Title: Me needz a reservdor slot!
Post by: E-Fonzarelli on February 08, 2005, 12:13:06 AM
Hi, i'm really not that lame and everyone that plays with me knows :)

anyways, a reserved slot would be really nice - and I know i'm a horrible commander, but i've got a killer aim and I would hope that most people that know me well know i'm a hard-core team player.

cept for when i'm getting sucked off by my imaginary girlfriend named rosie.

so if you think I should get a reserved slot, SAY AYE!!!  (or I...   or another variation  <3  )

Not asking is a rule, isn't it?  Or maybe just a guideline.

That, or I'm mistaken and it's the only way to get one. o_O

It's a guideline. If I think "hmm, so-and-so could use a slot," then we are in a "why not?" kinda situation. If, however, you go and say "I need a slot!" then we are in a "why?" situation. Which is exactly what I am asking myself right now. You probably play at different times than I do, because I have never seen you on the server.

I have seen him on the server before and he is a good team player; however, recently i've yet to see him

I don't see him on the server much when I play, but that could be because that he doesn't have a slot.

Not everyone enjoys spam quite as much as you, TAK.

Historically I've seen the fonz quite a bit, but of lately I have to be honest and say I don't recall seeing you very much these past few weeks.  But I will say he has been around quite awhile, team player, good guy.  But yeah - as Nite would say "The first rule of getting a reserved slot:  DON'T ASK FOR A RESERVED SLOT.  The second rule of getting a reserved slot is DON'T ASK....."  ;)

As far as I know, it's a rule.  I didn't ask. Though apparently you're not penalized for hinting, it is frowned upon.  You though, the admins ph34r your voicespam, they don't ever want to know what happens if you AND MrBill join at the same time, and you not having a slot is a good way to insure that.

Hey, if were on the subject, Corvus should get one for just being all nice and waiting, my knowing him has nothing to do with it. (he also has a boat that seas 12!)

as for fonz, I seem him  a lot, but I dont really remember interacting him except for the occantional "OMG COVER!LOLOHNOESIUM!" and then I just Im muted already.

But other then that, Yeah he's on the server enough in my view

I've seen you a few weeks ago playing quite a bit, but not in the past few days. Play a bit more here, in my opinion. Why would you want to play anywhere else!

i've not been around for the last couple of days too much becuase I JUST took my first abnormal psycology test for this semester (i'm sure you know how some tests like that can be - when you don't know how the teacher tests) and my physics test on tuesday

I'll be around all weekend long BUDDEH!!  :)

But seriously, I do have a fiancee and so my playing time can be limited at times becuase I do put my gf in front of my game playingg (WHICH IS VERY HARD MIND YOU) so when I do get a chance to play at the best server in tthe world (hows that for sucking up?) i'd like to be able to hop on

time to check for a slot again  :)

And if nothing else, I gave you guys a topic to ream me on.  I don't mind being the brunt of a barage of bashing.  Wow... Three B words all in a row...  my lingwishtix are incredulous.!


edit - and since i'm a constie, I always play Beta 6 games if I can before I will fox with beta 5.

My mother always told me that to recieve you must be made aware that you want something. Which is why for 4 years I asked for a Jonny7, Eventually I got one, but then by the time I did i was 15, and therefore took little interest in it. I keep it as a memento of my childhood, a gun with 7 uses.

I don't know what to say because me myself haven't got one yet. I don't mind not having a res-slot yet, It's sort of a cosmetic thing.

Post by: Diablus on February 24, 2005, 05:44:49 PM
took me a good 4-5 months to finally get a RS  :blink:

talk more on IRC, get more involved in the forums and if you play alot of NS in there (ive seen u quite a few times) you'll be sure to get one.

No, its more than a cosmetic thing. Well, you wouldn't know that unless you have less than perfect ping. I myself usually have around 90 ping(not bad at all) but I still find that I get kicked every few minutes, sometimes more often.

Conclusion: It's hard to "get more involved" in a situation where every time you start to get into a game you end up kicked.

Post more here, and get on IRC.  You'd be surprised how little playing on the server matters when you're up for a  slot - it's probably the least important of the three.  

Recall that not everybody here was not handed one as soon as they stepped in the door - we know how you feel.

it takes an amount of being there to get noticed, especially without asking or hinting for it.

I think you read me wrong. I wouldn't even have the nerve to ask for a res slot after only playing for a few days, especially after hearing how long its taken some of you. I was just mearly pointing something out. But anyways, thanks for the advice, it should come in handy if I ever decide to pursue a slot

Post by: SwiftSpear on March 17, 2005, 02:41:36 AM
Ya, like dubby said, its not about how much time you have logged on the server, its about how much we recognize you.  More activeness is equivalent to a greater chance of being slotted.

Don't assume your up for a slot unless you have been active for at least 2 months, your hoping for a miracle (although it has happend in special cases).  It took me around 6 monthes to get my slot... although to be fair I was only active for about 2 of them.

[edit] The reason why asking for a slot is bad is that when you ask for a slot we do consider you... but if there is really any reason why you shouldn't be slotted then you won't be and it will probably be longer before we consider you again since that last time is still in the backs of our heads.  However if your name is brought up by other slotters rather then yourself, we are alot more likely to overlook reasons to not slot you.
