Sure, if boilers get the same treatment.

Sure. I'll support that. If you want to make a suggestion for BOTH snipers and boilers to get "ignores friendly fire" features, I'll +1 it.

I haven't seen one good docter, ever. Been sitting here trying to get my lung patched up for about 40000000000000 minutes.

Sometimes there ARE a couple of good docs, but the thing is... It's like two or three doctors that have to take care of like 40 other people. When there's ONE person who gets a fracture, doctors gotta spend a few minutes taking care of them. Bullet shrapnel? Even longer. If you want to help out, play medical.

Hey now there is a good doc helping me out. But i get it, doc is hard when 3 of the 4 is SSD and then there is 10000 people that need treatment.

Yeah, people give Medical a lot of shit because it takes a while for them to get treated, but the thing is Medical is ALWAYS understaffed. I mean, there's like what, four doctors tops? For around 20-60 potential patients? If marines wouldn't shoot each other so often it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but because they DO shoot each other all the time the doctors not only have to deal with the fracture, but also the shrapnel as well. Then, if an infected patient comes in you've got to drop what you're doing so they don't die. There's only 2 OR's so if there's five patients out there with fractures, they're going to be waiting a while. Meanwhile the three or four doctors have now become one or two doctors since the others are SSD.

We could use more doctor slots. And also require that you actually KNOW medical, at least a little, before you play doctor.

So about a month or two ago I ran into what I'm pretty sure is the worst CO to ever exist.

I was SL, Charlie I'm pretty sure. Map was the colony. We'd gone through the script of "meet survivors>OH EM GEE ALIUMS???>patrol>lose a few rambos>fall back while they call you a shitbag for not solo'ing the whole hive to get them out>fortify the nexus" and were currently waiting for the skirmishing with xenos to escalate into a fullblown siege. We didn't have a CO, but the XO had done a good enough job as commander for most of the round; not bad, but obviously overwhelmed. So imagine my relief when I saw that a CO had latejoined. I gave him a few minutes to get ready (mostly because of having to scare off the occasional runner), then asked my squad what we needed before asking over the command channel for a helmet shipment. His response?

August W. Walker [Command (CO)] asks, "Who here likes pasta?"

I shit you not, that line is completely unedited. He didn't even acknowledge me before beginning to ramble about how yummy spaghetti is like something out of a Deviantart post written by a teenage girl who watches Invader Zim, while my boys were screaming bloody murder because the huggers were starting to break their skulls because they had broken fucking helmets. And I had to be the one to tell the ones who weren't already bleeding to death that we weren't getting any supplies. Fast forward, xenos had pushed into the chapel pretty heavy, marines in crit everywhere screaming for a medic, boilers who actually knew how to play bombarding us, it was one of the worst situations possible. We were starting to run low on ammo, to the point even men outside of my squad were screaming for shipments, and I was pretty sure I was the only SL left who hadn't already been infected and checkered. I asked him in the politest possible way at this point for an ammo shipment, only for him to brush me off again.

Before understanding the full implications of what happened next, you need to understand that I play games like this in a very loyal, ask-how-high sorta way. If I'm serving below you and I believe your plan is fucking stupid, I will object. I will raise my concerns, critique it, and let you know I think this isn't the best course of action, but I will follow it to the letter, even if it's something like "FULL PLANETARY RETREAT EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE KICKING THEIR ASSES LOL". This is because anybody who's played even just once as CO will understand how many squads have to wait to follow your orders because they aren't in shape, leading to a clusterfuck of cancelled orders being carried out anyways at the worst possible place, at the worst possible time leading to a Major Alien victory. The one and only time I will ever, EVER break this rule is if you're either obviously a griefer or obviously don't give a shit, and this guy had broken it. At that point I wasn't ready to start organizing a mutiny just yet, but I was fucking done being polite with him while he was probably touching himself to Thomas the Tank Engine inflation porn as my squad died around me.

Comms goes silent for a moment just after he finishes responding to the MP about some unimportant BS, allowing the living hell of screaming amputees, screeching xenos, and pulse rifle fire to fully dawn on me.

August W. Walker [Command (CO)] says, "And will, im sorry for trying to distract you guys from your immenint devise"

That was fucking it.

My last moments on earth, after getting hugged as a result of honest-to-fucking-god pausing to let my jaw drop at the almost unbelievable incompetence of the worst commander I had ever seen, were spent informing the marines on-planet how our commander was more concerned with savoring mom's spaghetti than sending the shipments that could have saved their comrades' lives, with the last order to the two, maybe three survivors of my squad being to organize a mutiny.The last thing I heard before bursting was the few survivors who were currently en-route back to the Sulaco talking about how they were gonna rip his fuckin' guts out, which brought a smile to my lips and peace to my exploding heart.

We lost the round, surprise surprise.

TL;DR: Latejoin CO babbles le randumb-like about how much he likes pasta instead of sending us lifesaving ammo and helmet shipments, tells us to fuck off and die when called out on it.

Buddy, stop complaining about the ban, it does not give you any sympathy... read the rules first, you are not supposed to have marine gear, at ANY POINT as of right now unless under VERY PRECISE circumstances.

The ban was the cherry on top, and it was only a day. The rest of the story, especially dumbfuck RO and assmarine is the reason i'm mad.

[Daisuke08]

What kind of miracle circumstance do you need to use a gun when you're getting griefed and aliens are boarding the ship? There's like no possible situation where you could be in even more danger

First off, I DO Agree you should be able to get a gun for aliens. But if you're getting griefed by an idiot marine, stop, ahelp, and take the bullets. You WILL be healed. Shooting back gets you a ban/jobban

The only staff on was a Moderator, who I didn't think had any sort of powers. Even then, I wasn't aware of that.
Now let's get back to screaming at idiots who insist on not wearing shoes and then blame their entire squad, taking potshots at the Squad Medic as a runner drags them off.

Anyone notice forum is spelt wrong or is that just me?

[MamuelMamington]

Probably the thing that gets me the most pissed off out of anything ever is the ADHD of the average marine. The SECOND an alien pops out you can bet that 9/10 marines will RUSH at it and ignore any order you give them. Runners can give a squad whiplash and completely break them up just by running around them. What the hell is a formation anyhow?

The zig-zag mazes and electric rods is the Omega Squads thing if I am correct... Atleast I see Omega memebrs going them a lot.

I have absolutely no clue who Omega Squad is, but they need to learn practical fortification building.

[Hycinth]

I personally place tables to prevent marines from running onto the grilles, or make a shortcut around with false walls. People insist on running into grilles no matter how you build them. I've stopped caring about marine safety regarding egrilles, since no matter HOW safe you make them, someone'll find a way to shock themselves. Repeatedly. In the dick.

WELL...

Sometimes we don't know they are electrified. Believe or not sending out one or two warnings over Radio do not ALWAYS get to us...

Also, a lot of the times I LAG into them, thinking I stopped moving but I am infact STILL going towards them.

Hell, SOMETIMES I will be walking near one and someone walks into me and shoves me up into it! E-Grilles are a pain in the ass even WITH warnings.
