<div class="IPBDescription">Help clear up views.</div>Just a suggestion to the community. It would be nice to see everyone place somewhere in there sig where they stand on big issues and your view point.
Big issues being Bunny Hopping, Scripts (more for NS1 and irrelevant now), and other hot topics that always are brought up.
By view point i mean what your goal in NS is. Pub scene, Competitive scene, or Pug Scene (Pick Up Group, meaning competitive format but random people playing for fun). Mainly between Pub and Competitive. It helps to know where you are coming from when you post. This isn't meant as a "Oh, that guy is for competitive scene, he is an *******" or "Oh, he is for the Public scene, Noob!"
Just a thought as it would help me personally understand better where people are coming from and making it easier to sympathize with points made.
Example:
JoeBobPubber posts: Marine shotgun SUCKS, it needs a buff BIG time!
JoeBobCompetitor posts: Marine shotgun is right where it needs to be.
For the sake of argument, Pubber cant even figure out how to change his name from NSPlayer in game to what he wants. Competitor was in one of the highest ranked clans Pandas. Without the background each would have equal say and sway on the discussion though it isn't the case.
By no means am i saying the competitive crowd is always right or should be heard over others, but hey have put in the time into the game and figured out how to be very effective. It also makes me think twice when i see, say a Member of Exigent who was one of the best on the team say "Hey, Bunny Hopping needs to be left in NS1 and this is why".
Thanks all for taking the time to read.

I remember the good ol' days where he'd be in the server with us, and we'd all be playing NS/combat and we'd tell him what he should try to change to see how it works out, 30minutes later, he'd come back, and there'd be a new build up and we'd all jump back in and test it out, up to 4 new builds a night, it was pretty nice.
It's nice being able to get our point across direct to the developers, that's what i loved about playtesting for NS1, we had an easy way of getting in touch with Flayra, now it just seems that what we all say lands on deaf ears.
ps: Love how in your past few posts you've been bringing up past NS1 clans (exi/pandas/terror etc.)

Oh, and I don't really see the point in adding the signature thing about if you're a competitive player and all that, I doubt many people really look over signatures all that much. Plus just because you're a competitive player or pubber, doesn't really say how much experience you have in the game. I know a lot of competitive players who are clueless about a lot of the things in the game
For exigent, Painuser works at IGN, Syckness was/is still playing games. Nadagast is doing Nadagast things, Rennex drops medpacks in real life, he plays NS2 from time to time. Oren (jmms) I don't see him in games that often, see him on facebook all the time though, same with silverwolf, though pretty sure that silverwolf plays games too. I play NS2 now. a_civilian is always on IRC, though not always around.
