How To Have Fun In Ns

<div class="IPBDescription">Even when your butt is getting kicked</div> We've all been there. Game's going great, two hives secured. Almost fully upgraded. Suddenly, the aliens launch a massive counter attack on your outposts. Within minutes you've lost a hive. You fend off the attack on the other hive, but now you've got fades. You know your team isn't competen enough to fight back and win.....
<span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'> WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT DO YOU DO!?</span>

Why, you continue to have fun! Its only a game after all!

In situations like this I like to make jokes. I try to help the game atmosphere be light and comfortable. Here are some of the things I like to say:
+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

This kill of the day was brought to you by Sprite! Remember: Obey your thirst or we'll send some guy to break you legs!

Ah, Crap! I've got sand in my boot! TIME OUT!

Do you mind if I sing? I don't have a mic.

Can we take a small break? I'm hungry.

Comm, I need a Big Mac, large fries, and a large root beer at (Room) STAT!

NO! I'M SPARTUCUS!!!!

If we surrender will you let us live?
+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

    Yeah, try and sneak out while your team are getting massacred at the marine base, find a nice quiet spot. When everyone is dead but you, you've got the spotlight on you, and then you can go and do something stupid like fall from a great height and die.

    yeah once we were on nothing and gonna die, so i told the commander to just get us jetpacks. he laughed at first, but faced with obvious defeat, he thought "aww why not" so we all got them, i was the last one left cuz i hid in an elevator shaft @ spawn, then started flying around being chased -

    then i fell down a big hole and the lerk followed, i flew back up and he didnt. SPLAT the whole marine team saw it, f'ing hilarious. even funnier was when i got back to the spawn, the CC was still alive, so i build some IP's and we did it again <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->:D

    Two words. Onos Herding.

    Step 1: Type "Don't kill me, I won't shoot!"
    Step 2: Spam the marine voice thingy that say "Follow Me"
    Step 3: Continue coaxing Onoseseses to follow you using chat and marine voice
    Step 4: Run around the map singing the Dukes of Hazzard theme song. Enjoy Life!

    Optional Step 1: If you start to lose the Onos and they use Primal Scream to catch up, pretend they just activated thier nitrous and act suprised. Bonus if you change the Primal Scream .wav to screaching tires and high rpm engine sounds. Try to run said Onoses off the road.

    Optional Step 2: Convince an Onos to let you hop on his back. Ride him back to your base, with the other Onos lined up in a V formation following you, all the while screaming on voice chat "I AM THE BEASTMASTER!!!!" Pretend you can see the look of shock on the marines faces.

    Dishonorable Tactic: While leading the Onos around the map, quickly duck into a vent by a hive and try to take it out. You will have some time while the onos find another way to get to you. Attempt to take down the hive. Hide when the Onos try to kill you for decieving them. Have the rest of your team make a last ditch effort to seige the hive farthest from your location, while you occupy the onoses. If you can pull this off, not only are you a master of Onos Psychology, but you a very likely some sort of deity. If succesful, have your way with the Kharaa women.

    I was playing laser tag in Indianapolis, and 1 of the teams (there were 3) was infused with a lot of "pro" players (people with 0 life outside of laser tag, scary). When this occurred, the team with a bunch of new guys immediately begin singing and walking around. My team soon joined suit. In the end there were only 15 or so people really playing out of the 36 in the game.

    it does happen, it's just rare <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I've seen it once in NS, too, but it turned out that the marine was a skin-hacker (I know it's not a skin-hack, but it's been misnamed so often, I call it a skin-hack now to avoid confusion)

    The ole classic: "Now THAT was a kodak moment"

    And then there's those other classics. If you're winning:

    "How are you gentlemen? All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive, make your time"

    And if you're losing:

    "Somebody set up us the bomb!"

    (if you don't get the above references, go <a href='http://www.planettribes.com/allyourbase/AYB2.swf' target='_blank'>here</a> and be enlightened, you sad person <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    You could also start singing the <a href='http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/secretofspace.html' target='_blank'>The Terrible Secret of Space</a>, with altered lyrics. "We are the space Onos. We are here to protect you. We are here to protect you from the Terrible Commander of Base" <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I invent new things to call the aliens lame about. Particular favourite is the 'Snack kill'. "YOU KILLED ME WHILE I WAS EATING! THATS SO ^*&%&^*%* LAME". For added effect, use leet speak <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. Assuming none of the aliens actually take you seriously, it's great fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.
