For me, it boils down to this: I'll either spend my 25 res on an initial node, or save for the hive right away. If I notice that we're lacking nodes/chambers later on when I have the res, I build it. Usually I'm stuck as Gorge after that for a while as I don't like going Skulk when I have five res - it's half the way to a chamber. So for my second turn, I'll usually stay Gorge for extended periods. By the time this starts to get boring, and people begin going Fade/Onos around me, I consider having done my due and join in the fray instead (as a Skulk or higher evo if I have the res). Works quite well for me. I'm not the first one to go Fade/Onos usually, but I help the team, and I still get to partake in the slaughter.
i don't see a lack of gorges or any permas eather(dont flame cause i dont look or care who exacly was gorge for how long <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->) ushily in games I play it goes like this
everyone eather rushes or gorges at begining for rt then ppls take turns being gorge,so my teem ushily has 2 fattehs with alota res <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
The way I play is if I have enough to gorge and drop an rt, 3 chamber, or a hive I do it then go back to a skulk. If someone is a premagorge then I usually fallow him and protect him. The servers that I play everyone seems to take their turn being the gorge to build.
I have also had ppl tell be to build stuff when Im a gorge with no rez. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> I tell them if they would give me the rez I would. That usually shuts them up because they usually where hording for oni and knew they were being an ****.
After i run dry on res, and if there's not anything immediately pertinent (like i'm trying to get that res node i'm sitting on built up), I'll go back to skulk if i'm not serving an important team role (like a mobile healing point) for my teammates. Why? Because if i'm a skulk, i'm a lot more likely to be out there killing marines, and if i'm killing marines, i can cost them res when i tear up structures and make them drop equipment, i can get res for kills (increasing my inflow... after you've eaten 6 marines, you've made back the cost of going gorge again later in the game), and i'm a better combat unit, which makes it easier for me to help my team keep the marines pinned.
A few minutes later, rather than running around behind the front lines waiting on res, i'm up front, and have made not only enough res to regorge, but to build a couple more res towers, or a hive, or somesuch.
On truly large servers (10 a side), you can usually come up with enough people to grab your share of the res nodes reasonably early in the game. Beyond that point, NOBODY should be permagorging unless your res flow is high enough to warrant it or you've got a tactical reason to do so, because anyone who's a gorge is not only less likely to be out there hunting down and nuking marine res towers (up until bilebomb, at least <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> ), but you could be making resources for yourself (and therefore your team) faster as a skulk, in many situations.
bleh i actually dont mind gorging cus i usually end up gorging because i cant stand how other people gorge and do everything and place everything in the wrong spots,.
me- "build that here.... NO.. HERE!!!.. ahh bugger it, go back to skulk and ill gorge and do it myself <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> "
other player- "ok cool,, after than can you do this. n this. and this..... "
me- *wishing friendly fire was on about now to spit the crap outta that person*
I found on the aus pub servers some people (mostly clans) usually gorges for less than 1 minute to cap 1 res or build upgrade, then they change back and go on a killing spree and res ****. usually have to TELL them to tho,, "go cap a res now!" .
but im usually gorge from beginning to end,. at least my teams wins when i gorge 90% of the time... unless *cough* fury .aka. arael_01 *cough* decides to make 50 turret farm bases allover the place. yuour ebil fury! lol..
anyways, yeah,, i found the people will only gorge for less than 1 minute at the start,, then bugger off and go res ****.
never get thanked half the time for all the stuff ya do.. i mean after all the whinging they do youd think they would thank ya
"we need dcs here"
"i need healing"
"get the hive up"
"level 3 cara now!"
"get that level 3 mov up now!"
"whens the other hive going up?"
"put that hive up!"
... wheres the thankyous and pleases?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->? O.o
Swallow your damn ego and let the fools who won't learn lose. You'll find one of two things happen:
1. They leave. Good riddance. 2. They learn. Good job!
When they refuse to be solid team-mates, but you continually gorge and pull their rears out of the fire, even when you don't like it, all they're seeing is that they can win by playing selfishly. Do the rest of us a favor and teach them that it just ain't so.

That gets annoying, as you save up res. Even more so when it goes to:
