I have goten killed by friendlies as a cloaker alot. They always saw they thought I was an enemy afterwords. I would jus tlike to ask that people make shure the cloaker is an enemy before they shoot. It is so annoying to die because a stupid friendly diddnt bother to check the color of the name.

You have to understand that when we see a shadow, we have a very little amount of time to open up on them until they are gone. Usually this time elapsed does not afford to look for that green name above the inifiltrator. What I recommend is that YOU macro something to say outloud when walking into a CC or other hot spot where friendlies are at and use it. Like, "Friendly Infil coming in," or something.
When confronted by problems like this, try and think of what YOU can do first, then what others can do.

I usualy uncloak when I am walking into a crouded CC. I am complaining about the random times when I am about to kill an enemy from behind, and a friendly sniper bullet flys through my head. This can get very annoying after a while if you can imagine.

If someone is sniping you cloaked, then they are retarded.
Honestly, most of the time I shoot friendly cloakers are in CCs where I am afraid of getting ninja hacked.

Nah, that is ok, what server are you playing on? I think I might have to roll a Terran on that server just to jack your day up.

It only takes one instance of hesitation to make someone go "fuck it, he shouldn't be cloaked around friendlies" which is quickly replaced by an unthinking volley of shots and stoping if grief pops up.

This is not uaualy around friendlys. It usualy happend when I am sneaking past a battle zone to get somewhere or get a few cheap kills. If I was uncloaked at a time like this, TKing wound be the least of my worries.

That seems like a strange thing to look forward to. Do you like to die?

doesn't make much sense that they wouldn't stop when the grief points showed up, so i would chalk it up to noobs who had a few bad experiences with stealths and no darklight, in which case, i doubt they will ever see this post.

I said I looked forward to our meeting. The outcome will be what it will be. Let's not get too cocky now.

I think most of the TK is because some ppl desactive names in the options... I seems to remember you could do this in beta, and without names you can't tell the difference between enemies and allies...
