Best Request?

StoneburgStoneburg Join Date: 2002-11-11 Member: 8174Members
What is the "best" serious requests you've gotten as COM?

I just came off a game, gave up actually, got tired of my team, the straw that broke the camels back so to speak was this:

"COM, I fell down a hole, can you get me up"


(The "hole" was one of the vents leading out of red room btw).

Earlier:

"I NEED HEALTH!" repeated 4-5 times.

A guy standing ON one of our FOUR infantry portals in base, with NO equipment and no-one else in the spawn que.

I'm thinking this game would be better as a single-player RTS <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    "COM, WELD ME" <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
    (he was other side of the map alone with HA/hmg)
    Oh, and he kept asking that about 5 minutes.
    Then he got pwned by couple skulks:
    "Com, why didn't you weld me? I asked that for several minutes !!! YOU NUB, EJECT"

    And well, then there is these other classic's:
    *Game starts*, "give me jp/hmg now !!!"

    Well one day I happened to be commander and I was building our base. I drop a few buildings at one person isn't building but saying, "com, drop a welder asap".
    I as why and he says "So I can build these structures"

    For christs sake does anyone ever read the manual?

    Most people I've spoken to online (in reference to single player games) DON'T read manuals. Hence why games like Caesar III took to rewarding players who did by putting a load of helpful strategies & tips in their readme.txt! I read them. I like them <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    My best request was while everyone else was pestering the com with requests for hmg:s after the first encounter with a fade was to ask him for family sized can of Fadeaway™.

    lol, no but when you have 400 people screwing the armoury when the phase gate elsewhere is going down, well, let's just say if they implement the blowing up structures idea, I'll be turning friendly fire ON <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Usual request when I'm comm is for the rest of the team to eject me... (I'm a good grunt but I can't comm to save my life)

    But the best I've had so far is the immortal:

    ::Aliens have 2 hives::
    Marine: COMM, gimme mines!!!

    Yea, that'll do a TON of good for us. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->


    ::Aliens have 2 hives, with 4 fades and 2 lerks pounding our base::
    Marine:: COMM, I need a shotgun!

    In this case, I just totally ignore them.


    ::Marines have 1 res tower and aprox. 0 res::
    Marine: Gimme jp/hmg comm!
    Comm: We have no res and no res towers.
    Marine: Gimme jp/hmg comm!
    Comm: Go hold some res nodes.
    Marine: nub comm.
    ***Marine has left the game.***

    That annoys me the most. Just because we have the structures doesn't mean we can necessarily afford the technology. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I refuse to comm because of those comments and horrible bugging but i was in a game and 2 people (i would think noobs) told the comm to spam cc's all over the base so when the aleins came theyd all hide

    oh heres another one and this i thought was freaking hilarious: comm build a bunker. LOL!!!!!

    One of the times that I was commanding, someone starting asking for a jp... so i dropped him one because we were swimming in res and about to win. But then, he starts asking for heavy armor and gets really angry with me. I dropped like 5 of them around him and he thought that I was trying to spite him. The whole time I was laughing my head off at the guy. Only one thing to say about that... (I won't mention it as there was a lengthy post agains using it, but I think that you all get the poing)

    On a sidenote...

    Oh and one of my friends that I play with regularly is usually alien, but when he goes marine watch out. "Commander, can I have some mines?" Once he gets them, he puts them in the oddest places that have absolutely nothing to do with defense or offense. Like on ceilings, corners, and as a comm myself, it annoys (<-- hint to who the person is) me to no end!!!! The most infuriating part of it is the number of kills he gets off of them...

    bah

    all guys like that should have a shot of comm'ing, then all the comm's who theve ever bugged can go marine and ask for stuff, see how they like it.

    comm'ing is like being a goalkeeper: if your team wins u get no gratitude, if they loose its all your fault...

    makes me cry <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
