Earlier today I saw a locked match server where there was a scrim in progress.  One of the teams was some clan I'd never heard of before.  The other team was a bunch of people with variations on the name "Communist With A Gun."  Like "Communist With a Gum" or "Communist With a Bum."  I saw it soon after I read this thread so I found it very strange  :blink:

there is like a petition going on the ns forums to unban cwag you probably saw their avatars/sigs before the forums went down.  so i can imagine people who are fanatical about cwag being unbanned using a form of his name

General / REQUIRED READING FOR PLAYERS

« on: November 29, 2004, 12:00:51 AM »

just to add some more.. after reading more the responses.


LB is a good guy, he is fun to talk to and just shoot the breeze with.  Being the single person in charge of maintaining a server and its community can be hugly stressful, i'm not saying this an excuse for the accustions that some people said. Personaly I've never seen LB ban someone for "killing him 4 times" hell i've killed him before 2x in a row when he as an onos etc and he never banned me, jsut called me an arse ;p. I think some people are just mad at him becuase they were banned..

Grayduck: You seem to be a nice person, but honestly I don't know anything about you. When you were made an admin it kind of striked me as odd since you were so new to the community, but didn't really concern me since I don't play NS anymore.

As far as banning good players go. Most of the "good players" that were mentioned were banned for being assholes and having the "better then you" attitude.  Or breaking rules over and over becuase they think they are stupid.

As far as Ura goes, yes he can be an asshole and he is infamous for his enjoyment of arguing with everyone about everything. I used to hate him and argue with him all the time. But once you get to know him he is auctaly a cool guy to talk to. I think he crosses the line alot with his posts, but thats just the way he is. Again that isn't an excuse for his actions on numerous accasions. Vinne I've never talked to so can't/won't comment.

I think i'm done ;p

well he never told me it would be posted or anon so i have no problem with people seeing what i said.

i think one of the common things that came up in the txt dump was the fact that NS as a game is going downhill which causes servers to go downhill.. personaly i think we should post this on the ns forums or send it to a dev, to show that one of the really great NS servers is slowing down due to the game slowing down. they might already know and not care but its worth somthing atleast. I think some people just need to realise its a game, and you win and lose. people get seriously to worked up over losing.

Off Topic / dual monitors

yea the only real reason for two moniters is like having notepad open one side and typing a paper on the other or so. maybe the new windows will support better features /shrug i always wish you could have like firstperson view on one screen and 3rd person on the other or so.

i've completed the game, in 1 sitting since it was avaible VIA steam.


my favorite parts are the city17 battles, with your squad and you fight against striders and what not, it REALLY brings the feel that your in the game, and with everyone being like "with gordon we can win" it makes you alittle cocky when taking the striders on

I auctaly love the whole part where your in the body casket thing, and traveling through the citadel, its really amazing.

and of course dog owns
