What to do when your teammates are idiots

[freezway]

 What should you do when your teammates ignore your calls for help as your base is assaulted by people with mass drivers and your a dretch. Then they claim its your fault for feeding. Is a single dretch sposed to take on three people with mds? Or is he to abandon base and let the base fall. This is more of a rant than a question... But if everyone ignores the base and killwhores, what do you do if you cant defend it?

There are several possibilities:

1) endure
2) callvote kick player idiot
3) whine/grief/rant
4) ragequit

"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot- proof programs,
and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." - Rich Cook

(It applies to games as well)

Ingar forgot the most important part.
Please, next time you encounter that, do a barrel roll.

If your playing a public game with strangers and they're idiots: it's to be expected so just appreciate good teammates when they do come along but otherwise play the hero class.

If your playing with friends and they're idiots: tell them so, slap them if you can reach them, confiscate thier tremulous badge and consider you might have made some bad choices in teammates.

if everybody else seems to be an idiot and only youself seems normal, there is a slight chance that, actually, you are the one who's doing something idiotic, e.g.: the teammates are not killwhoring, they cant spawn and you, for last, spawned as a dretch (again). ;-)

it was on nano, they were goons, they could be there in 10 seconds flat.

To be honest, that wasn't their fault, we were killing their goons too.

Well, I've seen only granger evolve into a goon and promptly got killed when there was no egg.  You can probably guess how that game turned out.

Step 1: Hand out a few of these to your teammates. You wouldn't want to misjudge them, after all, and you might make a few big ones in the process...

Step 2: Go hang out on a clan server. Eventually, they may let you join and bask in the glory of their somewhat-higher-than-normal intelligence.

Only reason why I want to be in a clan is to be in a sever that has less idiots,
although some servers concentrate them!

I'll tell you what you do... (a) fight them off until teamates arrive. (b) GRANGER RUN! if your teamates are brain dead then you make alike a granger and shit out eggs all over the map. (c) Wait you automaticly get evos all you need to do is get 2/3 and you can easily handle 3 pesky massdriving bastards. All three I have personally done and for that my team surived. And if all three fail switch teams, and blow away your team in vengance.
as for killwhores I was notoriously one. Its not a killwhores fault for slautering a team. You want to stop a killwhore fix the stacking. It takes a monster to stop a monster. It also will ensure a smoother game of evo/credit dispersal.
