<div class="IPBDescription">total anarchy.. commanderless.. mayhem..</div> This is probably the most fun game of NS I've played since it came out. I have an illustrated story to go with it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Original images were 1280 x 960 since that's what I play at, but I shrunk them for size.
I join a server at the end of the game when the marines, as usual, have nothing but what's left at the base and the aliens have three hives. Quite typical after the patch... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> Well, three smartasses decide to hide from the aliens to prolong the round. They grab jetpacks and fly up under the elevator shaft and <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/1.jpg' target='_blank'>perch themselves on a ledge</a>, where they <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/2.jpg' target='_blank'>cannot be seen from the outside</a>. The aliens, puzzled, proclaim the missing marines and set off to find them. In an attempt to throw off the aliens, the three jokers lie and tell them that they're out <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/3.jpg' target='_blank'>looking for them and destroying their hives</a>. They buy this for a little while, but get frustrated and rampage what's left of the base. A lerk flys into the hiding spot and the campers kill it. Their cover blown, they run. One guy gets away while another is killed and hides in the other shaft <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/4.jpg' target='_blank'>as an unsuspecting Onos fails to look up at the ceiling</a>. Eventually, all three are killed and prepare for revenge.
Same teams again on the next map. One guy decides to be commander and <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/5.jpg' target='_blank'>spawn seven infantry spawn points</a>. The sane people wonder what the hell is going on, but the other guys know better. They don't want to build, they just want to cause mayhem. They eject any commander who tried to build, including myself. Pretty soon we were all banned from the command center, so staying alive was hard. Pretty soon, the mayhem starts and the <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/6.jpg' target='_blank'>Skulk rush falls upon them in a raging fury</a>. Quality_Control can be <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/7.jpg' target='_blank'>seen here fighting off Skulks</a>, he's joined by a teammate .eskinol and <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/8.jpg' target='_blank'>they unload their LMGs at the intruders</a>. Unfortunately, they fail miserably <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/9.jpg' target='_blank'>and are slain by the ferocious creatures</a>. To add insult to injury, a remaining Skulk begins <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/10.jpg' target='_blank'>chomping on the head of the commander in the command center</a>. Valiantly, the commander exits the command center to fight off the remaining Skulks, only to be <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/11.jpg' target='_blank'>devoured by the awaiting predators</a>. Soon after, we were all <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/12.jpg' target='_blank'>fighting for commander</a> and we wised up and our "strategy" finally started working. With our 50 armor, LMG with 50 rounds and one extra magazine, we managed to fight off a wave of Skulk rushes. We were elated, until we realized there would be another wave coming. All of us except one had exhausted all our LMG and pistol rounds... all we had were knives. The second Skulk rush came with a fury, and <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/13.jpg' target='_blank'>we defended our base with knives</a>, to the death. Some of us even got some knife kills on the quick little dudes, but most of us were laughing too hard to even care... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
That's my story. It was probably the best time I've had playing this game. I got a lot of laughs out of it. If any of you guys that played in that game read this, mad props to anarchy. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> Let's play again sometime.
I got a link to the demo of the second part of the story <a href='http://www.planetfortress.com/dfa/ns/lol.zip' target='_blank'>here</a>, it's 1.7 meg.
Enjoy. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I love doing Alamos. Some guys and I had a good one going, until some **obscenity** **obscenity** decided to take out our prototype lab, some turrets and our CC. And you know why he did it?
Because "We are going to lose anyways."
Omg..I wish I had his IP just screw over his pc. Got his WonID though.
Instead of being an **obscenity** and destroying everything, about going to the opposing team or FIND A DIFF GAME you **obscenity**.
Okay..venting done..good thing for filters.
aliens are way too strong now, specially fades, 2 hit kill acid rockets...wow what fun <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
I especially liked it when I chomped you. Wait.. I didn't. I got shot before I got within 5 feet of a marine..
I'd have to agree, I think many aliens were saying "losing as it often happens in this game" when the game first came out. The unlimited resources really messed the aliens up causing many unique and interresting strategies to be created in order for the aliens to hold their own against HA and HMG'd marines who were popping out of their base like pez.
oh yeah, the lerk we didnt do anything to, a skulk came in cause he heard the taunt, looked up, and ran at us but blacky poped him with a shotgun, then i ran to the other side, and the other 2 guys got killed and i got pwnd by a poison cloud.
