<div class="IPBDescription">Finally a mod team with maturity...</div>Finally a mod that not only looks stylish, but with a mature attitude too! The use of Valve's engine is a stunning triumph, while the website is accessible and friendly, each word written with a considered elegance that is often lacking from many mod making teams.
Thanks for all the hard work on our behalf; Consider me converted. From here on I will spread the word.
PS. I was wondering -- does some of your inspiration come from the little known game Incubation by Blue Byte?

But on the subject of grammar, you should venture into our splendid irc channel sometime. The server is irc.gamesnet.net, and the channel is #naturalselection. Perhaps your grammar can rub off on some of the, well, <i>less educated</i> of our followers.
-'bozo
P.S. Molec or Spyder: Off-topic?
I'd also like to point out that the English arn't actually that well mannered its just that darned filter changed my post <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
Those models look amazing. I think I need to sit down.....
PS: I thought I might get flamed for that one <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> of course on less mannered websites i'd now be in intensive care....
B) Look around <a href="http://www.readyroom.org" target="_blank">rr.org</a> and <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org" target="_blank">ns.org</a>.
C) Wow, looks like you've already done those.
D) C wasn't an order was it?
E) Yes Spyder, i've stolen your thunder again, although i'm sure if you talk to Zeus he'll be happy to lend you some.
I'm sure you've already checked out the <a href="http://www.readyroom.org/" target="_blank">readyroom</a> and the NS <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/ns_home.htm" target="_blank">main page</a>, so your next assignment is to drop into the <a href="http://www.readyroom.org/jirc/jirc.html" target="_blank">chat room</a>. Make sure you tell everyone what country you're from, because people in the chat room are from everywhere.
I hope this helps.
/me jumps up and down, shouting "Blarg!" and thumping his chest
well?
Pardon my lack of general knowledge and I will be sure to examine every nook and cranny of the site.
I don't use big words to confuse everyone, just to boost my ego. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
As a matter of fact, I loved Incubation. I'm not sure how much of an influence it was on NS though. Offhand, I can't think of anything in it that is in NS, but maybe if I try hard enough. The list of games that NS has been compared to (generally not unfairly) includes:
- Gloom (mod for Quake 2)
- Starcraft
- Aliens vs. Predator
- Space Hulk
- Advanced Space Crusade (OK, I compared it to this)
- Counter-strike
- Half-life
- Tribes (I/II)
- Battlezone (I/II)
and now
- Incubation
Welcome, Wintermute.
Im looking forward to experiencing this mod and I feel a little bad that I have come so late in the development - i'm sure most of you have been drooling in anticipation for ages. I would like to make a suggestion however.
It seems odd that I have only just heard of this mod, considering that I often while away the wee hours scouring the net for inspirational new creations such as this. I think that adding your mod to the list at planethalflife.com (http://www.planethalflife.com/community/hosted/mods.shtm) may be good advertising as I believe that it is not currently there (please correct me if im wrong).
I havent double checked this post, and im very sorry if it seems a bit 'off' in any way - its not meant to be, its just its 22:54 here and i've been up for 47hrs straight working on some code. Thx for the warm welcome all, i'm off to beddy-byes to dream of commanding a squad of marines who probably won't understand a word im saying...
Welcome aboard my fine English friend. May you enough your stay.
In order to have a site listed on that particular page, one must have a site <i>hosted</i> by PlanetHalf-Life. While this may give NS a bigger audience, it would also require banner ads and conformation to the PHL guidelines. I'm not sure what the feeling is among the other team members about his.
*poink*
I'm surprised Flayra didn't, but he really should be focused on the Playtesting right now, so I don't blame him.
Anywho, 'ello, welcome to the forums 'n stuff.
Bob's in that corner. Don't cross over the circle painted around him, or he'll pin your foot to the floor, and gnaw through your leg.
<brag>And part of the reason the IRC folk aren't as inclined to use grammar is because I don't hang out there. After all, I did get a perfect Verbal PSAT score.</brag>

So did I.
I'm thinking of changing my sig to the "society of english majors" thing. What do you think?
And I love your avatar, SS2 is a very nice game...
Meaning I have no issues with you... congratulations <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
