Now, anyone who knows me knows that I am the first guy to mess around at the end of a game. When Aliens are doomed, I'll build some Defense chambers in some corner or something and hide. Hell, I have even done it in that very room the picture was taken from. Here is where the problem comes in.
The room you are seeing, Port Airlock on ns_nancy was worked on by one gorge from the first minute of the game, until the end of the game. He did not help his team, he ran straight from spawn into that room, went gorge, and began building all that stuff for the sole purpose of hiding out there at the end of the game. While we were trying to secure our first hive, he built. While we were trying to secure our second hive, he built. As we were trying to get the Marines out of Mother Interface and keep them from Sieging, he built. Basically, he cost us the match. He slowed down our other two gorges resources to the point where we couldn't keep up. Plus, if he had built all that near one of our hives, we would have had the time to go Fades and fend off the attackers. Our entire team miss Fades by LITERALLY 2 seconds. The instant the first of us got 44, our first hive went down.
Anyway, the point of this thread was to ask if anyone else has noticed end of match holdouts getting worse since the 1.03 patch?

He's the board admin, he could make it 100000000 if he wanted to with some nifty php-editing.
Besides, he wouldn't need PHP editing. Just submit an INSERT SQL query specifying his userid and the post count whatever he wanted. Personally, I'd make my post count 31337 and lock it. =)
It was first after the patch I ever saw aliens trying to hide.
In one game on tanith the marines had to build a human ladder <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> to get to the last skulk who was hiding in a vent. We were all decked out in our splendid HA suits so we couldn't just fly up.
It might be that I'm on good pubs but I haven't seen much in the way of either hiding skulks or rambos.

It would be an UPDATE query he'd use, but it would be easier to just use the admin CP built into this forum to change it.
Did you even read my post?
marines cant get every where the aliens can.....

marine + jetpack should be able to get anywhere any alien can.
Two guys were on my usual server, both were on the alien team. They went into a vent then both evolved into gorges and built a couple defensive chambers. Then they just sat in the vent the entire map sucking resources and not doing anything.
Everyone saw what they were doing and ended up hitting F4. Next round they did the same thing - I left after that.
Make it different than admin_vote_kick that everyone votes on, (because when I hear that someone on the other team is helping me win, I don't always want him to stop) make it team based. Aliens can vote out players on their own team only, ditto for marines. How's that sound?
Have you noticed anyone quickly sliding him 50 bux after the game ?
