I was playing on ATCS yesterday, and it was like 4v4. ONE guy standing in between two turrets at the front of the entrance to the standard human base..WITH A CONSTRUCTION KIT, he wasnt building. I spawn as human and immediatley get bitten by LAVA CROFT, and then respawn again trying to run down to avoid getting bitten again, and again die..i tell the guy with the construction kit to blast the dretch..he just stands there. and then I finally manage to spawn without getting a head-shot and go an kill LAVA...to which this idiot with a construction kit just stands there looknig at me, and then proceeds to built turrets by the reactor/armory etc.

unbelievable.

I was running back to base, thank to the large round of the rifle, and I could hear *slash* *slash* *slash* right behind me. (About 10 times)

I was wtf? Especially when I didn't get any hit. So I decided to stop to see what it was : It was Rasz[PL] trying to kill me.

That base hurts my eyes as a builder. *cries*

I HAVE done the attack grangar thing before (because for some n00bish reason, I kept thinking I was a dretch... roflmao. I was going "WTF? Why isn't he getting hit by me touching him?" till he lasered me to death =( )

I don't think deconning the Reactor is a bad thing since many Human bases are simply crap (or very, very difficult to defend well) but I think I just learned something new about the OM. I'll have to think on that one more.

About Arachnid2 and building in that U-shaped tunnel. Check out the thread on good base designs (the sticky) we had a discussion about the base there, and agreed that while it's snipable (as aalmost ll bases are when aliens reach S3 anyway) it IS tight enough that a tyrant is going to either haev to kill himself to cause serious damage, or he's going to have to keep retreating often. And hopefully get cockblocked :P

Edit: I noticed Norfenstien talking about it :P WTG my master. :P

Nux: *dies laughing* oh man... that's hilarious.

My pet peeve?

As a builder, watching n00b builders think "oh cool these guns can kill the aliens!" and set about building them far away from the base.

Repeat after me: TURRETS ARE THERE TO DISCOURAGE ATTACKS NOT KILL ALIENS.

I (actually, the sad thing... the whole team) fell for the "WTF ARE YOUDOING WHY DID YOU DECON THE REACTOR?" trick before.... that was mean. =(

Non-pushing humans at stage 2 and 3. I mean, I play humans the most. CMON DUDES GO OUT THERE GODDAMNIT!

How about the time I deconned the reactor, planning to THEN jetpack up to the ledge and build the new one >.<


I remember that! =D

I think what was more n00bish was all the people complaining about reloading their energy weapons AFTER i'd explained they could just sell them and buy them again at the armoury. Or they could use the repeater that Nux had built

edit: That base is great! Why haven't I thought of that level of defence? XD

When the team consist of mostly good players and they all say "someone build" and leave the base to kill dretches and leave building to Unnamed player. Unnamed builds a crappy base but all just ignore it, maybe say that it's a bad base. When aliens hit s3 base get's destroyed in seconds. After that all good players start blaming the Unnamed because he is so noob player and should not build. The fact is, all good players were so busy to get a high kill count, that they didn't even think about building because it might keep them from getting the"über" score. Now who is more noobish, the fresh tremulous palyer or the pro who makes them to what they can't do correct (atleast usualy)?

Exactly... To those so called "pro" players I say that best player is the one who is last one alive and builder that ends up building new base wich saves all team mate's ass. I have been once nominated jesus for that... You might not earn high score but lots of respect.

One type of bug base that seems particularly popular on SST is what I like to call an egg farm.

Needless to say, it doesn't work very well.

The most *n00bish* thing? SST.

A game lasted about ten minutes because for some reason (I won't think about why to avoid a scanners-style head explosion) all 260 alien build points had been used to build a tight cluster of 26 eggs all in one corridor. Soon, there were about ten humans at each end mowing down dretches with rifles. Then there were ten humans with helmets and pulse rifles and five turrets at each end mowing dretches. Then there were ten humans in battlesuits with lucifer cannons, five turrets and two teslas at each end, still mowing dretches. Then the humans won.

n00b.

BS with chaingun backed into a corner (obviously afraid of loosing the accumulated credits)
I wallwalk over and drop onto their head
They begin frantically shooting in all directions, but won't move or look up.
They die
A BSuit killed by a dretch. (I almost feel bad for em, almost)

Painsaws who think they are immune to dretches.

Dretches rushing out of base to attempt to kill the las gun guy who always has the high kill counts who is sitting just outside base!

Staring down a flamer as an adv mara.  I rush at flamer, jump just outside of flamer range (jump just off to the side,) flamer lights up, burns self, angles up to get me (can't,) I zap them hard.  I take minor damage but heal.  Flamer turns and looks at me, waiting for me to rush again...

You get alot of artist when it comes to base building.. and I don't blame them.

It's fun to make a pretty looking base.

..but they're usually just pretty looking crap.

Well, they aren't the MOST n00bish things, but they were still funny.

- In general, when you see someone running around with a bsuit and a rifle.

- In once game on Akka, it was a 3v3 or 4v4 on Transit. Me and Maltagearion and a couple others were on humans, only alien I remember is Walker. One of the alien players says "ok decon reactor now, im ready, go go go", and of course Malta sees that and goes and decons reactor. gg. :P It wasn't really n00bish per se, just an honest mistake, but I still found it hilarious.

The most noobish thing really is people joining a game, and then going like:

"WHERE DO I BUY GUNS?"
"HOW CAN I GET BIGGER ALIEN"
"WTF WHERE I BUY AMMO"
etc.
