Stacking ISN'T a good thing....

I don't think he meant it was a good thing, or maybe he was joking.

Either way, that kind of sucks. Unfortunately, it happens.

People were behaving earlier today, but I know it happens more often than we'd like.  I personally don't feel I have the skill to balance a team out one way or the other, but I often try to help the unstacked team.  I guess I am better than when I started playing here, but I'm no Holy Devil.

But even I, benevolent as I am, sometimes get tired of anti-stacking and losing.  Times like that I join the stacked team and enjoy an easy win.

But nothing is definite.  I've seen some hard-fought games against stacked games, and plenty of non-stacked ones too.

I must admit to stacking, but of a different kind. I rarely stack with those who are skilled; as in, I join Marines because Person A is amazingly skilled. I'd usually go to a team with people whom I like - not necessarily skilled; but just those whom I enjoy playing with. Even if the other side is stronger, I'll join the one on which the players are nicer :)



I think.

Man that is bad, 4 minutes in and you dont even have a built chamber.

We did but they were knifed down :(

That is after the gorge (me) had to regorge a 2nd time as my first egg was killed by a marine in our own hive and the skulk nearby couldn`t kill him.

This picture was taken as they were taking the hive down with lmg and 1 shotgun.

To say we were boned was an understatement.

Plus evans lerked and died in first battle to ebnar, and rad only joined 1 min before the picture.

Welcome to lunixmonster.  The server where everyone is either too nub to know how to build or too good to want to build.  Which reminds me, I need to go nominate a certian regular who has a wonderful habit of dropping all three chambers as soon as the game starts every time he goes alein.

And to he rest of you.  When I yell, "who has chambers?" over the voicecom, that is not an oppertunity to ignore me, that is an oppertunity to delegate!  If you really don't want to drop upgrades you better have a reason.  Silence is NOT FRIGGING GOLDEN!


About the stack, it doesn't LOOK that bad from the playernames, but evidently a few skilled players shouldn't have overestimated some of the names on the alien team and not rushed ebnar.

and 1/4, is THAT why you always join my team if you come halfway into a game?  <3

I try to avoid you, but most of the time I end up missing your name on the team, joining it by accident :D

The stacking seems pretty bad to me. If I am correct, 2 people (including the admin) have an RS on the aliens. Four people have one on the marines. Plus the marines have an extra player. Somone said that Rad had just joined. The teams don't look even to me.

I'd love to see autoassign only enabled on the server. So F1/F2 or alien/marine portals all act as random team.

Ignore any whiners, its for the best :p

Not only that, but marines have ebnar... and vortex seems to be holding his own pretty well two, although I can't say I have ever played with him.

rines are supposed to have an extra man, rad seemed not like his usually calm collected self, he seemed angsty and un radish, hence the semi hostile reaction. Not to mention I recall alot of people leaving, and it was finished quickly.

I will pay more attention next time.

autoassign was vetoed by LB

the mva win rates says a whole lot more about server culture than that pic does. how could your 20 seconds of that game enrage you enough to make a thread of it?

Why res slotters are going towards stax more adays is getting a lil out of hand.  Just because you see alot of marines or aliens on one team with all the kills doesnt mean you should join the bandwagon and ride for the win.  I wish i could see more people Joining Against the Stax..

When joining, if i were to recognize a high rate killing team i would join the other team right away. I dont play NS to "coast" to a victory by someone else's crosshairs, i feel i have to earn my win, drop chambers when no one will or rts or hive, or run and try to get pg's for the comm, ect.


I thought this was supposed to be War, controlling and advancing as a team and not by 5 or 6 players with unimaginable kill rates.  I will and always will join the team with the least amount of players, or the team with less points and kills, for they may need help. Understandably, when its a 17 slotter full server then it doesnt really matter. However, when its 15 and below with only 6 or 8 slotters on the same team?

 <_<


TO SAY THAT STAX DONT WORK ALL THE TIME IS BS.....THE ONLY REASON IT DOESNT SOMETIMES IS BECAUSE YOU ALL BECOME CONCEDED WHEN YOUR ON A TEAM WITH WHATEVER DECISION YOU MAY HAVE...WHICH GIVES THE OTHER TEAM THE ADVANTAGE.

Why?, well if you stackers cant figure THAT out, then too bad...

now im gonna return back to my normal self, and have fun again.

When I play, I go marines, almost 99%.almost ALL THE TIME.... with exceptions

That means, more times then none, Ill lose, a lot. I may win sometimes with a stacked team, but it's not my fault as I ALWAYS go marines, :-D If its stacked, Im sorry, if it's not, Time to die..


Mind you.. if everyone played like I did... well hell no one would win.

I do too...mainly because I suck really bad at any lifeform higher than a gorge...I figure at least a hive will be more useful than me being a 10 second fade meatshield.

Post by: Goldy on April 17, 2005, 02:16:56 PM
I am a res whore and proud of it! Once I hit 50 I either drop a hive or go fade, lately I have been hiving it more because marines lose enough as it is.. tho it is quite frustrating that my hives often die before they get done.  :blush:

Anyway I justify res whoring because I believe that the best way for me to help the team is to run around and kill stuff as a skulk, and the second hive going up fast with RFK is always nice.

Whenever I'm on aliens, and I'm sure most of you hav eplayed with me already, i will 99% of the time never keep my res
When the game starts i automatically rush for an RT.
IF either i can't access an rt or I get killed en route, I will call chambers when I spawn.

The only times I will res whore is under 2 conditions:
a) the team already has chambers and rts built and I have nowhere to build my stuff
b) i join late and don't get the starting res

hopefully it eases things on us a bit, but we do try to do our part, even if silently sometimes, but for the record, I will 90% of the time be good with movement chambers  ^_^

edit:
regarding the stacking issue, I'm not too sure what I think about it, but it happens, and I'm not sure if u guys classify me under the 'stacking' category, but I do try to even the teams somewhat initially, tho I often want to play a specific side for a while mainly to practice
It does feel unfair, but what the heck, I stink and i'd take it as a point to practice.
(like trying to kill that damn quarterlerk  :angry:  )
