Another not-so-embarrassing but equally funny event:
When your mouse wheel decides to scroll causing you to switch to parasite right as you engage a marine. lol. Always da bes.
I'd say that accounts for at least 20% of my skulk deaths...
I was playing as a Marine, I went to Locker Room just after there was a fight in there against a few Skulks, one of which survived and went away to hide. I crouch, I start to take out a cyst with my axe, when I notice that I just unknowingly killed a Skulk in the process. It turns out that the Skulk which fled from combat earlier had only 3 HP left, he came back and tried to surprise me, but he jumped from the ceiling into my axe and died.
The may be pushing the rules of the darwin award but... last night I had a comm try to trap me in the comm chair with him so I would die. Little did he know I can still swipe up until the thing fully closes. I kill him, blink out of the box and then out the door. Morale of the story, dont trap yourself in a confined space with a fade.
my comma there up a bone wall, slightly off, trapped me with an lmg marine, as lerk. I got rifle butt killed... as a lerk. also, ran out of bullets on a ground lerk once, and he decided to see if I would.due to his spikes before he died.to my axe... axe won.
I was a fade playing on refinery the last night. I got into this epic battle with a jetpack shotgun marine in lava falls. By epic I mean that neither one of us had died, ran away, or killed the other yet and had been trying to do this for over a minute. We both ended up falling in the lava at nearly the same time. We were both still laughing when the game ended and we got to the ready room. Best way I have ever died.
In Refinery, caught a freshly-spawned Lerk unawares from behind while he was spiking my teammates. Farcry 3 still fresh in my mind, instead of shooting I elect to pull out my Axe and get to work.
4 swipes later and the Lerk has flew off, and I turn to find 3 Skulks bearing down on me. D=
Alright, this is a bit of a ressurect. But I had to share.
Myself and another fade just took down Terminal, no beacon or anything, idk what the comm was doing. So we see an exo inbound from Courtyard and I say, let's go to Landing Pad. In landing pad we kill a lone lmg marine and I decide to try for the little vent. Lo and behold, I run out of energy right before making it in. And that, children, is why we use adrenaline as a Fade.

That's why I pretty much never use vents as a fade, adrenaline or not :P
by far the dumbest thing was when I figured I would cunningly gestate into an onos on the roof, and was teleported to the ground as an egg, planted squarely in the middle of the main entrance to the room
yeah..i have a landing pad story as well that happened to me recently...
So some Gorge sets up a tunnel on the roof above terminal. So I go there and think... well why not just evolve to Onos here on the roof...... Hit evolve..... game decides to move my egg to the slanted part of the roof where I proceed to slide down as an egg to my death.......
I have a bad habit as a fade on refinery...... In lava falls, I like to jump across walkway spans over the lava and onto the other walkway so I don't have to go through the middle powernode/rt part of lava falls.... well sometimes I forget I don't have blink and I end up falling into the lava
I personally avoid fighting in lava falls entirely as fade because of the number of times I've accidentally dodged into lava.
I've seen the best Darwin moment linked to the egg problem ... just go Onos on the floor. Save all that time climbing up high and having to 'crouch' as a skulk.
Then make myself and 5 others sweat it out whilst we health, decoy, kite, flank, kill and stare open mouthed / bewildered at the Onos that suddenly appears in the middle of a very subtle wtf fight.
Couldn't tell if it was a chick or some dudes little bro but they did it 3 times, on different maps. Always worked. But I'm sure Darwin was intently watching.
In a game a few minutes ago an onos came running out of a gorge tunnel and went right over the edge of the waterfall in cave hive on mineshaft.
ahaha i saw that, it was pretty funny. it was the most funny thing i saw in ns2 but also i feelt sorry for that onos.
For me: Moving in a gorge tunnel as marine with a mate and a gorge destroyed the tunnel, so we both died. combat: And as burning lerk fall into invisible death trigger...because of no energy to fly, i just hate lerk in ns2 with the energy needed for flying.

I think this is the real darwin award winner.
I think that was me...

Haha, I almost fell victim of that! I was quick enough to escape though.
