I play a lot of combat on Toxic Hell Combat, but IMHO the best NS games come from TGNS. Everyone is serious and you can really get some good games there.
Tactical Gamer is great when i can find a spot on the server or it's not empty. I'll seed co games to get enough people for ns, but I don't usually have the time. I also play on jiggly.

Bots have just been upgraded to the most recent version, and thanks to custom plugins, they spawn in at lvl 3 now (max 13; no xmenu/etc), to make things just a touch more challenging while we all wait for NS (which clearly does not suck). * see 'wbmgr' command; or play against humans. whatever.

Just make sure you don't let the comm know he's doing a bad job. Regardless of how you word it, you will be banned. No offense to TG, but some of your rules are quite helen.

Makaveli owns a ranch in Iowa, a summer beach house in Florida, and commutes to Pennsylvania and New York on alternating days for work from his regular home in Conneticut, okay.

steve said it well, they're too caught up in their own little world.
now that their ban list probably takes up more space on their HD than the actual game files, they've succeeded in weeding out every player with a modicum of ability and have watered it all down to a cesspool of the lowest common denominator. incompetence loves company, and now they've got nothing but.
the result of this is predictable: every time i refresh the server list now, i see the G4 server on a siege map.
NSA's short comeback failed miserably, and if that's any indication it would be futile to try and start up a new purist classic style server, which is the only option to revitalize NS given its current pub situation.
