<div class="IPBDescription">Getting 1 single DC in the beginning of</div> Ok do this, goto the alien join area, maybe block it with a few buddies, 1 person goes in, wait 10 seconds after match begins, then they join, reason, the first can go gorg and get around 11 - 14 farely quickly without other ppl in, you get a dc chamber in beginning at no loss, you get your 10 res when u go in (DO NOT PRESS F4 IT IS AN EXPLOIT, so i heard)

And this isn't?
hmm
ONE guy joins aliens, while another blocks everyone else from joining.
Round starts, guy gets the initial resource dump of about 12 resources, which would normally be spread around the team, for about 11-12 resources each.
Guy goes gorge, and is left with a small sum of resources, rather than being broke.
Guy in the RR joins aliens, letting everyone else join too.
No new resources have been added to the pool, and therefore it is not abusing anything, and is not cheating. Everyone else joins with their customary 10 resources each, but the initial dump, which would allow players to go gorge immediately goes to a single gorge, who can then get stuff up faster.
No new resources are added to the alien pool, and no aliens are donating to eachother. Not a cheat.
I view this as an exploit.
I look for empty resource spot, evolve & leave it on autobuild, evolve back to skulk. Yes, i'm aware that it takes awhile for the RC to pump 33 resources back, but i just used my own savings to make it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. This RC i made is going to do good in long run, besides if it gets attacked then everyone knows that marine(s) are coming.
No. Just really, really, really, really LAME.
But the resources that goes to you to get 33 res again would have gone to the gorges otherwise. Im not sure that the RC will make up the resourceloss.
Not sure on the numbers but gorge cost around 14 rp and a rc cost at least as much for a sum of 28. Thats more than a third of a hive.
If they went back,then its a bad choice to evolve to gorge and deploy a res chamber.
Otherwise its a good advice...
That's how much it costs to evolve and put up a Res Tower. It's almost half the cost of a hive, and you will no longer be giving your overflow to the gorgs. If on top of that the RT gets killed before it's made 39 res... shesh.
Usually not a very good idea.
this idea doesn't have enough merit to be called a 'strat'
-d$
ps - skulks should stay skulks until they can evolve into their 2-hive roles, lerk or fade... when a skulk evolves, he's spending everyone's money, not just his 'savings'
Just play the game the way it was meant to be played...the extra resources only give an unfair advantage where that advantage is not due.
If they went back,then its a bad choice to evolve to gorge and deploy a res chamber.

mm.. actually! the resources start to go to gorge from you when you got 33 + the normal flow from RCs goto him as well until he has 100. Well, i dont say being just a gorge to build RC isnt a bad tactic, or good in public games but its been done by some of the players and gorges dont complain about it..seems to be ok.
edit: resources dont go to pool if you die, no matter how many times.
So basically its
Either
-no carpace and marines stay in base for a few more mins
or
-Lvl 1 Carpace and marines already at 1st hive
