What grinds your gears besides dying?

The fucking queen waiting a hour to launch the rasp for no fucking reason

I blame Jackie

[TheMaskedMan2]

Marines that aren't me. Fuck those guys. Seriously though marine incompetence in general, throws me far through the roof more than xeno bullshit ever will.

What about the parts afterwards where all the Marines claim "Xenos OP" "Ice sucks! Biased!" "Not balanced" afterwards, while refusing to adapt or change their tactics at all? Oh, how about when command tries to do something different for fun all the marines just pussy out and throw tantrums because it isn't the meta and basically throw the round and blame command. OR MARINES BEING STUPID SALTY SALMONS WHO CANT RP AND JUST WANT TO MEME ALL THE TIME-*Passes out from massive gear grinding*

I know how to win Ice Colony easy peasy.

The problem, however, is people listening to that instead of just following the established Meta.

I have quite a few strategies in mind (and some have actually worked in the few times ive been XO), but they only worked because everyone listened to my orders.

Thats the main reason I play SL over XO; because people don't want to listen to your orders to the point that ive contemplated just being a Bill Carson meme, aka abusing MP's constantly by arresting people just to put the fear of God in the marines to get them to listen... which will most likely just lead to a mutiny.

Mods/Admins need to stop allowing so many mutinies to happen. It's getting ridiculous.

When the xenos disobey your order as a queen so you get an admin to deal with it only to hear them bitching about it in the hivemind for a goddamn hour

No, your very wrong. I have seen starts where it's simple as send the shuttle down during xeno assault because they store people and eggs there. That CO got banned for meta. I main marine, we can rush over river. Xeno have T3's and always rush over the river. No meta. 100% the only person I know who is xeno banned that I saw was a queen that put the hive next to LZ2. Marines don't have the tools to push xenos. You have to turtle. Any time marines change from meta, the strat gets nerfed. With spec weapons being locked pretty much from xeno salt of someone killing them with a SADAR. A rocket tube? Point and shoot. Maybe your hand gets blasted off or broken, but a ID lock on all spec weapons is hug box. Remove all xeno mistake stuns. Make sure xeno upgrade to make sure marines loose. Hugger combat was removed and it was a balence thing. No hunter decapping you 2 hit and then never infecting anyone. This put pressure on hugger carrying classes, much like how command is pressured to make plans. Also what's up with medic can't use something to fix broken bones on the field. Make a Chem that can fix broken bones, but people take clone damage.

Tl;Dr marines tools hasn't upgraded whIle xenos can rekt a squad easy with everything they have. Anything marines do is nerf ed.

[TheMaskedMan2]

Look as someone that plays Xeno about 1/4 of the time, usually when I want a slight change of pace, and usually goes Xeno after I die... marines need to change tactics sometimes.

Here's the thing, Xenos by default, will win, with or without teamwork. Xeno gameplay is more forgiving and generally easier, has a high skill ceiling but Xenos have more chances, they will win.

Marines on the other hand REQUIRE complete teamwork, cooperation, and general competancy, which is a gamble.

Xenos that are good, get rewarded by maturing and they become even better, marines, no real reward. This is not a complaint either side, but marines honestly just need to hope the squad is competant, and command, and so on.

Though in general it's not about winning... annd marines need to experiment more, they get too upset and give up on ice before they even deploy. There are just some things that tell me the server is more balanced then people think. That's even taking into account the goal of a 70/30 win ratio.

I think marines typically win even more than that, especially on LV.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this but marines get nerfed for balance and because competant players with said items can carry the game or make too big of a difference. Anyways basically, marines need to chill a bit, and remove hugger combat.

When I get stuck being acting CO when I just want to be a regular Bridge Officer.
When I late join as a bridge officer and the XO is on the bridge happy to see me, tells me to look at a over watch terminal, and see the queen standing over the bodies of several marines. Then tells me they are going to cryo and wish me luck.
When I wait to manually choose my job to see if we have a XO or CO so I'll be safe to just be a bridge officer and find the XO ssd in their office not even having moved.

The high pop 'MUUUUHHHREEEEEINES'. I don't think I've seen as much autism on CM as I have on any other server on SS13. The legit cancer couldn't be more real when it's high pop.

When you're playing Infection and you have to make an ahelp requesting LOOC be disabled and Feweh himself has to step in to gib anyone that intentionally infects themselves.

[CraayyZ]

- When Medics don't know how to perform triage or stabilize the wounded.
- Mute Squad Leaders
- Grey tide Marines/Medics
- Shit FOBs/Defenses, FLIPPED OVER TABLES DOES NOT = A FUCKING FOB

But nothing pisses me off more than COWARDS, seriously. There was this round the other day where the Marines could of EASILY WON! But decided to be cowards, went and attacked the aliens by 2s vs using Sheer numbers and willpower (It was like 6 Aliens vs 40 Marines, LIKE COME ON!) and they all eventually got picked off = Alien Major. My heart..

1) People who order supplies THEN NEVER GET OR SEND THEM.
2) Assholes.
3) That I get too nervous to play doctor or combat engineer.

Also crab's beret larva is adorable.

admins get to insert new invincible "outer hull" walls around all but the entrance to the sd room, or pull any number of other pranks with blatantly ooc admin magic, while ordinary users are held to roleplay standards and threatened with bans for not being constantly serious even when playing xenos, a faction with no rp depth aside from going ree our lives for the queen

...you realize the outer hull was made invincible to prevent breaches right?

[misto]

there were outer hull walls in the space where metal foam filling is normally at the sd room, making it impossible for aliens to melt in the sides or back of the room. did i not explain that well enough? an admin was blatantly oocly interfering with the round by placing invincible outer hull walls in there. do you understand?

or is that just the new design of the sd room now?

It's the new design. It's always been that way. They just made the hull immune to projectile damage

[misto]

so is it the new design or has it always been that way? im the confused one now. you used to be able to acid in to the sides and rears of the sd room, claw off the metal foam, and continue aciding into the room. thats an official change?

[Steelpoint]

He's talking about a recent round where a admin placed the indestructible hull around the Self Destruct room where the foam usually is, forcing the Aliens to charge through the SD entrance.

In retrospect I think that was fine, considering that the Aliens were over forty in number and the Marines were utterly broken and disorganized.

The Aliens still won with minimal casualties, mostly due to bad Command orders and the engineers make a horrible defensive line.

oh, i dont have any problem with it being done in itself, i have a problem with the blatant double standard of ooc admin magic pranks and jokes being ok but normal players being held and threatened to a "medium rp" standard

It's not really a double standard since the conditions are entirely different for both.
