<div class="IPBDescription">if your new, dont' post until.....</div> you read this.

well, maybe not in this newbie friendly New Players section, but definitely in the general discussion and strats areas.

these are just things I"VE noticed that gets poor new players severely flamed. Try to avoid them. and vets, please add.

1) it's Turrets, not Turrents.
2) don't start a "Do you think NS is balanced?" thread
3) don't compare CS to NS


nice things to maybe keep in mind
1) try to space out your post, i hate reading a 100 line paragraph.
2) try and check for spelling please. it can be a bugger to see a zillion misspellings.

hmm, thought there were quite a few more than that, well, when more come to me, i'll add them here.

    Also, read the FAQs and use the search engine before you post a "has anyone thought of this" topic.

    Here are some things which have been discussed to death, and may be met with hostility and\or cries of <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=22981' target='_blank'>"YOU HAVE ACTIVATED THE FLAME SHIELD!"</a>:

    *Flamethrowers.
    *What order to get sens\def\move chambers in.
    *Whether or not sensory chamber or movement chambers are better than defense chambers.
    *Muzzle flash obscuring vision.
    *Skulk\lerk bites obscuring vision; "why are they in their mouth when the model shows them outside their mouth".

    Other than that, check the FAQs.

    It should be a rule that you try just lerking (!) and reading posts for at least a week on any given forum before you start posting. I think its pretty clear to anyone who bothers to flip through a page or two in each forum what topics are to be avoided at all costs.
    Hell, I've been lerking round here for months before I finally decided to register and start posting. (the downside being that someone already registered my regular nick - Incarnate - and they haven't even posted <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    It's actaully called lurking. You lurk around places. LERK is an alien class.
