Does anyone have any estimate as to when Natural Selection will be out to the public? I think this will be a great mod... I can't wait.  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->   <!--emo&:asrifle:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':asrifle:'><!--endemo-->  <!--emo&:tiny:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':tiny:'><!--endemo-->

    11th commandment: Thou shall not ask about the release date of NS.
    12th commandment: Thou shall use the forum search.
    13th commandment: Thou shall play Dance Dance Revolution until thy legs wither.

    When it's done.  Sorry if that's a bit harsh, but it's been asked time and time again, and we're getting tired of saying the answer.

    Well, thanks for the generosity of a new member to the forums. I"m glad everyone in the world is so kind and helpful. Maybe I just shouldn't post here.

    And thanks, killing my family would be much appreciated right now, as long as you get everyone else in this forum.

    im new here, a long time ago, i heard rumors of a new HL mod that mixes up StarCraft like Game play and HL all together. I didnt remember the name back then, but today, i searched for it, and finaly found it. i think Natural selection will be just as big a Counter-Strike(i play that alot too). I love strategy games, and i also love fps too. this game will basicaly combind both of my favorite typs of games together *drool* i want it so badly!

    I have learned that the beta will be released as soon as its finished, on MODdb.com says that NS will be finished real soon perhaps maybe even this weekend, is that true?

    Okay, I know it can be annoying, but come on guys.  I don't want to see anymore vigilante talk and shunning of new members.  Obviously people can and should read the faq, but that's no reason to flame right off the bat.

    Kindly point them in the right direction, and if they start calling you names or whatever, give the Mod's a ring and let us handle it.  You're not helping out all that much, and don't think you're earning brownie points either.

    Yeah, i dont think a lot of people here are being very newbie friendly at all. I mean cmon the guys are exited about the mod and they just want some info. Not all of us use the search feature and the button doesnt really stand out from the forum layout so its hard to notice it if youre not looking for it.

    Give the guy a break, if you dont want to answer to a "when is it done?" post then DONT REPLY. No need to flame them, just let the people who feel helpful do it in a calm, civilised and more importantly, FRIENDLY manner.

    Thanx for defending the newbs yo, i a preciate it. i run a internet gaming zone in Southern California called TheDreamZone or for short tdz, and i plan to have this mod on every computer so ppl can explore a lil more then just CounterStrike CounterStrike CounterStrike. I wanna see this game big, so im doing my part to help out. i like team play mods, i wish we all can see them in CAL or CPL some day.

    the n00ber, (and thnx again for defendin)  <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    This honestly has to be the worst thread I've seen in a long time. Guys, he's new 'round here. Give him a break. Some people don't know about things like 'Search' and how forums work, or how the development process of a FREE MOD works.

    They're used to buisnesses having set dates months in advance. Give them a break!

    I'm getting pretty close to getting people temporarily banned for being so incredibly hostile towards newbies. So what if the question has been asked a billion times... Welcome them to the forums, and POLITELY point them in the direction of the FAQs. If you really want them to read the FAQs, don't even answer the question, just politely say "Go look over here..." or something.

    Everyone needs to calm down.

    Yes.  I have to admit that when I saw the post count I was working myself up a bit, but when I saw other people's reactions I was honsetly shocked.  Serioulsy,  he was making a sensible intorduction and you really messed up.  Also you'll notice that the ones saying the really bad things were pretty new round here themselves....

    Anyway, welcome to the Forums, EnsignMunro, I hope that you can ignore all the idiots that have been flaming you and hopefully make a name for yourself here <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    The way I see it is, if you were a guest in someones house and a newer guest came in asking a question that's already been asked a thousand times I figure you would use enough common sense to not attack them with insults and flames.  This enviroment is no different.  We are guests, we can either be helpful or let the moderators handle it.  No  point in getting hostile, we're all awaiting the mod anxiously aren't we?  Eh, but what do I know, I'm just a silly newb.
  • GibbyGibby Join Date: 2002-04-26 Member: 518Members
    Geez guys.

    If you visit a popular message board daily, or even more frequently, and intend and expect never to see the same question twice, you're delusional.

    Message boards are created for a few reasons.  One, is a fast and simple way to get a question answered.  I'm sure that we all don't go wild on our peers or family IRL when they ask the same thing more than once.  

    What may be obvious to you, or any who has been here for a while and knows how it works, is not obvious to every newb who sees the site and pops in the boards to ask a few questions.  Not everyone surfs the entire site first, and I can garuntee that most of us never use the 'search' option before posting every single thing on a message board.  We assume that if it's common knowledge, we'd know it.  Point is, lay off.  The question will be asked again, and again.  If you don't want to see the same thing over and over, don't come to the forums.  I mean, every little detail of NS has already been talked to death and the game's not even out.  There's not that much more to post about, or talk about.  At least we still have newbs to educate, who haven't seen every screenshot or read every post.  I say, welcome them with open arms and be glad that there are indeed players coming here to learn more, instead of jumping in from CS and making the game a PITA for serious players when it comes out.

    People, please.  There is no reason for any of you to be flaming people or acting hostile to someone who asks when the game will be done.  I'm shocked at some of you, and disturbed by the blatant hypocrisy of others of you.  They're interested in the game, and if they want to ask a community that they hope will be friendly, then that's their own perogative.  <i>Let them.</i>  If you're so disturbed by the 'when's the release date' posts, ignore them.  Again, not a single one of you has any legitimate reason to attack someone for simply being interested in the mod.

    I will not tolerate any more attacks like these, and I hope to never see anything like this again.

  • RobRob Unknown Enemy Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 25Members, NS1 Playtester
    There, 3 or your 5 moderators have spoken, and I'm sure if the other two had a chance, they would, too.

    I think we've got the message across.  Let's call this a learning experiance and move on.  No more hostility guys.
