while playing ns a couple of days ago I encountered an individual named "Dan"(I have decided not to add any clan tags).
I had just joined the server and "Dan" was commanding, now let me tell the reader that I have been playing without sound for the past 7 months, and im afraid it is going to stick that way untill I get a new comp.
I joined up as marines, and spawned in a hive we had relocated to,I geared up and seeing no one there asked the com for orders via text, there came no reply so I decided to go on a scouting run, I announced this to my team as well.
I inevitably got killed in the confusion following a skulk out of nowhere.
after dieing, I apologised for running off, I was immediatley called a "noob" and "Dan" suggested that I couldnt "shoot for ****".
I told the com that I couldnt hear a thing and to this he answeered "SUYF you noob go find a noob server".
Is this what I a veteran of three years of half life have to expect??
Anyway everyone else on the server saw him verbally assault me, and in the end "Dan" was forced to leave, as he turned out to have been an "****".
The ironic thing is that he after calling me a noob decided to go gorge on the next round and went on to building a sensory chamber first, I personally have nothing against new or unconventional strategies, but waht he did was too much for anyone else on the server.
On another cooasion, I joined a server, and on the start of a new round went comm, the first thing I did was ask the team if they wanted ro relocate, they answered with a no, so I built 2IP one Obs and an AR and mines, all if I may say so very well placed.
I then went to build another two RES.
the marines managed to get one of which up.
After tragically having to look on as two brave and good mariness got munched and seeing no one left in the base(BTW the map was eclipse) I jumped out and tried to kill off the skulks munching our tower, I got one and was killed bo the other.
after respawning I found the "new" comm dishing out crap and rcycling everything,so what happened I was called a noob comm and we lost becuase some people are goldfish when it comes to defending buildings, if anyone new reads this please defend your teams res towers to the bitter end.
Add any comments you have, hell maybe it is my fault after all <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

he can realy be nasty at times <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
The last time I just went to any old server, the com gave us a lecture on teamwork while we waited for buildings other than an IP. Skulks came, skulks ate, we lost, he blames us. Ugh.
i got a solution to that. Just ask Flayra to code in Backdoor-Admin-Access for you and a select group of others onto the server code. Someone gives ya lip, just give em a slap. That would scare the admins.
And as for the original topic, no, not a growing nastiness. Been there all the time, you just happened to pick an unlucky server.

WHAT? I can't believe my eyes! Getting flamed for trying to give us a balanced game? Gee, what's next, being flamed for trying to win? But I agree, nastiness IS slightly rampant. Still, NS has a good community in general. I rarely venture outside my favourite server now, as the regulars there (including me) will REALLY turn life sour for flamers. Results in good, clean fun for everyone. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Sometimes I have to turn off my sound or there's a lot of noise behind me, and at those times, I feel very useless to my team. I can't fight as well as usual, and I don't know where I should be going because I'm cut off from most of my team. (80% of the regulars use voice-com on the server I play on. I'm often the only "mute" on the team.)

Tbh I feel roo's is getting lamer by the day ... the stacking is abnormal ... you know from up front which team is gonna win so you try to be on that team ... I'm not saying I'm not following the trend ... but it can't be fun for anyone starting out wanting to have a nice game and then get destroyed by the ...-[RR] clan (whats your definition of a clan?) ...
most fun I've had in a while was on this other server I sometimes go on newbie proving grounds (dunno if anyone here knows it) ... anyway, the games there are highly dependant on "who's on" ... but this particular game when the round started some guy yelled "ALL GO GORGE AND RUSH THEM" ... so I figure "haha, as if he'll ever get the entire team to gorge" ... wonder over wonder they did ... so I did too ... we built movement so we wouldnt run out of healspray (adrenaline) and rushed the marine base (twas nancy) ... we didnt get there all the way and though things were looking up for us they managed to relocate to sub ... needles to say with all our res wasted we didnt win the round ... but it was hella-fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
As for the nasty people its true the clanners like rushs and the same old stuff as for me id rather get somewere like atmo and give out Jps mixed with Shotguns and GLs and no HMGs, and the noob comments come flying all over <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
As for the other day tryed to blow up a CC useing nout but mines needless to say the server crashed 3 times and we gave in lol had a little fun which seems to be rare in NS nowadays, its more get the HMGs and JPs and own/pwn the aliens.
-Comms that build four or five comm chairs right in the base, then laugh as if they'd done something brilliant.
-an entire team that spends the entire game in the base asking for hmgs and jps right from the start. Even when the base is under attack, they stand around getting ammo and begging the comm for stuff, even though four newly spawned marines could easily take out a fade if they'd just team up and rush together. I love marine, but it seems like every game I play lately goes just like that: one or two marines actually teaming up and trying to control the map, and the rest of the team getting ammo that they'l never use and begging the comm for weapons (do they think the comm wants to lose by not equipping his soldiers? Why can't they just wait until he decides they need it?)
looks like a known lamer im afraid, take pleasure in the fact this kid prolly gets his balls in a grinder when he isnt online annoying us.

lol just today in ns_bast ONE fade was attacking the base. 3 Marines just stood there around the armoury getting full ammo as he stood there swiping at the prototype lab. I was dead and in que pleading with them to shoot him.
