<div class="IPBDescription">in a word</div> I was playing some WoW and somehow or another some of us (random players) got talking about NS. After impressing them with incredibly low member #, I thought it might be appropriate to at least drop by and say hello. I don't every see many/any of yall anymore but for those whom I knew, thanks for the memories.

And major props to the NS team. I don't care how slow some of yall think they are in getting releases out (everybody is impatient for the newest version of their favorite thing), what they've done is incredible and they have all my respect. Cya all around, adios amigos!

    Hectate...the name seems so familiar, and yet I think you were before my time. Probably means you've been in at least one funny story I've heard from fellow old-timers. Feel free to drop in any time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well, Hectate has been around for a good two hours less than me, which makes him the third NS fan there ever was. How's the fiancée, Hec?

    Long live 1.04 Nancy with no-name hive YAY!

    (Still think they should re-name it back to no-name instead of mother, even if it was a mistake on the first get-go.)

    Ahh, yea, the good old days. Reading Flayra's incredible ideas on the old site, inventing neat things to do in a map with the welder tool, and sitting idle in #naturalselection (when having more than 5 people at once was a big thing). And seeing the concept art for a marine/alien and saying "Wow, that would be cool if it could actually look like that!" and then when the model was skinned, it DID look like that .
    Oh, and who can forget, right before I left for college, the NS Technology Releases. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Oh the love we mappers had for Flayra, heck, even people who had no intention of mapping were getting it. Which inevitably led to the formation of the NS footrace fad and other stuff like that.
    Anyway, some of you might recognize me because up until a month or two ago (I forget exactly) I was in #naturalselection often/occasionally. Once I started playing WoW though, I kinda dropped off a bit. I'll be sure to stop in more often though. Anyway, I'll talk to ya'll later, I've gotta get to bed so I can get up in time to be at work. G'night fellers (and ladies)!

    ps. I have been dating my g/f for 7 months and 1 day (started on Holloween last year). We've discussed marriage and everything (and I'm preparing -- save, save, save <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) but as we've planned it that's not going to happen until next spring. So I've got just under a year, and about a 3-4 month [official] engagement period directly before that. So, in answer to the question, she is awesome. I'll post a pic sometime, so everyone here can know that, yes, there *is* hope for us geeks <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
