I just played one of the new mods, and I was discriminated as one of those "NS nubs"! Congratulations NS community, we are so huge that people are being biased to us! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Can't we include a manual inside the download or something, because i do have seen quite a few NSPlayers, or PIERULESHAHA (1st Time) type names, but they just seem to be happy being wrong, not so much asking questions and things.
Hmmm, maybe they just didn't know how to speak <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I looked into setting up a 'Newbie' sever. For new players and players that are more interested in good, fun games than their kill count. Basically I'd install the unchained chambers plugin and a random team plugin.
However after looking at hosting prices, I'd have to set up a donation thing and I'm not sure how many people would be interested in that. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I "have" a server that's currently running under 195.141.109.22:27025
I don't know how much the server can take, though, because there are websites hosted on it also and if the game server takes too much resources, it has to be shut down or password protected (rules of the people hosting it).
But if there's a need for a inofficial noob / fun server with easy atmosphere, I'd be in.
I don't know about overseas gamers, though. It's situated in Berne, Switzerland and has a good connection (on a Sunrise Backbone @ 100 MBit), but I heard that even people from Germany have problems with pings. We'll see about that.
If you care for a game, just join in. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
maybe when they mentioned "simple" they were talking about Combat mode. Which is the worst of the two game modes and the one I personally dont think new people should play first. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

In these days you don't have to protect the gamers from the newbies, you have to protect the newbies from the gamers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be absolutely awesome if there would be some kind of a subcommunity with certain servers where you KNOW that it's fun to play (with code of conduct etc).

What Flayra should do is set up the right click -> Manual like DoD has. Go to your games list and right click DoD. I never actually looked at the Manual, cause I know how to play, but thats what NS should have. Then, at the end of the installer pop up a message saying "If you are new, it is highly reccomended you read the manual. In your games list, Right click Natural-Selection, and select Manual."
The updated the picture and the text, now look at it.
<b><span style='color:green'>Natural Selection</span></b> blends first-person combat with real-time strategy. It features intense 'marines vs aliens' teamplay, where one marine can become 'Commander'. The <b><span style='color:green'>Commander</span></b> plays from a top-down strategic perspective and leads live players. The <b><span style='color:green'>aliens</span></b> can evolve upgrades like Cloaking and Scent of Fear, and can change lifeforms to run on walls, fly, and even devour marines whole. (Ohhhh my!) Ns has <b><span style='color:green'>atmospheric</span></b> indoor sci-fi environments full of steam and smoke, and features orchestral music from Jeremy Soule. (who is that again?)

__Edit Yeah, didn't mean to put cs:cz first, it's meant to be second behind CS.
I like it better than the old one.
