<div class="IPBDescription">Cheap to win/annoy,not what you think</div> **DISCLAIMER**
This post in NO WAY is dissing Aliens in any way. I love the Alien team AND Fades.

Has happened 10 times to me, 7 today alone.

Someone just waits for new round. They hop in the CC, do a little, and then when we can expand.... they spam buildings that are useless in groups. (Inf portals/turret fac) I don't mean the 2-3 for just being safe. I mean 11,12,13. Its stupid and pointless. Then they join the Aliens.

Sometimes they stay in the CC and take advantage of the fact some people don't know how to eject commander. Take time to explain how, and why to eject the person, and more damage is done.

Now you have MINIMAL resources, talkin sometimes 1, and you cant expand for a while. The Aliens have been doing it the entire time of course. Then come the newly improved, and infinitely more useful Fades. Well they have maybe 4? DAMN! That's the equiv of 16 LMG marines. It's an 8v8, you are screwed.

What's worse, and I hoped would never see, is forum members doing this.
Tabris did it in a game that made me write this post.
He got ejected, but stayed on the team, mocking us on the mic, insulting other people's voices (not mine for some reason...don't know why) and giggled like an insane school girl.

Shameful, and it makes me so angry to think people get off to this(In that they have FUN doing this and think its FUNNY) <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    How lame do you get,


    Oh well, you have to take your lumps with the HL community...
    Seems that a little less than half of them get their rocks off by cockblocking everyone else.

    Oh, and if you ever see me in a server, be sure to give me a hello
    I play as {HSN}Kotau, usually random team.

    Do you play in Shrevenet often? It's my most frequented server.

    It was less than an hour ago, and I am willing to believe you. Your posts that I have seen don't reflect on that person's attitude, either. Where did you get your name? Is it one that more than one person could use?

    In fact, I think <b>most</b> scum don't take the time to register. If you take it offensively, I am sorry, and it's the name that 3 of my friend and I saw. I knew you were a forum member, and frankly, the fact that one might do that made me even more angry.

    It has happened a lot to me, and I got fed up, so I posted. I hope you won't think low of me for my posting of your name.

    EDIT:Yeah I asked him "Don't you usually play Aliens?? I've seen you on the forums" and I got a response something like Aliens are g*ay (oh God I hope I don't get a TOS violation for that, it wasn't in an insulting manner)or something.

    Shrevenet? Ive never even set foot in the place.

    Tabris comes from a Japanese anime called neon genesis evangelion.

    I play almost constatnly at liquitopa.

    That is cruel, disgusting, evil, and downright repulsive.

    I was playing on that server but i was on the alien side but there were a lot of spawn portals in their base and the public chat the tabris guy did showed that he was a **obscenity**.

    I play under ]NSF[Legionnaired.

    I have won every game I have played as a commander all the way through, save one on eclipse, when we got rushed.

    Basicly, if you see someone under my name spamming portals, it's not me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I've seen this done before, the griefer just dropped a bunch of command consoles. Fortunately, the damage is limited, and they can be quickly ejected. Money comes back after you get a real commander, and the aliens will be quite happy to be distracted by the badly placed items. Just as well, the solution would be difficult.

    Ive seen worse... One game a player called ´´lagger`` hopped into our CC midway through a game (The old commander just having been ejected for stupidity), and started destroying as many of our buildings as he could with recycle before we ejected him. By the time we ended his rampage, he had taken out ALL the infantry portals and most structures in our base, like armory, prototype, he destroyed all but 1-2 buildings. Then the **obscenity** switched over to aliens and laughed at us while we accused him of cheating. When he claimed it wasnt cheating, it was a valid strategy, because the game allowed it, even HIS OWN TEAM (The aliens) started telling him he was a **obscenity** cheater.

    Anyhow, NS seriously needs a vote system to kick players like this from the server.

    This was discussed <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=8879' target='_blank'>here</a>. Personally, I've never encountered this but I do hope the NS team would implement something to combat this lameness (not necessarily those things suggested in that topic).

    I know you Tabris (tab) from Liquid´s server and know you are not the type to do it.
  • IcculusIcculus Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 26Members
    the building 15 of one structure thing is nasty. But to put a lighter spin on it(at least it was funny to me) I saw one guy drop probably 10 infantry portals in the room and start laughing, then a bunch of the marines start yelling at him and such, but the funny thing is the whole time they were yelling at him they were actually BUILDING the portals! hehe. Anyway, they started yelling in global chat finally and I explained how to kick him, then i had to explain to the new commander how to recycle things, needless to say they lost that game, but next game the new guy took over again and they did alright.

    I think as long as people realize taht you can kick an abusive commander VERY quickly and that you can recycle stuff for at least some compensation that the building spamming isnt too dangerous. MUCH worse is the guy that joins late game and somehow gets in the chair either by startinga kick vote and winning(god knows how) or by jumping in when a commander jumps out, then he proceeds to recycle everything in the base. Late game this is a death sentence easily. THis tactic scares me much more than the first.
