Yeah, we were talking about how neat it would be if the general forumites and anyone in the comunity could just join a server with a certain password which would be given out to them and have a little release party for NS <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

Mostly because we all know that all servers will probably be full when NS comes out, so everyone around here and IRc can have a space in the coolest server for NS.

Please pitch in if you can <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

Depending on if NS is going to be released while I am on Vacation, I wouldn't want to pay for a server I can't play on, I will put in a couple bucks.

alius42

it would be for a month too, but we could take the pw off eventually.

How exactly would we get the 2 dollars to you?  I only have a bank acount and no credit card.

alius42

Pay-pal.

Longtooth

Hows that work?

Please dont forget about this thread guys, its very important if us forumers want to get together and play our very first game of NS with friendly people <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Not to mention you wouldnt have to wait to get connected to the NS servers when its first released(im sure that will happen with a mod such as this  one) so chip in and we can have our internet release party  <!--emo&:asrifle:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':asrifle:'><!--endemo-->

have you seen the <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?act=Members" target="_blank">member list</a> ...?

You honestly think if the pw was released on the forums, it'd be possible to just hop right into the server ...?

Hell, I'd give up $20.

alius42

the password would be pmed to select people.

Ok, but people who aren't PM'ed the password might not be too pleased.  Just remember that.

and the selection will be based on...........?

Yeah, but there are still alot Awaiting Authorisation/have 0 posts and most likely left.

Most likely my first NS experience will be: A buncha people running around looking at the map (Including the marines) and killing people along the way.

Of course the way things go it'll be a Marine massacre. -_-

It would be people who are more into the community, like people that post and are on irc the whole time. But I'm actually not sure this is going to happen unless I find a good host.

I think this is crazy, there is no way that we can fit everyone in one server.  And releasing this idea on the froums was even more crazy/silly.  When NS is released I plan on playing it with clanmates on a, probably, public server.  When the people who dont know anything about NS join, its your first chance to give something back to the NS team.

alius42

yeah true, i guess its going to be a public server then. I've been having the same thoughts. Anyone wanna still split the price? Just up for the first month.
