1. Make sure you notice the reason for your boot. In your case it sounds like you played the wanna-be whore and failed instead of just nanning the miner. If you don't understand, why you got booted, don't hesitate to ask the commander.
2. Get your hider and rejoin.
3. Don't make the same mistake again. Improve your skills and lower the level of frustration your commander has to suffer.
Always remember: The boot is not to bring you down personally.
This, especially #1.
I'll always tell you why you were booted if you ask. I'll also announce to the team why you were booted.
You could at least make an effort to see who your comm was when you were booted. Please think harder before posting on the forums and RTFM.
IMO

Er i was in the game and IIRC u were booted because u intercepted an int in an sf while there were fours pods around you (the comm and me included). Also you were ordered to hide and pu pods...But 3 more poeple were booted in the same game so this can b sum1 else...

dont worry to much about being booted ive been booted plenty when i first started play its was with just cause but ive been booted for things like
proxing a alph well on minner d against sf (not right beside the minner is the resion) thoe the fact i got 4 sf coming in dosnt seem to matter neither dose the fact it was the center alph we were minning and the alph i was proxing was the only way in and we had three other nans on the minners with two ints for any sf that were alredy in the sector against sf with no probes in sector
or i was booted for naning a sup con because once i killed the guy attackng it and was naning it i was booted becasue the con wouldnt plant well i was naning it (would take about 20 seconds to nan it to full health)
and the best was being booted 12 min into the game affter picking up 6 cash packs bringing home 4 tecs and finding half the alphs on the map i was booted for not attacking a minner (i was packing nans and the minner had a lt int defending it)
the point of this is not to whine about being booted its just to point out that your rank has something to do with being booted. A 5 making a mistake is alot more likly to get booted than a intern i have a rank of 7 novice so get booted for most everything (i play for the short stack alot my stack rank is -5. something one of the highest) if you realy cant handle the occasinal boot i would advise you to join the stacked team in a few games in a row and get your rank up aswell as learning alitle more about why you were booted and what is needed to win a game
hint a good scout is in truth alot more valuble then a good whore in a game unless that whore is soloing miners and cons for example a well places probe can do more to stop a bomb run then nuke can in a hvy int with mini 3 stumbling across it as it enters his home alph
