<div class="IPBDescription">why its **obscenity**</div> k imma gonna set the scene
i was in one of 4 marine victories i have seen all weekend (i played a lot too :\ )
we have all but one of their hives and were just starting to build siege turrets.
this guy changed teams, started a vote eject, somehow it succeded and got in the comm chair.
he then sold everything on the entire map that could be sold. He then proceded to switch back to alien, laughing the entire way. He was banned of course but that was such a stupid thing that happened.

I spent the next 15 minutes chasing a SINGLE PEASANT around the map - he would start to build a farm, cancel construction, then run off and start another one. Partially built structures count as buildings that must be destroyed, so until I could get copters and hippogryphs, I had to run around 'cleaning up' after this idiot. When I finally found and killed the peasant, he had the nerve to type "gg." I responded "yeah, gg, ###hole."
Anyway, my circuitous point is this - it's a lamer tactic, but you're not going to say "peasants can't build farms!" because of it (granted, I had my own ideas for how to keep it from happening again, but whatever). There will always be ways to exploit the system.
The best way to combat that kind of tactic is for server admins to raise the vote percentage required. 1.02 raised it from 30% to 40% by default, and from 2 to 3 votes minimum. It makes it a bit harder to llama out the commander. As is, recycling is a very useful tactic for regaining RPs if you're running low.
