<div class="IPBDescription">'omg its teh bus'</div>Does anybody remember the BUS? A.K.A. the Big Unannounced System? Was it scrapped, is it no more? What was teh bus? Did it happen, was it implemented, will it be in NS2? For a while it was the hype of the community but it seems teh bus has faded into the background...

/edit

I also remembered just now that way back when, all of the bus topics would be locked. Is this one, too, destined to be locked by an angry Nemesis_Zero?

    Nemesis_Zero isn't around anymore, a status shared by the BUS, which I'm convinced never existed in the first place.

    Firewater, we don't need your nay-saying gobbledeegook here. We're talking about the BUS, which seems to be running a tad bit late. Maybe they canceled the BUS route, if you guys catch my drift. Eh? Ehhhh?

    *sigh*

    I suppose you're right though, it seems to have died off. I'll just go cry in a corner now.

    The BUS was renamed to NEXUS.
    IIRC it was abandonded after Cagey left the development team.

    In that case, no. And I'd quote you, but the quote button isn't working.

    Fun fact: Reply still works. Tricky if you want to quote more than one person or quote from a different thread, but still works.

    Well, if you are told what it is it has to be renamed to BAS (Big Announced System), which not as cool of a name as BUS. Therefore, it can never be announced.

    The BUS morphed into the super stats system, which was a total letdown after all that hype, so I prefer to think of it as having never actually been unveiled.

    I wonder what the BUS will turn out to be, guys.

    In about one day, both Nemesis_Zero and MonsE have shown up to make fools of me. I think if I keep yammering on we'll get Greedo, JediYoshi, and all of .txt back or something.

    Doubt it, I'm the only .txt member who is not currently banned and to get unbanned I had to log on to an <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showuser=32992" target="_blank">alt account</a> and PM Comprox.

    While I'm sure we trolled the forums, I don't remember doing it in I&S. Our main thing was to just rock pubs, remain silent, and have everyone assume we were bots / cheating.
