Your First Ever Post
<div class="IPBDescription">Dont be shy now.....</div> Well, I dont think this has been done before, or at least for a while. This is sorta like a nostalgia trip for us forum people. The idea is to go waaaayyyy back to find, read and post in this thread the first post you ever made on the NS.org forums. Here is mine made on Nov 15 2002 in the SandI forum:
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->I read that you dont want complicated suggestions, so here is a simple one for yah. I noticed that in my time commanding, i could see aliens running up to unsuspecting marines from behind, and by the time i typed a warning the aliens were picking their teeth with my mens' bones. So my very simple suggestion is this. A hotkey, maybe P for panic or something. You press "P" and it sends an alert to all marines selected. Maybe their hud can flash once, or a voice message saying "Heads up" or "INCOMING!" sounds.
Like i said, small, simple, just make the game that little bit easier for all concerned.
Keep up the good work ns team

If you dont know how to find your first post, here's how
Find a post you've made, and click on your name. Then select up the top the option "find all posts by this member". Simply click "last" up the top to go to the end of the list, scroll down to the bottom and that will be the first post you ever made.
Should be quite an interesting memory jog for a lot of us, how we were and how we posted way back at the beginning. I dont think this is a spam thread, but if it is I'm sure you mods know what to do.... I find it quite interesting myself to go around checking out the first post certain famous faces (Marik Steele's first post = pwn) around here made, so I thought I'd get people to bring em out into the open.
So please, post your historic first ever contribution to the greatest forum boards bar none!

and maybe as well we can have FISH instead of the knife, and when you hit somebody with it they go 'BLURP' and the guy gets like full slapped
and you can train killer cats to hide behind doors and jump around onto their faces and scratch them but the alien doesnt want to hurt it cos cats are cute!
and and and we can like, hire that home alone kid to rig up traps and everything @ spawn so whenever an alien comes thru a door, half a dozen poisoned caltrops come whooshing at his face!

My first post is increadibly boring, basicly I just said hi in the new player forum.
My 4th post I argued for balances to the Com system in the I&S forum, it was friggin extreme I tell you
Wow version 1.0 that reminds me I should play that at my LAN this weekend...
That was my first post, in the New Player Forum. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

--Scythe--
Here's a little script I wrote today that basically tries it's best to detect when people are in the readyroom and forces people to join a team instead of letting them pick.
This is not a team-balancer script that will switch people after they are on a team, this simply prevents people from joining a team that they know is going to win.
words of warning: this script only pseudo-randomly assigns the teams. Due to the lack of effort on my part you will notice that people with lower player indices will most likely end up being placed on the same team over and over again. But honestly I don't much care since my only goal was to prevent team skill-stacking.
p.s. this plugin requires logd to function.

Okay, I'm cool with that. But do you guys have structure gibs planned? It just looks odd that structures disappear in a puff of smoke. And I notice that aliens can get gibbed from a weapon like an HMG, not to mention that if you pay attention to the body parts, are actually HUMAN gib parts. Maybe you could get rid of alien unit gibs completely; I wouldn't have a problem with it...
I understand that it is not desired for the for the skulk to have it's POV changed when it's on the ceiling/wall, but is it possible to make the model appear that it actually clinging to the surface? Look at them sometimes makes you think that they developed advanced bio-velcro skin, that's also resistant to friction. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> And is there any way to actually make it look like it's biting from an outside view? You hear the munching, but when I look at it attacking the lone resource tower, it looks like it's having a staring contest with it, until the tower finally gives up, in a puff of smoke.
That's all I have for now, nothing major, and it wouldn't kill me if you guys didn't change this; unlike most of my friends, I STILL enjoy DOS games, and am a strong advocate of gameplay over graphics, (what IDIOT wouldn't be?) <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--><!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Now look at the mod... the putrid smell of crimson blood stains scour the maps. Oh woe is the 'T' rating, for the heathens have once again shown their true colours; the colour of all those combined: Ebony - the congregation of all the shades of sin...
<i>
ReadyRoom, 1802
Flayra! thou shouldst be living at this hour:
TSA hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: CC, HMG, and Meds,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
Have forfeited their ancient English dower
Of inward happiness. We are selfish marines;
Oh! raise us up, return to us again;
And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power.
Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart:
Thou hadst a commandeering voice whose sound was like the sea:
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free,
So didst thou travel on life's common way,
In cheerful godliness; and yet the heart
The lowliest duties on herself did lay.</i>
Three cheers to poetry desecration!
Still, my sin is trivial in comparison to a crime of this magnitude... You were once so bold, so proud! And now, we as a combined force have chained your pride; we have made you bow in subservience to our demands.
My recollection serving me right, they once demanded for the blood of the Christ to be spilled.
It seems history repeats itself.
Godless world...
ok. Lerk lift:
There is a plugin that lets lerks lift gorges around (i know this topic has been covered, so i'll be brief). Its on a few servers, and adds a new dimension of play. Not sure what the creaters think of it, but personally i like it... also, that perch idea sounds excellent :O
A Good comm can win a game. A Bad comm can lose a game.
A Good gorge can win a game. A Bad gorge can lose a game
Obviously the team is important, but gorge and comm are also very important figures. So why is it that commanders can be ejected, but gorges can't?! If a beginner goes and sits in the comm chair, it isn't long before he is ejected by his team. Which is good. But if a beginner evolves to gorge... there is nothing any one can do unless admins can slay / kick him/her! I'm all for teaching beginners how to play the game, and I have nothing against them, as I was one too. But i think there should be big messages everywhere saying "DO NOT GORGE UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THE GAME, AND KNOW THE LEVEL" or something to similar effect =). Or simply enough, a way for aliens to vote to have the gorges mind blown up by the hive? make hive-mind more of an effecting thing.
Oooh, that reminds me. All the alien speech things, like "i'm building here" or "need backup" things - things to that effect. it possible to for example, on hive mind have a little beacon put on the place where that message is? either with text to say what the event is, or a different shape for different things. like, picture of a gorge for building here, picture of marine for when they say enemies? something like that.
Thanks for listening.

Anyways,I've played around NS 1.03 and I'd have to say it is great to have such a game
And second,my (idiotic) friend always keeps killing me when I play alien,and I've pretty much lost most of my ability due to not playing for over a year ^^;
Anyways my question is....how do I fix an idiot bragging marine when a Skulk?? I've tried the old hit and run and stuff....maybe hiding??
