Hey! Voob! You aren't gonna win if you keep killing that newbie scout over and over. How about you look up and see that the commander has been begging for probes for 5 minutes now. Ooops. Too late, the other team is now bombing un-eyed!

What you say? Build ANOTHER tech base? Too bad you didn't defend our miners 10 minutes ago when the commander said D miners, last miner, no more miners EHHHHHHHHHHHH!!?!!???

This is not a rant. it is a fact of the state of Allegiance.

You are all a bunch of wanna be wanking whores who want ALL THE GLORY BUT NONE OF THE WORK.

There's 2 things you HAVE TO DO IN THE GAME TO WIN.

One. Probe so we don't get suprised bombed and con rushed, we can see his miners, and just general intelligence. (Side note, probing a sector once and then forgeting about probing is weak sauce. It's a job. Suck it up and do it. I do.)

Two. Defend your Miners until commander specifically says "WE DO NOT NEED MINERS ANYMORE, RAPE THEM AND WIN" nothing less than that is acceptable.

If you Probe and Defend miners every game your chances for team success increase exponentially.



I don't know why I am writing this because 60% of you can't read anyway.

Think about it.

Smell ya later. Jerks.

You're wrong, more than 80% can't read. /doh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doh:" border="0" alt="doh.gif" />

You're both wrong. 99% can read but 98% of them don't bother.

You dont get the same recognition when probing sadly.
An example? There was a thread a while ago where nearly everyone gloated about there amount of kills in a squad game. and the thread title wasnt even about that.

Ozzy spent an entire game that I was commanding doing useful things. Sometimes he did something because I asked him to (Miner D). Sometimes he did something because it needed doing (probing).

And sometimes, he SBed because I refused to give an omni-fig to anyone who hadn't blown up a base or killed a miner.

Spell your name out in probes in a sector, you'll get recognition. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

We SBed because it had to be done, because it was a bunch of refers that they were just using to mine and rebuild.

How about a thread on useful probing/deprobing?
We all know about going off plane 500 m and going behind alephs. Hence, we all react to that. Any ideas to go around this? Something not set in stone, so flexible that can be manipulated on a game-by-game basis so they're harder to find?
And how about easier to find theirs?
