The Ultimate End-Game Alamo

[A Boojum Snark]

So we were on ns_caged, aliens had just got the 3rd hive, someone had sneaked off to vent and got a phase up, we then rushed and killed the hive after which we all were slaughtered.

Aliens are now down to two hives for the moment and we are alamoing in marine start. After much yelling at scooter he finally gives me a welder (apparently he wasn't paying attention to textchat :p), and after failing to get human laddered into the MS vent I get dropped a pack of mines which I get along with a fallen shotgun and work my way into the vent. At the corner I meet a skulk who promptly gets some buckshot in the face. Scooter dropps a CC just outside the vent in upper sewer which I build, I drop an IP in the vent at the vertical section, build that, and weld myself in.

Marine start had already begun to fall while I was doing this and everyone was soon respawning in our little fort. Someone mentions that greenground is out in purification station so I get in the CC through the closed vent (ogm aboos D: [but it lead to much fun >_>]) and drop green an armory followed by an obs and arms lab. My CC dies before I get around to beaconing and green wanders off and dies after awhile.

We are now locked in the vent with armor 2 and weapons 3 (aliens never did find the sekrat upgrade outpost). We hold our ground for about 10 minutes killing skulks and fades after which we begin boosting ourselves up the vent and back towards MS. All this time we had been keeping my welder alive to weld the IP. At one point near the end we alllllllmost got out into MS but were 1 player short for the ladder. Shortly after this the aliens finally figure out they can take care of us with a train of fades, of which we killed 3 or 4.

All total we lasted about 15-20 minutes I think and got around 75-80 res from the kills. All the marines were having great fun along with most of the aliens as far as I could tell given there wasn't any complaining. (*cough*except for rad*cough*:p)

Finally, pix of our fort! (game ended around the 48 min mark, these were taken somewhere in the first half of our endeavor)

1834:46 <@ABoojumSnark-PotI> READ MY DARN POST
1834:52 <@ABoojumSnark-PotI> i say in it how long we lasted
1834:53 <@ABoojumSnark-PotI> <_<
1835:20 <@ABoojumSnark-PotI> paragraph before the last is where i say

and to answer tooky's new question, i did have mines. I only used 3 getting into the vent so I layed the 4th along the big section which got a skulk kill.

[Tooky]

No mines? pfft, nub strat

EDIT: I did not edit my post

I'm afraid I must use temjin's horrid word for this situation.
tooky: you are pont, please stop trying :p

[Necrosis]

Bonus points if he'd hoovered one of you out. Devour is lethal.

[Malevolent]

We aliens did complete our task though! There is strength in numbers.

[Major Chrome]

Hooray for stupid relocates!

[rad4Christ]

Actually, I was having fun, but 15 minutes in a stalemate was getting to the point of insanity, all I did was push it along. We did end up finishing it.

[esuna]

That last stand was funny, what with that empty shotgun kicking about the vent and the welder being passed along the chain. It's ridiculous how many kills we got, i picked up about 10-15 kills alone just in that vent, i guess that's only because they didn't notice the upgrades outpost. Silly aliens.

[lolfighter]

Imagine an onos sucking on the vent like a kid sucks on the straw of a SunnyD bottle...

[CorvusX]

Fun game indeed <3

[confused!]

this was teh gaem taht esuna got boosted onto the pipe in upper sewer and we had to stack onoseses so i could eat him right?

for those of you who weren't there it took 4 onoses to catch him.

[A Boojum Snark]

No it wasn't the same game confused.

[bacon_flaps]

I was in a game with a last stand exactly like that, except we had jetpacks.  A fade came down, got injured quite a bit, and tried to escape.  Unfortunately, a lerk was blocking the exit so I flew after him and actually killed em.  Spore+Acid rocket = lewse D:

Haha, I remember that too.  The lerk wanted him to live, so we had to do it ourselves.

ABS: I think it was the same game. I know it was on caged too.

[A Boojum Snark]

Nope :p I would remember something like that, and I know there were never 4 onos in that game.

[confused!]

this was yesterday.. with yall in teh vent took us 46 minutes to clear you out...

i know because rad was supposed to slay you all at 45 minutes but team1 was not a valid player:)

im fairly certain it was becase the onos that got shot through the welded vent was i.

[A Boojum Snark]

Indeed it was you :p

(and silly rad, its admin_slayteam 1 ^_^)

Hahaha, it took 4?

You were all cloaked, i couldn't tell how many, i knew there was at least two though.

[confused!]

ther were two on the sewer side and two on the double side standing on a sensory. of which i was the top most and thus when you fled from the others you went straight down the throat.

[Redford]

You use the old HMG?  WTF?
