<div class="IPBDescription">movement first...</div> I know it's probably frowned upon, probably more than frowned upon. But because the other thread became locked, and I was an admin on the server at the time, and I've been taught well by my boss, I feel the need to respond.
Ollj was not abused for dropping movement, we drop sensory/movement first occasionally. I won't claim most people don't complaign about it, they do, but we drop it anyway. I myself will join a game calling sensory first, and procede to drop sensories much to the whining of the other players.
That said, lets look at what Ollj did. We were on ns_metal, in Surface Access Hive (I believe it was surface.. have to admit I don't know the hive names too well on metal) and as soon as the round started (not minutes in as he claimed, but as soon as it started) he ran to our starting res node, Heating, and dropped a movement there. This by itself is acceptable, and even though we had people whining, theres no problem with movement first, it makes for solid skulks. The problem we had with Ollj was what he then decided to do. Instead of building the movement chamber, he started running. As soon as movement was dropped, I checked my map, and saw a gorge running away from a movement in heating. He then proceeded to to disconnect from and reconnect to the server.
We have no problem with people who drop chambers, whatever chamber it is. We have a problem with players who drop chambers then try to pretend it wasn't them. If you're going to act guilty, chances are you think you did something you shouldn't have done. And the only reason you shouldn't drop any upgrade chamber is if it is in an attempt to disrupt the team.
Oh, and we lost that game, but that's besides the point. Doesn't really matter if you win or lose, as long as you had fun. And it was a fun game.

And yet his is unchecked...
Its sad, I remember a few years back just before NS was released, I used to come to this forum and read stuff about how cool NS was going to be. on oct 31st I began my download of NS1.0 on my 56k modem
For the next year and a bit I loved the NS community and the regular players on both the BYNS servers and the YO clan servers.
Unfortunatly a while back what I consider to be a cancer was smeered(sp?) on NS fanbase. Combat was put in to allow players to get a quick fix of NS. Now I find that it is very hard to get a good game of NS because of the lack of decent commanders, or the sheer stupidity of the team.
I consider myself an 'above average' commander but I have stoped playing on public servers because of the lack of any teamwork
The NS community has to remember that it is in a <a href='http://steampowered.com/status/game_stats.html' target='_blank'>unique position</a> compaired to other MOD's, It is the biggest non-valve mod around and to stay that way it needs to be able to grow but at the same time try not to eat away at itself like I see happening alot lately.
I must admit I used to come to these forums alot a while ago, now I just check them when I have run out of other things to do. Reason: Because people bring their little problems to the boards rather than have to deal with them themselves. I mean how many 'OMG this guy cheats, demo inside' threads do there have to be before people get the idea that nothing is ever sloved by throwing it to a bunch of people who it either doesnt involve or who dont care.
Just grow up and talk to each other (IRC!) rather than feel as if the community needs to know. Remember as a whole this community is the best I know, yeh there are a few nubs about but you can always change server
PS. I like cheese
