I have noticed a few things about the rules in combat small games. (6v6 or less)
1. Aliens are under no circumstances, allowed to evolve to anything apart from skulk and gorge. This is in keeping with the marines rules, and the marines are honourable men.
2. If an alien evolves to anything but a gorge or skulk, it should be flamed of the server and permanently banned. This is in keeping with the marines rules, and the marines are honourable men.
3. Marines are allowed to obtain jetpacks, heavy machineguns, shotguns, heavy armour, and just about anything else that will cause skulks and gorges to die incredibly easily. This is in keeping with the marines rules, and the marines are honourable men.
4. If an alien should contest the marines rights to wield weapons of skulk destruction, then said alien should be flamed. This is in keeping with the marines rules, and the marines are honourable men.
5. If an alien should contest their lack of rights to evolve to something which may hinder the marine's total and utter dominance, then they should be left to play on the server on their own. This is in keeping with the marines rules, and the marines are honourable men.
6. If an alien gets redemption, cloaking, scent of fear, third hive abilities, silence, or focus, then that alien should be flamed. This is in keeping with the marines rules, and the marines are honourable men.
7. If an alien should camp the marine spawn, ambush a marine, or in any other way use a tactic which may ensure victory, they should be flamed. This is in keeping with the marines rules, and the marines are honourable men.
8. The aliens must therefore sacrifice their abilities to win games so that the marines may win theirs. If an alien team is in keeping with these rules and manages to win, then they must be repeatedly flamed because they are hackers and use cheap tactics to win. This is in keeping with the marines rules, and the marines are honourable men.
Please go out to every server now and enforce these rules. Fly my pretties, fly!
Note: If anyone missed the reference to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar at the end of every rule, then I pity you.
Note the Second: This is entirely sarcastic. If you missed that, then I pity you.
Note the Third: If you missed the Julius Caesar references and the sarcasm, you should either go drown yourself or go into a random combat server and enforce these rules as law.

And I would complain in a server's forum, but there are far too many servers that enforce these 'unwritten' rules to merit my time.
I am however, impressed that I have not been flamed till charcoaled as a result of this post. Maybe all the people who say "OMG SIF FADE IN A SMALL GAME U (obscenity that is blocked by the swear filter)!", and "U N00BIE Y DID U LERK WE DON'T EVEN HAVE JPS" don't bother to go on the forums. Or maybe they didn't catch the sarcasm or Shakespeare references and perhaps drowned themselves as I unwittingly suggested. Such is life.

In combat the game is already favored towards aliens on most maps, so sometimes going Onos is just overkill.
Imagine the server is mostly empty and you're playing a combat map until the server fileld back up. It's 3 on 3, and the aliens have two Oni and a Focus Fade/Lerk or vice versa. Can you see any way in which a competent alien team can lose to the marines in this situation? Can you see marines actually winning more than 5% of the games if theskills are equal? Marines aren't designed to be able to kill high tier aliens one on one, and in small games the marines don't have the manpower to deal with higher lifeforms.
I guess it would be common curtesy to not go Onos or something in small games, but the two teams should work it out before hand, or it'll just resulting an even more empty server.
Advicing to flame someone?
If you are on a server with < 5 people you should consider ALL voting for a combat map, or wait, or join another server.
The whole concept is.
