Tell about all the sneaky/clever things you've done in a game.
Mine:
I'm sitting in a vent in the four-vent room of co_angst... or maybe is was co_daimos... whatever.
Anyway, its just me and a Marine. Only my vent grating has been broken, all others are intact. Anyway, he is waiting for me outside, and I'm waiting for him inside. We just sit there for a few seconds. Then, I get my idea. I switch to Parasite, and shoot a vent across the room. He sees/hears it break, turns on his flashlight, and starts slowly moving in, looking in that direction.
Next thing he knows, he's got a Skulk eating his leg.

We still lost but it was great fun!
2.01 ns_eclipse a fade was attacking marine base and blinking out again. I tracked down his spot where he'd regen/metab and waited for him to come back after an attack run. Knifed him <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
General sneaky stuff like getting into a hive and getting a phase up (often directly underneath <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->) I've done too many times to count (although not since 3.0 came out).
Yes it was a goof off round where aliens had infinte res and they won anyways.
The best one? Well....I was going to be AFK and we were playing caged. So I hid underneath the hole under hive area, and when I came back, the aliens had a full-fledged base there. Needless to say, I jumped up, ask the comm to drop a TF and sieges <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

rofl. Best so far.
Mine:
1 on 1 game on our clan server, so I made things more interesting and fiddled with server config. We had -ve friction, huge air accel, and low grav. I "slid" to the hive and floaty-knifed it.
It slowly moved away... :S
For some reason -ve friction + some other setting (air accel? :s) Allows you to push buildings around... was hilarious... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
tought me lots about the game and how to not only abuse the game but stop people abuseing it by editing the cfg's and setting fair rates, the rest was sitting back and watching there true lack of ablity show through ohh and haveing a good luff while we were at it on vent . Id give a nice fat list of the abusers but im not that new so dont ask.
And on an other game in an other map I sneaked to a hive and killed an onos egg. Later in the same game I did the same thing, but that time I killed a gorge and a fade egg
Either the time on a NS_map - I was alien, we had 3 hives and marines turtled in MS, a GL was spamming grens to keep out the onos and fades - I was in a vent as a cloaked skulk...I snuck up the wall and across the ceiling a dropped on the GL'er..kill him and snuck away in the confusion, then to add insult to injury I ceiling walked to above the CC/TF/Armoury mess and dropped and xeno'd.
OR
In a CO_map - as marines we were getting nailed by a horde of fades, as fast as the died they would be back...but this particular fade was annoyed with ME....because I stood on a mine hiding it from the fades view and jumped back just as the charged into me...BOOOM, dead fade <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
There is a RT and hive and full alien base without OC or SC. Thus, I simply snuck beside the RT and stood there.
Guess what? For a good 10+ minutes. No alien spotted me, coz I was 'camoflauged' against the RT. At last I heard egg and I charged in, kill the egg(onos), 3 MC and 2 DC. Almost killed third DC but skulks ate me.
Another time in a vent in origin Thorax let me touch him.
I was commander on ns_bast, the aliens had feedwater. I yell at everyone to go on the lift and sneak into the vents. Some people get in and i tell them to go left and crawl toward the vent at the bottom of the ladder from feedwater. I set up a new cc and two ips in the vent, the aliens don't notice and none trys to use the vent. Then I tell everyone to drop down and don't attack the rt. The whole marine team climbs the ladders inot feedwater hive and begin blasting away. The aliens are completely taken by surprise. They rush back to the hive from our ms but in twos and threes they have no chance against our entire team. Even when killed we just climb the ladder again and were back in the hive. Everyone runs out of ammo and it ends with three marines lined up crouching behind the hive knifing it to death. Hive bursts and its game over. Shortest marine win ever! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
of course the millions of times i've sneaked a pg into a hive / boosted myself into a vent with mines to kill that lerk.
sitting in a certain spot on ns_eclipse for 10+ minutes, watching the whole alien team run past several times. not a vent.. while the rest of the team was dead, and aliens were hunting me =F
Map with Tunnel hive-
- Lots of infestation you can walk through and hide behind, I was waiting in there for it to be clear of aliens (active hive) and for phase tech. Aliens are loosing and so I see an egg, com tells me to kill it, It was an onos the aliens last chance that game and then we all just rushed the hive.
NS_Tanith:
We relocated to waste hive and eventually are unable to secure nodes and are fighting onos and fades constantly, even killing quite a few. But thier is so much lame around the map trying to prevent marines from expanding out of waste, they had lame up around every conner controling every node on the map execpt for waste. So i ran through the waste vent, into rr, (getting hit by lame but just ran passed) into the chemical vent. And eventually got a phase up where we shot gunned the hive.
Computer core hive
-Aliens were busy defending maintenace... I walked right in to thier hive, built a tf, upgraded and elect it, built 6 seiges and finished them at the same time and took thier hive out in 30 seconds when they came to try to defend my team rushed maitenace and killed that hive too... Game lasted about 5 mins.
NS_cadge
- Marines losing aliens had 2 active hives, and central. 2 ninjas head out, one to gen, one to vent. They both get phases at teh same time, we shottie rush vent, kill it, phase to gen do the same, took down both hives in 40 seconds and the aliens were stunned.
Skulk (any map) when marines are comming to your hive or a node, try hiding in the top part, when 1 starts to knife and the other covers jump out kill the covering guy (he wont know where you came from) and then the knifer... Stuns mariens every time.
PLOP! right from the air into my mouth and he was like "WTH Where did youCOMEFrom!!>!? omg!!"
Also, slowly sneaking your way into the hive and watching the oblivious onos and skulks run by... priceless.
The one that takes the cake though... relocation to the catwalk above furnace hive in ns_bast (sniff... I loved that map!). By the time they'd noticed, the hive was gone <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Dropped and built the sensory while they were out trying to get a second RT (aliens had them all except marine start)
Then dropped 6 OCs and got them all to finish building at about the same time.
Was much chaos.
Second best was cloakwalking into feedwater hive which the marines had locked down. Put up a sensory out of sight of the turrets, then dropped the hive and a second sensory a little bit closer. With heal spam, the sensory lasted until the hive cloaked up. Marines were quite stunned to find we had third hive ability, even though they'd locked the hive down. After that, a movement chamber and a couple of Onos made short work of the marines who came to check out their "locked" hive. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Needless to say, 3 minutes later, all 9 marines drop out of the vent with HMGs/GLs and no more Cargo. The aliens were like (OMGWTHBBQ!!11oneone)
We still lost, but damn it was fun!
-Sinter
Around the corner, I could feel its hot breath on my neck. Searing pain cut through me as my nanoplate cracked and fell away, the Fade's lethal claws tasting fresh blood. It swung again, I dove to the side, next to a crate. Behind the crate I could see the door, and beyond the door, the elevator that'd carry me to safety, away from the hellbeast that loomed over me.
I drew my knife and buried the short blade into the creature's thigh. It let out a scream and backed away. I finished with a boot to the gut, knocking the creature against the far wall. I took that moment and broke off running again. The Fade snapped angrilly and tore angry gashes into the crate I was lying against only a fraction of a second before. I ran up to the door controls and slapped the button. It slowly started to ease shut. I drew my pistol, fired off three rounds into the hideous maw, and dove through the rapidly closing gap. Lying on the other side, safely on the elevator, I could see the nanowork activate the lift, carrying me up. I lifted the pistol to my eye, and began pulling the trigger, emptying six more rounds into it.
The lift had carried me only inches, and the fell creature, in a burst of unnatural energy, flashed towards the gap. <i>This is it</i>, I thought to myself. <i>This is how it ends...</i> The creature had flashed halfway through the gap, when it comically stopped in midair, limbs swinging widly. A desperate look crossed its face, a look of fear, pain, and the doors servomotors whined. Green blood squirted in jets out of the Fade, seeping up and around the edges, and when both doors met, half of the fade neatly dropped onto each side.
The end, the head and claws, on my side, writhed and twitched, it almost seemed to be crawling towards me, trying to finish the task the hive had appointed it. Blood frothed at its mouth, and its innards, pinned between the jaws of the door, were being pulled out, leaving a slimey trail of ichor behind it. I hopped off the moving lift, pulled my sweat-soaked helmet off my head and let it drop to the floor next to me. I stood in front of the creature and held my pistol to its head.
"You're...terminated...f****r!
I pulled the trigger.
There, I updated the end, I forgot the best part of that whole experience: The One-Liner I threw at the fade after he got smushed after I James Bonded through the doorway. I hope you all can realize where I got that from <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
(BTW: After I did that, he quit, probably in humiliation <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
In a similiar new bast PT, in feedwater there is a raised corner which is very dark and makes a nice hiding place. I snuck into their hive and the comm dropped me a TF but then i heard the dreaded sounds of skulks. I run up this ramp and hide in the dark looking down on the skulks who merrily start to munch of the TF. I've got a beautiful line of sight on both them and just nail them both. Unfortunately the siege attempt failed as i died later :|
The other classics involve killing an onos with the doors on nancy or an HA with the lift in cargo on hera.
That buddy was me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

For the power silo hive building a pg at the vert top owns hard. By the tiem a fade gets up there with blink it has used a lot of stamina and usually cant run away effectively, onos cant even get close although a skulk did try to lift it up there(funniest thing ever), lerks cant to **** to HAs, and skulks you can see them coming from so far away they are easy targets.
