I think we should just all chill for another however many weeks months or years, because there are plenty of games for us to be playin. I just rediscovered CS last week and im getting warcraft 3 soon, though these games arnt as good as NS will be, I think we can keep ourselves busy if you know what i mean. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
After getting my 5 minutes of fun out the the UT2003 leaked tech release, I am now playing Gore for my gaming fix, until NS comes out. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

He means that:
1. If you work for a company specializing in games, there is a higher chance that you would become a PT because they give more profeesional advice.
2. The FAQ is a bit out dated. Meaning that you can have alot of posts but still have as much of a chance as say.... me.

I was ordering on behalf of several people, so I wasn't paying for all of it; we pooled our resources. My share came to about $21.
