Well, you should just be worried when it gets to +8. That's the super-secret Moderator summon spell. We call it 'Edit Post Vengeance'. At that point, we begin to play hardball. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
*Puts on shifty eyes* U kno, if you talk to the dwarf king and then go the aqualius wearing the gold helmet, and smack the eagle, then sell it to a guy in googamaloosh, you can get the almighty Sword Of Banning, +13.
A better chance at WHAT, though? <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
Seriously though, Flayra has basically made his decisions as to who's playtesting and who's not, I'm not sure if there are going to be more recruited later on or not, but it'll be most likely based on who has a good grasp of what playtesting is as opposed to who begs for it more.
I guess I have to spam the boards to get noticed <!--emo&:angry:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'><!--endemo-->
--edit-- that was meant to be a joke but after I reread it, it sounded to harsh. Just keep in mind its a joke.
spamming will only get you banned from these forums, as discussed in the other thread, not every1 can be a playtester, and I wouldn't mailbomb Flayra, it won't help anyway, just keep in mind that since they're playtesting the mod is very near to completion, just a little more patience <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

Flayra should release a 'waiting list' on whos next in line to be added to the betatest team <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

hmmmm i dont care if i get to be beta tester or not... i rather want a real good looking,good playing game ready to kick some alien but on than have to fix all those small things (and big things) and i trust flayra and all the other beta testers to do a good job(fix all small wrongs) so we get a great game instead...so keep the good work up...
Ooo, I don't like the idea of a waiting list. Then, if that person starts making a complete idiot out of themselves, they'd have to be removed and all that... and if someone comes and joins the forums and is totally -brilliant- at whatever Flayra is looking for, that messes up the waiting list too.
As for spamming the forums... did you notice one of the playtesters has less than 50 posts?
i dont like the idea either sry to say.... and how do you spam in the forums? if i had, i didnt mean to mr molecular <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->
Hell, I'm a forum bum, and I have under 600 posts. I'm willing to bet I spend more hours a day logged into these forums than most of you stay awake, however.
*snicker* Jokes are fine. And -I- knew it was a joke. Others sometimes don't, but they slowly realize it over time.
I just wanted to point out that one of the playtesters has -very- little in the way of actual posts. Under even -30- I believe... though I could be wrong about that number now. He was under 30 a couple days ago.
Moleculor, if want to stop dancing around the obvious, just click the members button at the top of the page and look at the people in the playtester group (developers and super administrators also had access to the playtest). You'll see that there are a number of playtesters without even a single post. Though I really don't see what the point of all that is.
I would love to playtest for this mod,but I know you guys are full at this moment and I will be the last of the list probly if thair will be any more added,so I will wait for it.(or for the mod to be released to the public)
But if I do somehow get chosen It would be my 1st time playtesting for anything really. (Yes I know,I am new to the forum so my chances are 6 billion to 1 here)
Moleculor, that was 14 posts, lol, quite a small number indeed, I've never even seen him on the forum before <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

I swear Flayra, I truly respect you ...
I don't think I could deal with this kind of stuff everyday and even in my e-mails probably 10 fold ...
Naaaahhh...
Scott, as it even says in the FAQ, if you want in, post INTELLIGENT posts, and ask in email. Not make intelligent emails and ask in posts.
Seriously though, Flayra has basically made his decisions as to who's playtesting and who's not, I'm not sure if there are going to be more recruited later on or not, but it'll be most likely based on who has a good grasp of what playtesting is as opposed to who begs for it more.

There are users who aren't even board members (such as the Iron Lore crew).
