<div class="IPBDescription">c'mon and give it up y'all</div> Ok so I'm sitting here at work (custom build computer shop, waitin for xp installs to finish) <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
and I'm wondering "what could i post on the NS forums, cause y'know it's just such a GREAT game and I really appreciate the time and effort the guys on the dev team put into it".

Then *BAM* it hits me, why not make a post showing appreciation to the dev team, cause y'know it's such a GREAT game and I really appreciate the time and effort the guys on the dev team put into it!

So for all you "whiners", "lamers" or "uber 1337 gA|\/|3r5" out there who do nothing 'cept complain how bout we change it and let the guys know how much we appreciate their hard work.

I for one salute you all, NS Dev team, on a Job well done!

Cheers,
Daveyboy

    A great idea. Most of the forums focus on the negative when talking about the game, when it wouldn't even be here if not for the Devs. Let's give 'em a cheer, guys! They've done a great job, after all. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The game might not be perfect for now, but it's in a damn good state for version 1. I am glad someone was able to post and not use the word 'balance' in their post, it just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh ya,

    One more thought <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You know a game HAS to be good when you can't stop thinking about it wherever you are

    It's always in my dreams ("no no NOOOOOOO!!!!! *CHOMPEH*") ("oh CRAP! a MEGA-ONOS!")

    I'd really like to get involved with a team of developers like the NS guys so just to let y'all know I can help....

    Wherever you need help I would LOVE to be of service <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    NS is one of my most favorite mods.
    I love the teamwork, atmosphere, gameplay, everything. It's pretty original, tense, and a lot of fun to play.

    Quite frankly I think these very active threads are a tribute to how much everyone loves ns. Sure some people are whining in a rude manner. But thats just because ns is their only bright spot in life and they are too afraid to leave their computer and go outside and interact with humans because being a whiny brat is the only way they know how to express love and appreciation. It's sad but true <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    But yes, I love the strategy and gameplay and awesome mapping and sweet coding and the intuitive interface and the very detailed skins and the variety of gut wrenching, ambience filled, life or death scenarios that fill this game. GJ ns team.

    I think someone else deserves an award. He has worked hard for over two years to help the mod community, putting up with all our crap and complaints and not getting a dime out of it. I dedicate this to Flayra, just because we already have an Onos of the Week:

    As I've already said, I usually warez anything I want to play, without exception.

    NS is one of the few games I would gladly PAY for to play, even in its semi-new (but still brilliantly polished) state.

    Bravo NS team.

    I was here before NS was out.

    And it still blew me away.

    Anyone remember the "Tales From the Frontlines" Thread? how many pages did it end up being? 190?

    -EDIT- OK 76 but I think they deleted a few pages -EDIT-

    Serious kudos to the dev team... As Ive tried to tell them on many occasions.

    And speaking as a mapper...

    All the offical ns mappers have forever earned my respect and revrence for taking mapping to an entirely new level.

    I have no medal to give but... the game that you guys have made will forever be a badge of pride on your vest.

    I'm so glad to see a thread like this. I was just thinking the other day about how immersive NS has turned out to be. I haven't played anything else in weeks. This game is like nothing else I've ever played. Once I get in, I can't get out for hours.

    I hope Flayra doesn't mind that I blame him every time my girlfriend gets mad at me for sitting in front of my computer. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
