Popular mods blow anyway.  Good thing your post didn't make much sense.

I'm sure if this is important to the dev team, they've already considered it.

We of the forums thank you for your concern and would like to reassure you that yes, Natural Selection will be very popular upon release.  Although there are many on the forums who wish (most with good reason) the mod had stayed relatively smaller, nothing can stop the momentum NS has picked up.  If you want proof of how popular this mod has become, simply check the number of registered forum-goers and see how the number rises daily.

Respectfully yours,

hmm... there's high possibilies of convincing some ppl to get one or two servers of NS after its release. Portugueese online-gaming community is very diffrent from all the others, because (just like we showed in this football world cup) some of us play really good, and we have a huge quantity of lhamers and spammers (99%?)... But the community portals listen to us, and create and evolve very well, it's a mix between anarquy and dictatorship! LOL

Anyway... Don't worry about popularity, in a few months your MOD will be far more popular than Counter-Strike itself... Hmm mayibe i'm over-reacting, the most correct thing to say would be... More popular than TFC, DoD and Ricochet, together... <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

What these folks are trying to say, Fist, is that your posts are incomprehensible.  Nobody understands a word you're saying.

Try using normal sentences.  It works.

MonsE is a good PR person.  PlanetHL is well aware of NS's existence, and has periodically posted updates and screenshots from it.  I have to say, though, sending them a screenshot of the Level5 in action would probably be a pretty good idea.  Dunno if you're already planning it, MonsE.  (:

It should also be noted that NS got a tibit on Planet Half-Life on the "Stories from the Frontline" thread.  In other words, I think it'll go over well, when it is released.

The day we sent PHL the links to the stories and pictures from recent tests, we had this result in the forums:

<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td><b>Quote</b> </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"><!--QuoteEBegin-->Most users ever online was 115 on June 25 2002,13:50<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

We usually have about 35 on, concurrently. Don't worry, we're getting the word out. Plus (and this is why RR.org has not been updated as much lately), there is a secret project underway right now to hopefully get tons of servers and additional players.

Mmmm... seeeecretssssss...

The NS Dev team should adopt the same slogan as "The Shop" from Soldier of Fortune II:

"Secrecy is what we're all about!"
