<div class="IPBDescription">How Do You Hump Yours?</div> Some like to walk around the armory while refilling their guns, while others will stand on top of it and hump from the missionary position, some do it alone, some do it in twos, some never do it at all. This is usually done to avoid skulk attacks, since they tend to home in on the sound of ammo thirsty marines.
So, how do you hump yours?

The reason I asked, was because the other day I was playing as a Fade, the marines had grenade launchers, I thought it would be a good tactical decision to blink to their armory and take it out. While I was crouched and slashing behind the armory protecting me from turret fire, I noticed one marine run up to the armory and instead of shooting at me, started loading up on ammo!
... I don't think I could do it while someone was watching me.

The marines had been sloppy and bad shots all game, so I went to their base and requested backup, or DCs, or hell, even OCs. I enthusiastically invited everyone to join in the fun with me over voicecom. At this point, my kill/deaths were like 12/10.
5 minutes later, I've seen no lerk, no skulk, no gorges, and no towers. Hmmm. My kill ratio was like 28/10 now. Of the 7 marines, 2 got tired of eating rockets and were in the ready room, one was still comming, and the other 4 would spawn/die over and over. I think maybe one of them slipped through my acid and ran off into the map somewhere, because he never came back or died (and he eventually killed one of the four gorges).
Anyway, this whole story isnt about the alien team not wanting to finish the game or how retarded it was to have 4 gorges. Its about the other 3 marines.
I dont know what it was, because I didnt really want to drag the game out, but wanted a fresh start... but... grrr... I couldnt help myself. I started to play with them.
I would acid rocket the armory and drop one, and then run around the room trying to get the other guy off it. TRYING to get him to fight me. One time I was standing in their base, firing rockets, letting the energy build, and firing another rocket. Slowly. Yet still they humped the armory. I'd blink up into the top area from the ladder, and fire from above. They would hump.
It seemed like no matter what I did, or the fact that there was only one of me, or that I STOOD in their freaking base, they never engaged me. I thought at this point maybe I was delirious or something. Then it happened.
One marine was milking the armory (and loading his handgun up) and another spawned. He went to the armory. He humped.
...
I was 30 feet away. I had been killing them for some 7-10 minutes now. I had killed these three at least 8 times each. And he humped.
Shortly after that, stunned, I ended the game. One of the gorges in the Ready Room yelled at me for it, because the third hive was almost done.
/me sighs softly to himself
I think some players hump because they dont know better. I think a lot of others hump because they are hopeless tools.

I like to buy the armory a few drinks first. Make a little small talk. Maybe dance a bit. Most armories like the slow dances. Maybe late, after a few clips, when the armory is all relaxed and funky - then I'll hump it.
But it has to be good for the armory too.
And I generally walk around the armoury, unless there's a bunch of other marines gang-banging it.
outa there, never to see her again <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
but yea, i had some bad relationships with some of them in the past, some games i just can`t bare to see her, i gotta order from the big chair in the sky.
I have been known to recycle the armory if they don't get off of it.

ROFLMAO!!
.. but you know what they say.. 'Treat them mean, and you keep them keen'!
I'm a one-night stand kind of person... I eat, shoot, then leave...
I fill it up if I'm going to be defending something... like a hive or a Choke point, somewhere where I don't have access to an Armory.
Only bad marines die a lot, sure most of the time the skulks rush 2-3 at a time, but that's easy to counter... 1 clip from the LMG 1 from the handgun.
Edit:
Although once they get fades I typically go with 50/100 because 90% of the time you're going to die(Unless they're a **** fade).
Alien1: Dood, ZERG!! left the building.
Alien2: *Chuckle* let's roll out.

I wont attack a outpost with a 'rine in it if I can help it so you might not be paranoid. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
But you know what they say, just because your paranoid it doesn't mean that they isn't all out to get you <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
seriously... i've whored with HMGs defending the base as skulks come loudly leaping in, loudly xenociding, loudly biting, making LOTS of LOUD noise... and the marines still cling to the armory, ignoring aliens, as if holding on for dear life.
Honestly... you don't need that extra few hundred rounds unless you're gonna go smear a hive or trash some buildings. If you're going to do that, most of the time you can either duck back through a phase to your spawn and grab ammo, or the commander might drop you a few mags if you've got the spares.
whereas if i didnt get any ammo atall after spawning i will survive for ages and run out of ammo quickly
:/
Personally I use protection whenever I hump the armory. I mean, hell, you never know where shes been...
Also did any of you ask before you humped? I think not..

Good point actually, the last armory I humped, I musta caught something, I had an itchy trigger finger for weeks afterwards.
As a marine, I try to avoid this doomsday machine as much as possible. I only take 2 extra clips for my LMG and 1 for pistol after surveying the surrounding for potential danger.
Take out the CC and then evolve into a new CC in the old ones spot...
