    I only blame the com when they go shade hive first.

    Shade first is OK. It was almost good pre-gorgeous, but it's still sort of workable now. The problem is when they go Shade>Shift, that's just stupid.

    Shade/Shift too good bro. It's the counter to Marines that have w0.

    yes, that Must be the problem... terribly insulting assumption. you'd be astonished how poorly some native english speakers write. incidentally, i am well aware that my capitalization is inconsistent at best and nonexistent at worst. i'm lazy, also, i contain multitudes.
    The alternatives were laziness, or stupidity.

    I figured "Second language" was less insulting.

    hah, tongue in cheek, I meant terribly insulting to the nonnative speakers, the comparison that is. :)

    so 1 game i go commander and we start in turbine marines in smelting. before i manage to place a harvester in chasm i have marines killing cysts there then theres obviously marines in conduit as well, i cant get my drifters out or reach either harvester sicne the marines are stomping the laiens in all engagements. so i build a shift in bae to help with eggs. Then all the alien players start complaining about saying im not expanding and they eventually eject me, no idea what they ecpect me to do when both of the 2 exits from turbine have marines in them and we dont have the res to drop another hive let alone the skulks to defend both hives.

    i left the game before seeing the inevitable conclusion but felt helpless watching aliens die left and right whilst i couldnt even claim 1 harvester.

    It's not meant to be insulting to non-native speakers, as some are able to speak/write with more fluency in English than a lot of people who have it as their mother tongue.
    It's kinda sad when some dude from Finland has a better grasp of the nuances of the English language than some guy from Texas*.

    Spelling and grammar are important(even on forums, or facebook) so that you can get your point across easier, you know, without people taking things the wrong way.

    It took a lot of effort to abuse the English language to that degree.

    Unfortunately, there will always be people like this who will blame you when you fail. Learning how to brush it off is one of the most invaluable skills a comm can have.

    The worst part about commanding is when you get unreasonable expectations from players who themselves never command.

    For example, they're getting impatient for a phase gate but you can't drop it because the infestation hasn't receded. Or they ask for medpacks/ammo in the first few minutes on a 24p server. Or they stand right beside a power node and ask you to socket it, which is really friggen fiddly unless you can drag a box over it, but the interface prioritises the marine so you have to carefully position the camera to get the best angle to avoid the marine and just get the powernode.... etc etc etc.

    played a game with you and you want to know why people like me get pissed? Because girls like you think you can get away with anything. I played a game with you once and it kind of annoys me how everybody keeps telling you "its ok, next time!". I played 3 games with you when you commanded and we lost all 3 of them... I tried to be nice about it honestly But what you basically did was try to be cute and funny towards the dudes and you weren't making great calls or decisions. I don't think you remember me but i was flaming you and talking a lot of sh!t on the mic because i was getting pissed off at the fact that you basically asked other people for advices. The funny thing is you claimed to have commanded 100 times as aliens but ask other dudes for advice just to flirt with them. I think i flipped out on you and got banned on that server.. not sure if im unbanned yet. Oh yea, we won that game because 3-4 guys were making calls and were wet over your voice. We also told you what to upgrade etc.

    ... i never needed help with commanding before i even got the game i watched youtube to know what i was doing. and with the "nickname" thing in ns2 other people can place my name. the problem is i dont flirt. the worst i do is hey guys what upgrade do u want first most of the time the answer is celerity. i have won and lost many of rounds. and i do not remember your name from any game i have played unless u as well use the nick name thing. most of the time the boys notice i'm a girl i dont tell them. they ask "are you a little boy or girl", i answer "doesn't matter either way". but they keep thinking i am a girl so they flirt act different towards me which i hate. when i was a "greenie" i use the rookie server to practice my commanding to see if the youtube videos i watched was right and so on. i never had to ask what to do and where to. i think u r confusing me with other girl of ns2... we r out there.

    I figure negative without positive reinforcement is an unbalanced approach. shouldn't criticize if I don't compliment as well.
