Particularly for those of us who come straight into the forums and miss the front page altogether. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
Edit: Thanks for this! Should make a good resource going forward!
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Once upon a time, in the sunny days of yore, Bast was a fantastic and much-loved NS map. Among the most popular maps of its day. But this good fortune was not to continue forever. A foul being arose from the deepest pits of Hell and viciously attacked Bast, tearing out its heart and other vital organs with one fell stroke. The beloved Revolving Door was the first vital organ torn asunder, then the Marine Start Lift was also rent and scattered to the pits of hell. The one responsible for this horrible blasphemy, this disgraceful desecration of a most beloved monument, this closest minion of Satan, this disgraceful being of utter putridity was known to some as... "Mendasp".
To this day sympathisers to the cause share subtle signs and phrases to identify eachother. Softly whispering...

I will fight this removal tooth and nail! Y'hear me!? Tooth and nail!

Further more, I fail at wiki editing and am unable to list myself as the caretaker of maps because I'm retarded.
Also I might make my own wiki page listing my genius.
Bast was one of my most favored maps, like hera. I to feel it as a loss since I prefer atmosphere over balance. However if you actually read posts when bast was remade you see why it was removed. I disagree but I can understand why and there is no reason to bash any mapper over it.

P.S. @ <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/wiki/index.php?title=Ns_bast&action=history" target="_blank">MrBen</a>. According to this, you've never edited that page.
Like the alien chambers. A new player will get the point ( during game ) faster if he saw the picture before.
Instead of "is it the Defense chamber?" we would have "Ok DC chamber. How do we play that ?".
It would be a big step beyond. In fact a leap comparing to what we still see nowdays.
And maybee a little part on "try to innovate". Most of the games we see are played with a prefered chamber (like MC for vrs 3.0). Maybee, make people realize that SC or DC can make the difference (With teamwork; properly played, and a little bit of luck) because the opponent still play against MC (can't or don't adapt).
As said before, I really think there should be some way to upload photo's, if not uploaded onto the wiki itself then maybe on the Unknown Worlds site or anything really. As they say, "A picture's worth a thousand words". <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
I miss the revolving door. I can remember so many times I was in that thing, waiting for it, and I heard aliens on the other side. They knew it. I knew it. Mmmm. That kind of atmosphere is what kept me playing NS. I wonder if it was the unbalance that attracted many players.
Oh hey, and very cool this Wiki thing. Good idea.

What exactly is it missing/need, besides the obvious [more stuff!]. I mean, right now to make the basic information correct what does it require? My roommate is born n raised in Austria, so he speaks perfectly. Maybe if there are specific pages or paragraphs I can ask him... Anyone?
i am new over there^^ <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skulk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::skulk::" border="0" alt="skulk.gif" />
