concede that you just cant do it, in which case i would offer to do it for you or spray the ground at the exact point you ahve to click on <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
i got in a huge argument with one comm once who claimed it simply couldnt be done and thought i was on crack, i changed to aliens and took over holo for myself and placed em both >:P
- Team takes 2-3 packs of mines I placed, and after specific repeated voicecomm instructions to place them near the buildings, they end up all at the door.
- After the initial base setup, I give the marines a waypoint and they <i>all</i> head off in the <i>exact</i> opposite direction.
- I try to HMG rush and send out 4 guys and tell them to stick together. All 4 of them manage to find 4 separate ways to go and get eaten by skulks before they kill anything.
- I try to jetpack rush but nobody is making to the hive, they just sit around base killing skulks, or clumsily fly around the map trying to kill resource towers then getting eaten, forcing me to get out and try for the hive myself. If I fail at this point (I usually get no ammo/health support even if someone fills my spot in the chair) my team is doomed, because someone else has taken comm and started building turrets.
- When I try to relocate, half the team goes, and the other half sits in marine start asking for an IP, causing the first half to get swamped and die.
Fortunately, this does not deter me from commanding a lot. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
English : "1 person build rest guard!"

Noobar : "grenader rush the fades and lmgers press f4!"
English : "take this welder and go as a team to weld that vent!"
Noobar : "take this welder to the hive and weld their res tower!"
i think you can figure out the rest. I have not yet been able to communicate well in Noobar. until then i'll only try to command when i know there are a lot English speaking players on the team.
- An entire marine group building a res node together. Worse is when it is <b>with their backs to the door.</b> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
- When a marine group of 5 can't hold a position from two skulks.
- When the marine you gave a jp/hmg to flies into the hive, then stands on the ground and shoots the hive (death immediately follows.)
- When a group of HMG/HA marines all die because none of them wanted to be the welder.
- When your team has been flubbing using jp/hmg to kill one hive for 5 minutes, you get out of the chair and kill it with one try (this has happened to me way more than it should.)
- When you have been saving res for hmg/jp, get outta the chair to build something, and some nUb hops in and spends it all on an obs and tf/turrets. Worse, they aren't even placed well. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
- When marines still ask for mines well after the fades start appearing.
- When most of the team, at the very start of the match, all type "I really don't know this map that well..."
My fav. MIC responses ever while comming:
"I don't like you. You're mean."
Not said to me, but another comm: "I don't care if we won, you're still a n00b comm."
Setup: Marines totally got their **** kicked despite full upgrades/hmg etc and I was screaming orders at them.
Marine: Dude, calm down.
Me: Calm!? I am calm!!! This is as calm as I get!!!!

(gives waypoint)
(I didn't place that RT if you're wondering)
Me: "No no no the OTHER door!!!!"
GAAAAHHH!!
And the rt on hera, you have to place it from the very right side of the holo room, just to the left of the slope. If you're not sure, select the RT then move the mouse very slowly from the very right hand side of holo room until the rt is auto placed. Works every time.

I was doing phase tactic because i knew my team was non-noob, i had sat hive and was getting fusion up. I got out to kill a skulk because some Sixpack member in my base was idling and i had to defend my base myself. I go out kill the skulk, next time i look the sixpack loser is selling my phase gate, my obs...
Some people just shouldnt be able to use the commandchair.

-When you jump out of the commchair and some random n00b jumps in, drops a TF and turrets around the armory because he was to busy humping the armory to notice the skulk eating the base.
-When you say "Place these mines all over the floor near our structures NOT ON THE ARMORY" And somehow one person ALWAYS puts a mine on the armory. So you build another armory and another mine gets placed on it. So finally you get a third armory and a fade comes along and blows the whole place to hell.
-When your in the MB in nothing and you see fades but your whole team has HMG/HA, they all say **** this and jump down the whole and the base gets slaughtered.
-You tell people to go to red room and they somehow ALWAYS end up in generator or viaduct or powersilo. I say hurry and get to red room to 3 people, they all fly off and attack the hive, so they respawn and I give them another JP, and I give them a waypoint and when they get there they say "OMG n00b comm theres a gorge here buildin stuf!.
1) We get slaughtered because no one can listen, the whole time people are yelling at me, so I welcomly offer the chair. Of course, no one has EVER taken me up on it.
2) We have a few that can listen and we get a foothold and build some tech up. Then, those who built suddenly get showered with "gifts" from above (medpacks, jetpacks, HMGs) as they ask/require them, while I send teh rest on suicide runs. Of course those same people who could not listen now demand all the goodies I lay on the team players.. you can only imagine the whining then <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

<b>Comm:</b> "Ok, the rest of you go to horse shoe to get rt."
<i>*30 secs later...*</i>
Our buildings are under attack!!
<i><b>*IP destoryed*</b></i>
<b>Incoherent player:</b> "Comm I am at Computer Core now, build RT asap!!!"
a) While a skulk munches away on a TF, a Marine stands about 5ft away building a RT with his back turned to the skulk. Finally when the TF gets to the red he sees me spamming text chat with "TURN AROUND, SKULK, TF, WASTE!!!".
b) 6 Marines in a hive, 1 Skulk runs in. Every Marine unloads a full clip into the back of his fellow team mate, then the Skulk kills them all while they try to reload. Funny as hell, I can only imagine the discourse if Friendly Fire was turned on.
Of course, sometimes the Comm isnt perfect either:
a) The comm refuses to upgrade anything even when you have 2 hives secure and 350 res, then comm manages to spend all 350 res and STILL not upgrade anything. Or, the Aliens have Fades and your comm curses at you for not being able to kill them with lvl 0 weapons and armor.
b) Marine: Ok, im near siegable spot at hive!
Comm: *drops RT*
Marine: NEED A PG!
Comm: *Drops a TF + Turrets*
Marine: THEY KNOW IM HERE, NEED A PG.
Comm: Build the TF you noob.
Marine: darnit gimme a *chomp chomp*
50 res down the drain.
----
Yes, I have had all of the above happen to me before. Although most Comms seem to have started to realize that a PG really helps when its 1 guy with a clip of ammo left standing next to the hive. I won't even mention the Comms who won't drop PGs at all <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
The end result? I simply sold everything and sat in chair until I quit/got kicked. Truth be told, I should've spent the 100 res and laid 3 comm chairs at each hive (1 at each).
Marines that unload all of their ammo, including pistol, into a teammate just for fun or for the sake of some stupid grudge against the other player. Then, asks the comm for more ammo, as if he's in on the jerk's master plan. I see people ask for ammo in dumb situations often enough (like standing next to an armory or phase), but this really takes the cake.
They will ALWAYS be about half the team going to the room right of marine spawn without exit going WTH? im lost.
Map:- ns_hera
The first comm calls a relocation to holo room. Ok, I'm cool with that.
/me trots over to holo room
We manage to get holo room up and everything is looking peachy. I end up in the comm chair for some reason, and get told to stay in it, then we put up a phase and tf just outside archiving. Things are going pretty good so far. Upgrade armour, get motion tracking.
The aliens have data core hive and I think to myself..hmmm..we could build a tf just outside holo, just as you enter the processing area. Its not far to walk and surely the team can cope with this, just walk out the right hand corridoor and step two steps into processing and bingo! (I was purposely avoiding going the whole hog and building at the double siege location, I thought I would play fair with the aliens.). Firstly I had to bring the team back from every corner of the map. They seemed to delight in splitting to the four winds. Heaps of them ask for waypoints, so I oblige and waypoint them all to the postion I want the TF built. Upgrade weapons. Motion tracking kicks in. When I have a three marines in postion I drop the TF. All three procede to build it and get of course get swarmed by one or two skulks. I am screaming for reinforcements at the TF, I glance at holo room and of course three of them are humping the armoury, one is still screaming for waypoint. I drag select all the armoury humpers and get them to the TF spot, a couple more spawn in and run over. I have probably 5-6 marines there now, I drop the TF (again) and 3 of them go in to build and the skulks hit again. We barely manage to survie this rush, and I start to drop sentry guns. I glance back at holo and they are all humping the armoury again. "Don't get ammo! Get to the TF!", I scream. The run out to the TF and all get eaten by skulks. By this time, they seem to be gettting the idea of moving quickly to the TF. I upgrade weapons again to try and assist them with shooting the skulks. This time my entire team heads for the TF and they ALL get wiped out by skulks AGAIN! I thinking "FFS..the entire team cannot defend ONE TURRET FACTORY." I then proceeded to watch successive wave after wave of marines die attempting to build a single siege gun at this location, but alas it was all to late when the siege fun finally kicked in. The fades come around the corner and the whole team starts armoury humping again, while I am desperately trying to ping the hive to kill it. I manage to score a fade kill with the siege gun, but before long the fades have ripped the TF apart. The emotional energy expended trying to get the team to defend this ONE SINGLE BUILD was too much for me. I jumped out of the comm chair and left to join the U.S. server, and find some sanity amongst good team players.
this was a little more than a month ago - we relocated to processing <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> but sloppily
the aliens were onto us and with the large amount of clanners on the server, on both teams, were successfully rushing us
the IPs were almost gone; the whole team was dead, maybe we had 3, maybe 4 respawns left before gg
so I jump in the chair and distressed, and all the wanna be clanners on both teams as well as a good amount of clanners were like WTH? and lol, he distressed
I instantly knew why none of the clans were in the top ten*
*After distressing, we could either 1] relocate or 2] run back and save the base. If I had not done so all those b*tchers and whiners would have STAYED dead and game would be over in 10 secs, as the IPs were about to go and I would have to jump out and kill the whole alien team with my uber h4x
---
Incidentally, another time it was originally a small and quiet game so I started out comming. I have little experience comming and the aliens eventually managed 3 hives. Now it is in the wake of this 3 hiveness that we begin our story, with the failure a few seconds ago of our last best push against a hive - to onos. This is quite a shock as until now the aliens have all been skulk, lerk or gorge.
So taking a bet, I drop a pack of mines. The nubbies (maybe they were tired) go WTH, and he's a noob minelayer!, (me >_<) but nonetheless they deign to lay the mines.. in the wrong places (me o.O)
On cue an onos charges in and misses all the mines. When we chase him back out I drop another pack. Again some dude randomly puts them on the floor (me >_<). This time though the mine spam is too great and when the onos comes back he hits about 3 mines. Whoop-de-doo. But it showed I was right <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

I just have to say that it IS possible for both marines and aliens to have both rts in holo. You just have to build the second one far to the right if you are comming. Search if you want further info.
-JaG
b) marines jump into eachother's line of fire and 1 skulk kills all 7. Wonderful.
