<div class="IPBDescription">Simple princples to not screwing up</div> BACKGROUND INFO:
Hello,
I'm [Misere]^, one of the older NS players from New Zealand and member of the clan [Sago]^. [Sago]^ has the rep of being one of the cooler clans (we don't tread on any toes, tight as a clan in regards to getting along, try to help new players when ever possible and our Mums say we are cool so it must be true!). This is coz we all adhere to the following commandments, even before they were formally written. As we have got a few new members we developed these commandments to ensure that this rep was maintained. After which it occurred to us that these commandments would be a nice guide to new players who often make a lot of simple mistakes. They are designed to act more as a guide to getting along in the game NS and your local community which, at least in my not-so-humble-opinion, is way more important that getting a high kill ratio. Fex is another clan (NZ oldest clan) which we have a friendly rivalry with and my younger brother also belongs to; this explains commandment 10 which was put in for the theme effect.
Anyway, I hope this helps some of you newer players to get into the sprit of NS. Once you start you will never look back, coz NS simply kicks assi.

And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast servers of our own ping limits. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the speakers. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possessed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the noobs, the cries of the noobs! You see, Reverend [Misere]^, today they have played NS and to them it is a holocaust, for they know not what they do." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have potential, they have a chance! Damn you! Let the leets wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an ownage? Can I get a gg? Thank you Flayra.
And so delivered unto me were the Ten Commandments of [Sago]^ and so peace may rain throughout the servers abided by its words for they are your guide to being the best all round NS player you can be. Here endth the lesson.
1. THOU SHALT NOT HAX: Never use game exploits or hax coz if you have to cheat to win you sux!
2. THOU SHALT NOT STACK: Stacking is for players that can't win even team games coz they have no skill or pride.
3. THOUGH SHALT FOLLOW THE COMM'S ORDERS: Of course use you judgement but if you want to have a chance you need to work as a team.
4. THOU SHALT NOT ****: Play for the team, don't play for yourself. I loss is a loss even if you have the highest score.
5. THOU SHALT ASK FOR TEAM CHAMBER PREFERENCE: Never get chambers that the team doesn't want, it not nice manners. Also if you can only drop one please tell the team so someone else can drop the rest.
6. THOU SHALT BE GRATIOUS IN DEFEAT: Be nice to the winning team, don't blame your comm or any other member of your team for the loss; it does not change the outcome or do any good.
7. THOU SHALT NOT F4: Unless there is very good reason to, comebacks do happen and it takes all the flavour out of the game.
8. THOU SHALT GUIDE THE NOOBIES: When ever possible less experienced players are to be guided in the art that is NS and shown the ropes. Remember that once you were a noob so don't get arrogant.
9. THOU SHALT WEAR THY TAG: Your clan is your family and the tag should be worn at all times in game and within posts on NS Forums.
10. THOU SHALT ALWAYS MOCK FEX: All rules DO NOT apply when dealing with fexlings, although you may want to pick some other clan to burn.
As promised I have fixed the spelling so please stop PM'ing me with links to dictionary pages!

Also, find a way to make it so that whenever you die, and you press something to have you type, it instead has you say "I'm about to complain about the fact I got pwnt."
One of the more annoying parts of NS, I wished more people went by this commandment. Even if you have no chance, the game WILL end soon, so just wait, it takes so much out of the game, winning to an F4 when you were so close to doing it proper.
Welcome aboard.

9) What if your forum name was created well before you joined (or founded) a clan? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Recently I've played on servers and people have only dropped a single chamber too. Ideally always plan to drop 3, but tf you are only dropping one DC/MC/SC please let people know so they can plan to drop some more, it slows the momentum of the game and makes it less fun.
Thank you! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Even though everyone knows who is going to win <i>in most cases </i>(I won the other night to f4'ers on veil when they had 2 hives up and the third building, I gave out shotties and hmgs to take down pipe then moved straight on to seige cargo and before i had even placed the first seige turrets 4 of there team f4'd telling everyone else that it was useless). It is still annoying when your killing there last hive, or killing the ip/cc, and takes something from the victory (in my eyes anyhow) when you win due to f4'ers.
You do realize that won't help you. Instead of watching his gorgy butt get killed by grenades, you'll be running around the rr for 5 minutes. Whoop-dee-frickin-doo.
As promised I have fixed the spelling so please stop PM?ing with links to dictionary pages!
Goofy you don't even have any comdanments...at least none that you talk about!
As for the F4 thing, if people are camping just to get more kills or someone has been hiding for 5 minutes then "F4" away. Else take your **** kicking like a man.
Step 2: Rinse & repeat.
they are some good rules to play by
I would love to see so much more of this.

I know i'm gonna get beef for this, but sometimes i hate fighting with people who don't want to play as a team.. If i'm on a server (i only play pubs ^^) and want to have fun, I'm going to join the team that is the most competent to do well....If i believe they are worse...I will f4 and spectate....and rejoin later if they are doing better. Most matches are won and lost by teamplay (or hax0rz but thats a different subject)
Overall good thoughts for the average joe. My favorite thing about NS is that its always inyourface kind of playing and the community isn't stuckup or trying to prove themselves better (more than the next guy).
EDIT:I Didn't mean stacking 11vs5....Of course thats wrong...I meant skill wise
THOU SHALT LEARN TO USE YOUR MAP: Refer to you map as often as possible, not for direction but for information.
Countless times I have had to let people, the other side of the map, know they have incoming, because I have seen it on my map (and I don't mean as comm), I, also, often have to warn my team of incoming to base (again not as comm). If i'm not in a combat (not co_) situation, my map is probably up giving me much more knowledge of whats going on across the map it can also help you spot an alien in a room you have just entered.
Shame the nz pubs are going to such ****, skill stack every game <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
