[edit]How does the voting system work? Does it offer a violent and animated death (ala <u>electrocution!?!?!</u>) How about the voting system itself?[/edit]
Wow! Great Job! <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
CAUSE I SURE DON'T! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!11
What is this suppose to be? Commander can control the voice com?
/me licks his hard drive
The playtesters play whenever the server's up, and enough of us feel like getting together to play a game, which generally happens many of the 7 days each week. Code updates, meanwhile, generally only happen every week (generally, mind you, as this RC6a bit came last night after the RC6 on Friday). This is because it usually takes that long to have a meaningful change in the code base to warrant an update. There's no point in updating to fix minor bugs that don't really affect gameplay.
But isn't the NS server up 24/7?
LIES!! ALL LIES!!!
Yeah, patches usually come on Fridays. Every now and then we get a quick update to fix an unforseen bug, and sometimes we'll get a "minipatch" on Wednesdays. Playtesting during the week is hard, though... People have obligations that either conflict directly or force them to go to bed early, and most of our European testers are SOL since it's already midnight or later (for them) when we *start* testing.
Another step towards the first coming of <dramatic pause> NS.
