*ntfm* Ns Server Needs Your Help

<div class="IPBDescription">The leading UK NS server.</div> I did have a long spiel about the server and funding, but I've just deleted it and instead only wish to say:

If you are a regular player on the NTFM UK NS server (ns1.muppetking.com:27015, or the small friendly CS server on port 27020), then you need to know about the financial situation at NTFM. Please <a href='http://www.muppetking.com/forums' target='_blank'>Visit the www.muppetking.com forums</a>, you don't have to register there to read the details (you do if you wish to post).

Thanks for your time, and if you aren't a regular on the server, or don't wish to contribute to the further running of this 5* rated NS server, please don't post here.

Thank you,

Roobubba (on behalf of the NTFM admin team)

    Well, I don't have any money, but if I meet someone who does I'll send them in your direction. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I already posted on the muppetking forums about what i can do for ntfm <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    but i wanted people to know that *No Time For Muppet* servers are the best ones around.
    Great pings and a lot of superb games because of the good teamwork. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'll drag my old bones back to the ns forums for this one.

    The ntfm crew is trying to contact people who don't visit the ntfm forums, or play under aliases on the ntfm server. We're trying to make clear to each and every regular player that a rental server needs funding.

    So, basically if you play on the ntfm ns (or cs) server, and you'd like to do so in the future, we're asking you if you can miss the price of 1 can of soda each week to keep the gaming experience going.

    And might I add that according to my knowledge you don't need to register to make a post on the ntfm forums. This was changed recently, and I'm pretty sure the changes are still intact.

    Let me repeat Roo's words again, if you don't have anything constructive to say, don't post. I'm sure there are people out there who've had a bad experience on the server, and I'm very sure there are numerous amounts more who've had good ones. Please don't turn this into a good/bad server thread, thank you.

    *No Time For Muppets* is exactly what the name implies.
    There simply is no room for lamers and bad teamplayers, and this results in plenty of quality games. I will send some money your way once I figure out how to get it over to you... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Thanks Ziggy++...

    There are innumerate ways of actually sending your money to us, and these are all described (along with what you get in return) on the muppetking website and forums - <a href='http://www.muppetking.com/forums' target='_blank'>What are you waiting for?</a>.

    The NTFM server is really the best server I've played on so far... too bad I can only play on weekends. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
    I know I should donate something myself but I can't right now :/ But you should get something from me sooner or later...

    (Pst. I know you have good intentions, but please don't state whether NTFM is great or suck. It will only lead to a good vs. bad server thread and *BAM* lockage. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    Below ^NuT^? I don't believe it.....

    Tbh roobs and yoclan are about equal, but roobs doesn't have those FOUR reverved slots.... grrr......

    I will certainly donate as soon as my monetary situation turns around, i.e, when I start to make some. Im currently paying for driving lessons with birthday money and when that runs out i'm screwed.

    Cough up lads! NTFM is like goin down to the local (but without alcohol and that 'orrid smokey smell) - its friendly, informal fun, whilst still being competitive.

    There's also a regular who goes by the name -=]BCK[=- Seraph. U want to go on the server just to see this bloke play. Amazing.

    I think that link Ziggy posted ranks servers by the number of players that are on the server at a given time, which is a pretty damn stupid way of operating.

    Anyway, as soon as I get my student loan through I'll send a chunk of it off to the server fund. This could take some time, however, as my LEA is retarded as repeatedly makes errors on everything.

    p.s. real subtle Seraph <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, I couldn't believe it either... AFAIK ^NuT^ is the only server where players get kicked because they're too good in the eyes of the admins... I'll never come back there again.

    If they do (which I severely doubt) I have never seen it happen.

    I've only ever seen people get kicked from NTFM for acting like idiots

    I'm playing there for a long time and I can assure you they never kicked anyone for having a "too good" kills/deaths ratio.

    Here we go just as predicted.. down the slippery slope. Anyone that has been banned or kicked from the server can argue about it on the forums or the e-mail or the irc channel details of which are liberally spread about the consgreet and any kick/ ban messages you might have got.

    If other servers are better or worse isn't up for discussion either. It appears you were all unable to resist though so if a mods watching, please<span style='color:red'><b> lock </b></span>this. Further discusion/flame grilling can be done on our *NTFM* forums.
