<div class="IPBDescription">Jsut read :( im miffed</div> Today on a server my friend was the commander and doing a great job of building us a grand base and we were slowly advancing towards a hive, when a guy called 'Commander' joined our team and wanted to be commander.

We said in a minute, because my friend was doing a good job and we didnt know if this guy was actually any good.

Whichever map it was we were trying to take the triad generator array and we needed everyone to take down the aliens and their structures, but 'commander' stayed at base jumping around the command module. he kept saying,

"Please let me be commander"

"I jsut want to check what you built"

"I jsut want to see where you built"

etc

My friend and myself got suspcious...its a weird thing to ask, so i told him,

"We have built bases at the Horseshoe, Station Access and going for the Triad Generator Array"

he didnt respond...

Then some aliens attacked our base and 'Commander' died. My friend, the real commander, left the module and killed the aliens whilst we all raced back to the base...but on arrival we found the player called 'commander' had seized the moment and hopped in the command module.

We asked for orders, medpacks and some more infantry portals, as we had one left. He didnt say anything, but proceeded to recycle every building we had and then change to the Aliens team and attack us.

We had nothing left but 200 resources. we tried to rebuild the abse as quickly as possible, but we never even finished the 1sr infantry portal before the aliens wiped us out.

Im pi$$ed about this, even if its quite amusing lol, but its not fair and this can be done by any disgruntled commander who leaves the game...

I just wanted to tell you about it... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

This a serious problem, if exploited and should be fixed...if it can be fixed................

    He reminds me of the black and blue lint from between your toes after a hard day at work.

    Well, I have to admit I have lost the CC for the same reason. I pop out to empty my shotgun into a few aliens that think just because there is no marines there doesn't mean there is no defence. Then I lost it too, I wasn't upset about it so I let it go and even though the guy had no clue what he was doing(first time) I didn't tell him to get out, we won... I suggest that there should be a wait time(10 minutes default maybe) when you get out of CC to the point where you can change teams, sure it would be odd and annoying in some times but people being llamas with the only thing a commander can do to get structures off marines..

    Nothing they can do about these Immature Buttplugs. We will just have to bear with these ArseSucks until they bloody well grow up or leave.

    I'd suggest playing on a server where they are more vigilant about Numbnuts such as the one you described but in the end, no server can have 24 hour Administration so we are left to deal with it.

    Tis a good game, I'm willing to deal with a couple DingleDongers inbetween action packed, ball sweating, sci-fi gaming madness.

    Hmmm maybe a time could be set for the commander to get back into his CC. For example if a commander is doing a good job but the base is being attacked by aliens, like described above, he can jump out and has about 1 minute to get back into the console. During this one minute no other player would be allowed to join the CC.

    Recycling can be done farily quickly, and theres no indication to the field marines unless they happen to be in the base at the time. Even then, it takes a few seconds to eject the comm, and during that time even more buildings can be recycled.

    The only way I can see of preventing this is to instigate a rule that if you've played commander during a round, you can't switch teams to the aliens for the duration of the round. This would remove the point of buggering the marines, and switching to get the llama win.

    So true but even if this feature is implemented the commander can still recycle everything and write: MARINE DEFENSES DOWN! GO GO GO!!! And if 5 onos charge you at this time u have no chance of winning. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Because when we got back to the base and asked for ammo and an infantry portal, after surveying the damage the aliens did...he recycled the buildings

    it took less than a minute and by that time he had joinned the other team.

    Next round there was only two aliens though, him and 'de.deviant'. Deviant left shortly afterwards cos no one would join aliens with him on.

    Teams were 5 to aliens and 6 to marines, but 3 aliens left making it 2 v 6 lol
