<b>-</b>When I see that all of the marine side except for myself show up as red
<b>-</b>When a squad of marines go out to secure a hive, and find that the only person in the game that isn't with you has died. Yeah it was a small game <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
<b>-</b>When I see some clue that a 3rd hive is up.. mostly when I see gas or a xenocide

Bwah! Great minds think alike. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
2. When the Commander doesn't give waypoints.
3. When the marines don't go to their waypoints.
4. When the aliens get 3 Hives.
5. When a lone Skulk can take out your *entire* marine force. Twice.

God I love doing that. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
The command chair is gone.
My allies go and exit the room, never to return. I hear gun-fire, screams, and inhuman sounds.
I am the only one now... alone, with these only sounds:
*click-clack* *stomp* *click-clack* *stomp* *click-clack* *stomp* *click-clack*
*stomp*</span></span>
And it ends. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

I suppose this could also be put into a "Signs of utter, resounding victory" thread:
When Benolan joins the other team. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> J/K!

So is it a bad sign when the other team votes me their MVP?
10. Commander asks why his hoverpod is not moving.
9. 'They have xenocide? Oh crap - everyone stay really close together for safety!'
8. Players spending too much time trying to rescue 'hostages with 4 legs'.
7. Waypoints-Schmaypoints!
6. Player named Pvt. Hudson joins and keeps spamming 'Game over man, GAME OVER!'
5. Alien team all named [NSGUIDES].
4. Marines busy having races to the bottom of the pits in NS_Nothing.
3. Commander named 'L337-Hippy' keeps recycling every building, asks you to place 'Earth Mother' spray paints all over level.
2. Marines discard weapons and pull out their knives to fight 'like real men'.
And the number 1 reason your Marine team will not be winning this round...
<i>1. Your HUD says 'Commander MonsieurEvil'</i>
You be suprised how well that one works on occasion inculding half an hour ago opening bottom door on hera with five skukls behind me when two marines drop from behind and knife four of us before we can blink leaving me running to chomp CC only to find the platform already rising and a marine under it
I suppose that's one of the bad things about having a "good" PT team. Seriously, how many times do you think any of the playtesters tried to destroy their own CC with mines? Or Spike their own hive to death?
2) When the team for some reason thinks it's a good idea to spend all resources defending the res node just outside our base (like horse shoe) - I start sweating.
3) When fades are defending the third hive, we only have lmgs and nothing has been researched- that's when I sense our doom.
That or when some aliens manage to break into your base and destroy all the spawn portals (these are the first things you should go after once the turret factory is down, make it so no more soldiers can spawn!) that is when you are owned.
When the commander decides to recycle all the infantry portals.
He is booted and replaced for it, he destroys the cc.
Then the admin starts asking you what the kick command is.
Then the ex-commander realises the admin doesn't know how to kick people and starts bragging about having the upper hand.
In the next round, the entire marine and most of the alien team is so caught up in calling him a n00bie ###hole, that they don't notice the few skulks who decided to stay out of it and attack.
In the next round after that (some very short rounds going on here), he gets back in the CC and refuses to build.
In the next round after that, he takes the CC and the rest of the marine team invites the aliens to come and kill him as soon as he gets booted, and to keep on killing him.
We spent five rounds getting spanked before the admin showed up and banned him.
2.) Commander has no idea where to place anything.
3.) Commander is named "NSPlayer"
4.) 50% of your team is spamming "I need a medpack! stat!" using the voice commands while lounging back in base doing nothing.
5.) The aliens have all three hives.(duh)
6.) Somebody on your team is destroying all of your structures.
7.) You spawn, and immediately find you've been parasited. You look up and there's a skulk on the ceiling and everyone's complaining that the game is bugging out because they've all been parasited.(true story)
a) you're the only one on your team
b) your commander brags about how he was so "good" back in the day
c) the marines seem to be doing the "Hokie-Pokie" in front of the alien's hive
d) your commander is actually a disgruntled chimpanzee having convulsions
e) when the aliens have Sulks and you don't even have one single building
f) when you all die
g) when your commander mistakes this game for StarCraft (him/her knowing it's not SC makes it worse)
and the worst of all:
h) WHEN SATAN BRINGS THE GIANT HAMPSTERS OF DOOM UPON YOUR DOOMED HEAD LIKE THE FESTERING DOOMED DIRT ON THE DOOMED BASE UNDER YOUR DOOMED FEET THAT ARE CONNECTED TO YOUR DOOMED BODY. FEAR THE HAMPSTERS!!!!
