OK, you see it all the time.
Slash,
GTFOutta my way, blocker! from people who are miles from a fight and still charging and pouncing and slashing and chomping anything in their path, especially weaker teammates. There are even people who'll slash you in the back on the way into a fight (nice, a close range slash from a rant in the back on my first leap over the turret on my way to the arm, sweet, thanks for the retribution evos, I'd rather have succeeded in getting behind the arm, thank you, no, sorry, my bad, didn't mean to block, we both heard my basi get to low health when you slashed me, if I die to <world> now I'm screwed out of the evo....). :roll:
My other favorite is people who'd rather be Human just generally being idiots when they play as Alien, teamslashing, lazy building, granger vs. granger while lucisuit suicidenaders lurk just outside, backed up by pulsers and jetpacks. Hey, fellas, can we get a forward booster here or what? They're down to one turret, seven of them are making a final rush and 5 people are playing block-the-door, "my hallway" or let's kill the dretch when he spawns (oh wait, you can't, but isn't knockback silly?).
Oh well, if the world weren't full of idiiots we wouldn't recognize it.
Anyway, it's an unspoken subject, but what gives with the Alien v. Alien violence? The enemy is pinkskinned and wearing green. Attack them and their structures. If you want to dretch punt me, dretch punt me behind a node. If you are standing in a room with no activity that displays its name in teamchat, type Y: "
...", so we know it's all quiet in the Window Room, or the East Pump Hall or wherever. If you want the corner or the hallway, don't slash at me if I'm wallwalking - how much more out of the way can I be? Not there at all? Suggest an alternative. If you slash me and I back off, I get the message. "OK, excuse me". Don't slash me running away from a fight you had 200 regenerated hit points ago, you've healed, I only have 75 health, thanks. Get off the booster long enough for respawning teammates to get poison, if or when you can. They can better defend you that way.
Oh, and if there are more than two grangers, why is there no forward egg and booster? Get to work, green guy. Builders should work as hard or harder than attackers. Slackers.... :roll:
I believe it's also true that if you die to turrets you're not feeding, so please don't waste your time typing that to me when I am only dying to structures. Go ahead and attack, now, please. Dretches might as well do damage and die to turrets as camp forever in the hopes that some Human may wander alone without a helmet in Stage Three down that particular lonesome hallway without a pulserifle. :wink:
This After-School Special: Today's Little Rant, has been brought to you by some delicious product made from chemicals (mostly, bile).
Can we just agree that bigger Alien gets first dibs at the kill, unless you're a dretch, in which case, wade in! But maybe that rants and goons should let basis and maras by so they can earn their own evos, and perform useful functions, like taking down the Armoury in Stage Three (o rly?)...
Don't slash me in the back on my way to the Armoury, you can have the kill, you statwhore, I just want the structure, that's why I announced I'm doing basi runs... :roll:
PlayerOne is not entirely flameproof, but you'd never know it from the topics he starts :eek:
