Me and him went Marines (oh stacks)

Mmm... random pubs ftw. Repetitive bacon for organizing nub marines is always fun.^^
Yeah, LM has become my beacon of hope (of sorts). High skill and fun players make this server/community the best around.
Has ability drastically decreased amongst the "browsers" of our server, and if so how the hell do we improve it?

It's more the NS community going to hell cause it's been in beta too long.
I should not hitting the top of the scoreboard at my skill level.

Yes, this is what I think when I find myself there as well. LET THIS BE A WARNING! if you see me (or apparently, nec) at the top of your team's scoreboard, you gotta try harder, or you are DOOOOMED!!

You know when I'm on top of the score board (especially as a non-comming rine) that my team is DEWMED!!!!!

Hey, a non sequitur - it must be tuesday and or I'm eating cerebellum flavored space.
I ended up playing on a random pub server today, after camping the LM join line for about 20 mins and not being able to get in. I went with Corvus to some server on ns_origin, not sure which server it was. Me and him went Marines (oh stacks), and he was comm. It was originally a 3vs3, but later grew to about 4vs4 (yay). The Aliens' first hive was Furnace. Our team (me, in other words) went to Comp Lab, Xenoform, Bio, capped all the left-side nodes. In the meanwhile, the Alien gorge kept building OCs right in my path - just starting them; not even trying to finish them. Each time I killed him while he was hiding behind his unbuilt OC he would complain a bit.
So, after about 10 minutes, I build a phase gate near Furnace (I can't use the word sneak up; I clearly made signs that I was there). 1 alien kept rushing me, and after I killed him about 5 times, he accused me of hacking and left. I built the phase successfully (meeting no other resistance), and Corvus dropped me and a teammate jetpacks and shotguns. My teammate and I went into the hive, started shooting it, but then he became incredibly attracted to an OC and started shooting it instead of the hive.
Despite it taking me well over 1 minute to kill the hive by myself, I met no alien resistance. I later went on to Ventilation and tried to build a phase gate there, but every possible area was filled with OCs. I died, and was given a jetpack and shotty again. I tried several times to build a phase gate, but died to a high-pinger who would never ever get hit by my pellets. He eventually died for some reason, and I finished the phase. This time, my teammate prioritized a bit better and decided to shoot the hive. Hive went down (Again with no resistance), and we went to Ventilation for the last hive. Unfortunately, the whole area was lamed up with OCs. I died, again, several more times. I could never find a safe spot to build a phase gate, and there was a skulk camping in there with cloak (sens second hive) who would always finish me off after OC fire.
At this point, the Aliens have 2 players, 1 gorge and 1 newb who always had 100 res and didn't spend it on anything except cloaking.
I couldn't convince my teammate to come with me to the hive to take it down; he was more intent on getting the DC down in Laser Drilling. Eventually, I came up with the genius idea to sit on top of the hive and shoot it down. Yay, it goes down after abotu a minute, and I die to OCs. After about 10 seconds, the hive goes up again, in ventilation. I go again, shoot the hive, get it down, die to OCs. Hive goes up again; this time, the Alien went skulk and started lagging insanely again, making it impossible to hit him.
Finally, Corvus decides to go with me to get the hive down, and instead we find the lone alien and kill him. Game over, after 30 minutes.
Summary:
- No coordination between Marines (except me and Corvus)
- No coordination between Aliens (I never saw more than 1 at a time)
- Completely unskilled Aliens (only died to lagged skulks or OCs)
- Completely unskilled Marines (couldn't kill skulks with JP and HMG)
- Res whoring aliens
- Equipment-demanding Marines (drop me a shottie! I don't care that I'm in a random vent near freaking Sewer hive on another map, drop me a damn shotty)
Sigh.
*goes back to LM*
I should never, ever leave this server again. Much better to play Minesweeper while the server is full instead of going elsewhere.
[snapback]40684[/snapback]
Yeah. I got banned on a couple of servers as an alien for "Speed Hacking" and as a marine for Aimbotting because I could see a cloaked skulk.
P.S. I really have missed playing with some of the people here. HD, Confused, Zero7, Isamil, Bob, lolfighter, mr.bill, ABS, Dark, R4C, Grillkhole, just to name a few I could think of off the top of my head....

*sniffs* You remembered me! <3
In other news. I haven't played on any other server since this server FIRST existed (Yea, that's right, way back when it was Nano-Gridlock). =3
What can I say about the skill level on this server? It's damn high for a pub server, that's for sure. Can I say I've improved playing on this server? Definitely. I've learned the basics of fading, and can fade quasi-effectively (though not anywhere close to HD, Scooter, etc). I've learned the basics of lerking (though still not anywhere close to HD or Isamil, but I can Lerk effectively in CO, strangely enough). I'm still not confident enough of my skills to venture out on other servers, so I lack experience in that department...
On a side note, however, I had my first hackusation the other day, strangely enough on LM. I was able to track a skulk with silence (with the help of MT) on ns_origin at double node. Yea, HD was there too. The guy went all: "omfg, this server is full of hackers". Nevermind the fact that I'm an admin (and I consider myself at least somewhat responsible, I haven't a clue what the rest of you think of me :()
Seeing your comments about why you <3 LunixMonster makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and reminds me as to why I still admin on this server.
On a totally unrelated note: Anyone wanna get together and just go around on random servers? Just for like a day or something? :D It'll be fun! See how many servers we can get banned from for "hacking"! XD

Sure, but we'd need to wear a spiffy 'clan' tag so we can all get bant together at the same time. omgclan ftw.
And yes, this is over 2 years (I think??) on SunnyD and LM...
[snapback]41357[/snapback]
winnar, but you needed to get a knife kill :wacko:
ONly negative, I wish we had a 24/7 HidenSeek server.
[snapback]42086[/snapback]
Someone really likes hide 'n' seek! You always want it at late night games, during reg nights, and now you want a dedicated server :D
You maniac.
But when I think about it... it would be incredibly fun. Maybe a LM fun server, running all these weird game types and maps?:D
I imagine somewhere around .01% of the NS servers out there is run with such a large and active serve admin community. It's rare because it takes a TON of work. So appreciate LM, it's a rarity.

I've seen as large and active admin groups before... but I have never seen them remain so successfully unabusive.

Sorry, I guess I should note, large, active, fair, articulate, knowledgeable[sic], open admin team.
