<div class="IPBDescription">I'm anal-retentive</div>First, I apologize for nitpicking.  I just saw the <a href="http://www.valvepit.com/index.php?viewshot=newsimages/14-04-2002_nsex_Half-Life_Howling_1.jpg&idshot=62" target="_blank">link</a> to screenshots at the Ready Room, and looked at the first one to see: "This is your team's hive, it gives you resources and let's you respawn... protect it!"

Who noticed the grammatical errors?  Maybe I'm overly anal, but grammar mistakes really annoy me.  So in the hope that I can help NS be not great, but *perfect*, can I suggest you have someone go through all your visible type and correct spelling/punctuation mistakes?  Nothing's more unprofessional than poor English.

Yeah, I'm anal, sorry.  (:  (ps- the mistakes are "let's" - it should be "lets" - and the comma after "hive," which should be a semicolon.)

    Ok!  (:  I've just seen way too many "finished" mods with rampant spelling/grammar mistakes.  Granted, most of these are written by computer techs and not English majors, but at least have the sense then to *find* an English major to check it for you. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    If I thought I had the time, I'd gladly sit down with the NS script/FAQ/readme/tutorial/manual and make it pretty - I'm already that hooked on this damn thing. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->  But right now I'm failing out of school, so I think I gotta get my priorities straight.

    Ehhh, I minored in English. My degree was a BA in Psychology, though.

    No worries about the spelling, grammar, and attention to detail. There will be a concentrated effort to get all the various spelling and grammar errors stamped out before release. Actually, 99% of the in-game text you see is placeholder, rather than actual sprites and audio, so not much effort was made to keep it perfect.
