    yes it appears they have been chosen, and no they were boadcast that publically.

    From Australia: Clan Hybrid

    disappointing to a couple of other Australian clans. Hell we havent even heard back about it.

    But if they expanded to five countries, and say they took only the top clan, at 10 people per clan thats 50 people. Ooodles.

    Cept I wish they had atleast acknowledged my clans submission.

    <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> got our own servers to " "play" test" as much as we could.

    Grendel has been pretty much overwhelmed with applications (so much for our clanbase shrinking...). As I understand it, the clans are chosen and will be added soon, but nothing official has been put forth yet.

    How are you actually going about picking a clan?

    Is it names out of a hat or who has a good reputation etc?

    To contribute to the thread somewhat:

    <b>Fleetwood</b> are in from the UK.

    I've seen <b>d / y</b> about, the frenchies started testing yesterday. (Do it Yourself)

    Apparently <b>TeamEU</b> (or some of them) were applying (accepted?) for vet status, but i've yet to see any of them around.

    nope ? i wrote them ... and it doesnt mention anything about bhopping because it was meant to be taken out for v1.1 and those rules are designed for v1.1 play (to the best of my knowledge at this moment)

    You say that as if its some sort of evil deed that i'm not going to "admit" to. I'm currently hopping my **** off in the 1.1 test program, and i really don't care what your opinion of Bunnyhopping is :)

    From the UKNSL rules section:

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->These are NOT cheats:

    Bunny hopping/ strafe jumping are not cheats.
    Double sieging, a somewhat "lame" tactic but often unavoidable on some maps where hives are close.
    Using a defence chamber or a low hp marine object (ie NOT a CC) to block lifts, doors, vents is not cheating.
    <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    And the list continues on after. The only mention of BH'ing being a 'cheat' is:

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Silent bunnyhopping is unfortunately a cheat.

    yeah, i dont consider bhopping cheating.. what he did i consider cheating, normal bhop = fine ... extreme bhop over extreme distances is more then a simply bug abuse (i.e. bhopping)

    In an attempt to drag this back on topic (yes, I helped drag it off) I think it would be nice to see precisely who all the veterans and PTs are. It's hard to keep up with ATM.

    From what i hear, it's equally hard for the organisers to keep up, and i think a list of all current vets and PTs is something grendel would love to have as well :)
