<div class="IPBDescription">an important part of NS</div> I Think this relates to the need for Teamwork in NS, and what happens when nobody (no pun intended) works together <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

There are four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.
Anybody could of done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anyone could have done.

    Or to paraphrase, don't assume an essential job (guarding base, checking likely hive siege points, doing PG-jump checking) is being down. Ask if someone is doing it, and then do it yourself if it's not.

    Haha...How funny seeing that again...We had that placed on our notice board in my workplace as a joke...Loved it then, still love it now...And I can see how well that message will come across for some NS players out there who think 'me.me.me.me.me' and nothing else...

    Thats just what I usually think when seeing five marines in base waiting for jetpacks (with 0 res) and suddenly waypoint is given.
    In those times, I can almost read their minds like in comics "Someone else can do that, im busy waiting for res"
    And soon enough, were aaall dead. Very dead. Absolutely dead. One by one.
    End.

    There's no "I" in team, but if you look hard enough there's a "me"
