Anyways. Two times I have been in games where the game started, there is a skulk rush, and aliens win. My point though:
First time I was in a victory that fast by skulk rush, every other skulk but me got mowed down on the way. Uhm, what map was it... ns_nancy I think, the one where marines start in the starship "Bridge" and there's an unnamed alien hive location... Only I made it to marine base(at least noone came there). There I see a marine in the entrance building one of two turrets. I run up to him and bite him to death, even though I was in quite plain view he didn't shoot me... maybe he just thought he could finish the turret in time... anyways, after that I run around and go "woohoo no turrets!" and start biting the CC. Then a marine spawn, right next to me, and I bite him also. Appearently he's so surprised that he can't shoot <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> after which I figure out its smarter to bite their portal first. I start doing so, and the next marine to spawn is also surprised, but manage to get off a few shots. Luckily only one hit me, and I contunie biting the portal once Im done with the marine.
The next marine that spawns, is more prepared and starts firing almost immediately, and gets my hp down quite low(44 I think), but I still manage to survive and bite him in teh @$$. One more marine spawns before Im done with teh portal, one that doesnt move and is obviously typing some curses at his teammates for not getting that bloody skulk who is biting us all to death. Then I proceed to chew on the CC. The Commander gets out when I have almost destroyed it, and tries to run away... CHOMP
Then I eat teh CC up, and go to front to bite turrets while waiting for the last marine that is somewhere else in the map to die or something... Then the last dude alive comes in my view and I think that Im pretty dead since he has range and im low on hp... then, suddenly, a <b>teammate</b>(omg) comes in from the side and bites loudly, the marine dude tries pathetically to shoot him, but doesn't really stand a chance since my fellow got up close before he started, and soon...
Team two has won the game!
w00t! And I did it pretty much all by myself(bragging a little can't harm can it? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> )


The second time its a <b>team effort</b>(triple omg <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> we were aliens after all!) and its not all that much to say except that we caught them with their pants down.

The round after the one I first told about we tried again, but the marines had learned, and we got quite mowed down, with the comment "Oh no, this time you dont <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->" <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Though we won that one also, they were bad at resource capping (luckily for us aliens). Onos and fade combo is always fun... annoying that they had their infantry portal upstairs though <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    haha !

    once we skulk rushed the marine base, and killed off the marine spawn and all the marines except for the commander in his little booth.

    then we proceeded to lay siege to his booth and spam with phrases like "IM IN UR BASE KILLIN' UR D00DS".

    It was quite hilarious and both marines and aliens laughed, and exchanged pleasantries over tea and crumpets.

    On ns_eclipse, I think 2 minutes or so...a massive death rush by 7 skulks.

    I'd say, about 5 or so minutes, every alien in the game save for one (18 players, even teams) skulked and just rushed the marine start. I was the first one in and they never stood a chance. We had their spawns down and their CC dead almost immediately after. To tell the truth, I really was just hoping to delay them while our gorges beefed up the starting hive. It turned out much better. Once you know these maps, you realize that in some, the marine and alien start points are virtually wall to wall.

    lol best rush start ever...

    As aliens (not sure the map), we had rushed and won 3 times in a row. It was all fun for us, but the marines were getting a tad angry (ok, a LOT angry). So to counter our rush, they all immediately left their base, and rushed OUR hive! So, all of us skulks quickly took out their (empty) command chair, wondering where the heck all the marines went to. All of a sudden, "Hive is under attack!" comes blaring in our ears. A few "omg!" and "wtf" from the aliens, then we quickly ran back to the hive.

    Funniest part, the marines (it was 6v6, I believe) obviously didn't have enough ammo to kill the hive. So us skulks just waited outside the hive area, until all the marines had expended all their ammo, then pounced... haha, it was so much fun <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> 6 marines running around trying to knife 6 skulks. The marines weren't so angry after that, as everyone was laughing aloud on voice.

    <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> rushes rule!

    8vs8, one skulkrush (prolly 6 was rushing), victory. Took something like 0.5min - 1min.

    Rushing is an old skool technique, pretty cheap too. I remember idiots who would rush on Warcraft or Starcraft, and be all gloating like they had "<i>mad skillz</i>".
