PM Hambone or Elven Thief to find out definitively.
This is so true tbh and it's a shame that the original vets that took it seriously are now associated with **** like the ones you describe.
Saw a guy I knew from as far back as NS1.03 (not seen him since the latter part of 2.01) on a server recently and he had a vet tag so I jokingly said "hey *playersname* I see they will let anyone be a vet these days"
All I got back was a torrent of abuse from him and his vet mates <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> and got told that I was jelous I didn't have a tag and that I should get some "skills" like them if I wanted one ROFL. The all stacked marines and started losing then started quitting <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
How, exactly? Veteran status dosn't entitle you to earlier builds or anything, not anymore.
BTW, what's your definition of "all the time" anyway? I idle findnsscrim 12/7, and I have logs dating back 2 months. I did a search. Did spyders show up? no. Personally, I don't think clans who scrim even 5 times a week deserve veteran status. If you can't scrim more then once a day, you are probably not very dedicated, and chances are you will fall inactive. Veteran status should be granted to truly active clans, not clans that play pub together and "schedule" scrims.
But....but...your a vet....does that make you a nub too?

On topic though, it isn't really worth it now, because like what ThE HeRo said, there are some nub clans who register and wel....I think there's too many of them and well....
Anyway, with the beta going public, there's no additional benefits anymore apart from the nifty icon you get next to your name, but I think the vet program is closed <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Ran across one veteran player in a random pub, he was both the worst skulk I have ever seen and the worst example of sportsmanship as well.
Im tired and angsty today, but the veteran program needs quality control.
but the sportmanship thing, he should lose it :\
Took the words right out of my mouth...

So that WAS you! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Just remove all 'new' vets, fire up a tourney after some more beta's and give icons to the top-10 clans.
so is there a way to get a vet or not?
P.S. we also amture and not newbs

By the time that the ATI tourny actually takes place, Dell computers will carry Radeon 9800 Pros as standard equipment.
I understand to a small degree its use in lieu of a private beta, but then I also view that the private beta should be given to the consties only and not vets (disclosure policy: I am neither a constie nor a vet). To that end, I'm not even sure the value of having ingame icons at all except in the case of server admins and game developers. Even then its questionable. Why not just get rid of all the fuss and hassle and simply get rid of most of the icon classes and disband altogether the vet program and any other program that bascially adds no needed form or function to the game or community.
Dedicated clanners shouldn't really need to have an icon by their name to let everyone know how good or dedicated they are.... that's what participation and success at well known competitions will do for you. Any decent news site dedicated to a single game (and sometimes multiple games) will post results of the larger competitions out there. And if you aren't good enough to qualify for those competitions, then join the crowd of the other thousand or so clans that could really care less for the recognition. Being in a clan (at least for me) is a goal in and of itself... it is a bunch of guys (and girls) that I am very close to and enjoy playing with (ingame and IRL), who play a multitude of games, and are generally dedicated to gaming in general and its communities and communities values (disclosure policy: my clan readily participates in politics on the local, state, national, and international level). We generally could care less about being the best at any one game... that's just laughable and I pity the soul who strives for that.
Pubs mean nothing, yet they are by far the majority of the NS servers out there.
