there is one more stage of comm emotion... i have experienced it only once.. but once is more then enough for me.... the dreaded <span style='color:gray'>COMMAPATHY</span>
a few months ago, during a 2.01 game in NS_mineshaft i was surrounded by a noob team, they managed to avoid the noob aliens for most of the game, by some miracle the aliens forgot to attack our resource towers, and i managed to tech the whole tree... lev three guns. lev three armor.. motion tracking. hmg's gl's shotguns you name it. i also managed to outfit my whole 8 player team with heavy equipment.
5 minutes later, the team is outside of drill acces hive, in u-turn, building about 10 turrets, a couple seiges and whatnot. im in a state of disbeleif that we managed to win this.... i was thinking a little pre-maturely. because wouldnt you know it. they all die to skulks and fades.. i kept giving them heavy equipment, time after time, and they kept dying... so much idiots dying..... i was paralyzed. and disbeleiving.
i spent 500 res on them. and when the onos/fades are chomping out of base, i drop a shotgun and hop out of cc,and manage to kill 2 fades before they ate melessen learned? join alien team more often.
You've commed 5 straight games, the first two of which were close. The 3 after, all the regulars on the pub refuse to go aliens anymire (so long as you go comm again). You start issuing orders in a bored voice, marines seem to win every encounter, and the score comes to like 3:1 or 2:1 K:D rine:alien. You drone on, the marines listen to you without you even really having to do things.
If you play a feel more games, you kinda feel unncessary, as all you do is press buttons and click locations, dropping things where and when needed.
Then you go aliens, and all of a sudden the game is fun again =p.

ahhh, the commander, the one class that probably goes through the most emotions during a game... or even a series of games. you know, you just had 2 or more victories in a row, you are just cruising in happy land, or what i refer to as <span style='color:yellow'>COMM HIGH</span>.
but then the next day, you get in the cc, and can't do anything right. pain all around. rines not listening, strats not working out, aliens getting 3 hives by 10 minutes... this often pushes many commes into <span style='color:orange'>COMMOPHOBIA</span>. ahh, yes. commophobia, who hasn't had a nice bout of this? nothing but the most vet team can push a commander to take the chair of pain after a strong bout of commophobia <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
so then you do take the cc, renewed vigor to plan like Sun Tzu, strategize like Patton. but... then, for some reason, the rines won't listen!! they demand weapons before going anywhere!! anger.. rising, till you get that wonderful emotion called <span style='color:red'>COMMRAGE</span>. the state in which yelling and berating is required to get the men to their waypoints. almost every server admin is goes pretty easy on a commander who has been pushed into COMMRAGE!! and it can be surprisingly effective, especially when your entire team is ramboing. and seem to have clan tags on.. but.. not NS clan tags.. :O (JK!)

AND you feel GOD, why? cause in 5 mins you have every rez node on the map, except the only alian hive. And all of them are shooting bolts of electrisity. Someone shouts out fade. but before you even realize it its down, cause you also have mines and shotguns already pass out. You then turret farm every rez node on the map, and give them a phase gate too, just in case. You then seige the final hive with a 21 siege cannon salute. And the server Admin slays you in frustration cause hes on the alian team. You also end the game with 500+ recorses in reserve

it's incredibly bizaare how you remember things you learned in grade 5 Social Studies.... 17 years ago... eep.
Now, the brand new <span style='color:yellow'>COMMBEWILDERED</span>, where the influx of new players due to the public beta causes unrealistic expectations of your marines. You're on a server where you've been playing for months, and can rely on your grunts there. Then, all of a sudden, 8/9 of your marines have only played combat maps before!
Example: I jumped in the commchair on ns_mineshart the other day, checked and found they had Sewer hive, and shouted "Quick! Relocate to Refinery! (waypoint given) Move to the waypoint! Go! Go!" only to have my entire team shouting back "WTH AREN'T YOU GOING TO BUILD AT BASE?!!?!". Only ONE person on the team of 10 people had even heard of the concept of relocation before, and by the time he made it there and built the IP it was too late, as he had no cover. Seems all the vets were on the aliens and they had a good laugh at us, "nice relocate noobs!"

But there other funny things you can do.

Buggy - it's funny but it's true. The first time I commed in 3.0, I wasn't expecting the pure noobiness of the team, I mean about half had never played NS at all before. I'd gotten used to taking a somewhat hands-off approach when comming, and relying more on general voice instructions than anything else. However, they wanted specific waypoints the whole time, and get this - THEY STUCK TOGETHER AND ACTED AS A TEAM. I was shocked how well I did that game with such noobs... brought a bit of a tear to my eye. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Although of course it hasn't all been good, like the games I've played where people ask for JPs and heavy weapons on every spawn, and literally get **** at you when you tell them no, even 3 minutes into the round. Even then, I think I've won about 14/15 games comming so far, so the balance is definitely in favor of the marines (it's not just bad alien teams). It's getting better though as of beta 3, and 3 hives is as awesome as it used to be now.
hello my names ZiGGY^ ive been commphobic for about 8 months now, Im not getting back in that chair. But ive never suffered from commrage, I talk like that anyway in a rather apathetic british way.
A new definition for <span style='color:red'>COMMAPATHY</span> When you feel detached from the game. Your Marines are screaming for help as onos charget through base, yet yuo just shrug noncomittally and wonder if anyone will grab you a res tower so you can set off another one of those heavy trains.

I command the pubs by the 2 out of 3 basics that I learned in the army: bitching, threatening and making unfulfilled promises (okay, for those that haven't been in hte finnish army, it's an inside joke). Surprisingly first two work perfectly in NS if you have a mic, are fluent in english and have an impressive voice (read: you're not a teenager anymore).
