<div class="IPBDescription">/kill if being digested?</div> If I was being digested by an onos, its supposed to take me out of the game for 30 seconds before dying...


Why not just press /kill?

    1) because you are doing your team a favour, AFAIK an onos can only devour one guy at a time, so you are taking one for the team.
    2) because they are disabling it anyway <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Because you CANT press kill or goto the readyroom. The only way to stop the digestion would be to leave the server in the middle of the game. Trust me, we've tried everything.. there is simply no way to escape once you are in the belly of the beast.
    Besides.. its pretty fun to be digested.

    i was reading the news update and it made it seem like that ns was coming out in 2 days or something like that, but then i read "few more weeks". ahh what a disappointment
    but the longer it takes the better it will be <-

    this has nothing to do with the topic i just felt like rambling

    1: This has been discussed three billion times.
    2: If this were possible (unfortunately, it won't be) you're allowing the Onos that ate you to eat another marine. As long as you're still being digested by the Onos, you're stopping him from insta-killing (in effect) another marine. It's counter-intuitive, but the best thing to do is NOT kill yourself (hypothetically speaking) and wait it out. It's a bit like in TFC when you get infected by an enemy medic - the first instinct of newbies is to run to the resupply to heal up when in fact healing won't help them at all, and in their frantic running around the resupply hogging the medkits they will pass on the infection to their whole team. The best cure, although counter-intuitive, is to suicide.

    Yup.
    Whereas it might take several minutes to digest a HA(if they can be devoured anyway), one that types /kill will free up the tummy of the onos for a new HA. How nice of you to ease the load of HMGHA vs Onos.
