<div class="IPBDescription">Was: Beta test/release party</div>Being the brilliant genius I am, I had this cool idea we could maybe do the day of the release, or for a beta test.

Since no one has played this mod (cept for the playtesters and the dev. team) I think it would be awesome that on the day of the release MonsE and Flarya hold a draft roster in IRC. They would choose people based on their internet personalitys, ideas from the forums, coolest avatars, etc. etc.

Anyway, I think any kind of IRC party the day of the release would be sweet, so that all the trash talkin forum junkies can mix it up with the 1337 h4x0rs.

    An IRC party is a definite.  I don't think we'll try to restrict access to people though.  When we're ready for a public release, the code should be very stable and ready for prime time.

    I don't mind if it's late so long as it's on a day I don't have college before/after... Saturday night then... or hey, Friday night would probably be doable too if i had a nap.

    N00b question, but how does get an IRC thing going?  I guess it has to something with MIRC right?
  • TzarconTzarcon Join Date: 2002-02-28 Member: 259Members
    well Hida, first of all, run mIRC. In the window called "status" (which is the only window you have before you connect) type in these exact phrases:

    /nick Hida_Tsuzua
    /server irc.gamesnet.net
    /join #naturalselection

    after you do that, you should be able to chat with us in the IRC room.
  • MartMart Origin of SUYF Join Date: 2002-02-26 Member: 248Members
    Yes, and there waiting for you will be lots of us happy, fun, never bitter or malicious people.
  • Hida_TsuzuaHida_Tsuzua Lamarck&#39;s Heir Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 79Members, NS1 Playtester
    Ohh to chat.  Heck I do that all the time.  It just sounded like you somehow got to play NS though MIRC (or from other mentions of IRC other times at other forums) once it was up.  My mistake.

    I personaly hope there will never be a "small beta release" to people in any form.  Simply because I'm hardly ever on my computer anymore.  Sure, I may be in the IRC chanel, but I'm not using the damn thing.  I'd hate to miss that kind of opportunity ...

    I think Flayra should just e-mail/send a PM to the people he'd want to play it early (or for more beta testers).

    *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*

    aww .. who am I kidding ..

    what's so great about Rei??

    She's got the personality of a trashcan for crying out loud <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    From my (limited) knowledge of Rei, she seems to be a female Squall (I know she predates the loser but Squall is a better example).  Then again, I'm going to watch the whole series when my friend gets his DVDs back from someone else.
  • Silver_FoxSilver_Fox Spammer Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 34Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Rei doesn't have the personality of a trashcan.

    She keeps to herself.  She sees human interation being pointless and only getting in the way of piloting the Evangelions.  She's been manipulated since she was created to think that.  Her whole life she was tought to keep to herself and avoid other people thanks to Gendo and maybe Ritsuko.

    I guess you could say she acts like she's shy. She has alot of the characteristics that shyness does.  But if someone ever does talk with her, she will say exacly whats on her mind.

    Basically, I see alot of myself in her, I feel withdrawn like her and I'm a pretty shy person when it comes to human to human interation.  While I dont see human interaction as pointless, I do, like her, hide behind an emotionless "mask".

    I can relate to her and her situation (not so much piloting the Evangelions, fighting the Angels and having the Humans race on my sholders, but close).  I feel alot like she does, if only for different reasons.  Therefore, she is my favorite Anime character to date and I feel very protective of her - even though I know I have no right to be and that she is a "cartoon".

    Fear not though, I hold no ill feelings towards you.  I was just making a joke .. er .. sort of ..

    o_O

    Umm.. which series are you talkin' bout Silver Fox? I'm an Anime n00b (never even watched one series all the way through, except the crap they show on Fox Kids... and only some of that) and I once tried watching Lain all the way through... got distracted, so I never finished. What series is Rei from?
  • Silver_FoxSilver_Fox Spammer Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 34Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    LOL

    moved our little anime discussion eh?
    <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    Well, anyway - Rei is from Neon Genises: Evangelion

    Her full name is Rei Ayanami (or Ayanami Rei I guess)

    There are 26 episodes and 2 movies.  Well, death and rebitrh really isnt a movie per-say.

    The movies are:
    Death and Rebirth
    End of Eva

    Episodes 25 and 26 are the end of the TV series as its happening in the characters minds.  EOE is the end of the series as its happening in The Real World™ - well, at least thats what I gather from it.  Some say EOE ruined NGE.  I personaly dont have an opinion.  I have EOE, buts its subtitled.  Its hard for me to understand whats going on because the subtitling isnt that good.  The dubbed version should be released around July I think.

    I saw EOE and 25, 26 in a row and found them both well done and interesting.
    NGE was never a lighthearted gundamstyle action anime, so I think the end was just right and not 'Gainaxed'. Of course, I also liked SE LAIN, so maybe I'm just a complete jerk.
  • Bob_the_AlienBob_the_Alien Join Date: 2002-01-30 Member: 135Members
    I stayed up and watched the whole series at once so my head is blurried on the details, but isnt rei a clone of shinji's (or however ya spells it) mom? thats kinda strange situation between them if you think about it.

    I kinda agree, she has the personality of a trash can primarily due to the fact shes a clone. If I remember correctly there where more then one clones also when she died. :\

    *note*

    scratch out kinda and add insainly
  • Silver_FoxSilver_Fox Spammer Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 34Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Yes, she is a clone, and yes she was composed of the "stuff" that was left in the Entry Plug when Yui (Shinji's mom) disapeared in the Eva and an Angel.  To say that Rei is 100% of Yui's DNA I think is a little over the top.  There's a huge controversy over it.  I will leave it at that.

    And just because she's a clone, she has to have the "personality of a trashcan"?  Thats a little harsh, dont you think?  Who's to say a clone cant have true feelings?  Also, if she were actually born, I doubt there would be any change in her personality.  Gendo wanted to control her, and if she were a clone or not, she would still act the same way.
