<div class="IPBDescription">(worth one hundred billion points.)</div> Hey everyone,
I noticed that Natural Selection was mentioned yet again on the front page of <a href='http://penny-arcade.com' target='_blank'>Penny Arcade</a>.
PA has mentioned NS before, but it is good to see these guys continue to support it. This kind of publicity can only help the NS community, bringing in more players and fans. I would love to continue rambling on here, but I think Tycho from PA says exactly what I want to:
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->...with a Natural Selection built on modern technology. I wish those guys the best of luck, and my affection for them is so great that I would perform any service, even unto preordering their nascent title. Such is my dedication.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Keep up the excellent work Flayra & the dev team!

It also emulates Aliens, which is worth (in the carefully tuned schema I employ to rank things) one hundred billion points.
They’ve announced that they’re planning to make a go at making a business of it, with a Natural Selection built on modern technology. I wish those guys the best of luck, and my affection for them is so great that I would perform any service, even unto preordering their nascent title. Such is my dedication.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Awesomesauce.
(we hope)
If I had a spare £30k kicking around, then you could sign me up for the investor program.
Hmm, now that's another thing to add to my "If I won the lottery, I would..." list.
Give Mr Cleveland all the money he needs to ensure that NS2 is WHAT THE PEOPLE DEMAND!!! (read: includes Babblers, something I was not around to witness...)
Rest assured. If I won the lottery, you would be on the receiving end of some proverbial "phat cash"...

Until then, we can just keep giving Flay ramen money.
I'll probably just start sending UWE a good $40 a week or something.
Congrats, Tycho's always had interesting output about things, and always brought a side to the table you didn't see.
He's very clairvoyant in many topics, and I have a load of respect for him.. but this, this is outrageously cool. Thanks PA guys.

[UNSERIOUSNESS]
See, right now, I am going through a dilema. Do I buy me a horn, or do I give Flay a few thousand?
If I get a horn, I could play on the streets and make some money. However, it could take a while, because who plays a tuba on the streets.
If I give Flay monay, it could give him some funding for NS2, ensuring me to be able to play the game. Of course, it wouldn't be that $50k he wants, but it would be a start.
Maybe if I asked the School of Music to give me a cash advance on my grants and scholorships for my entire college career, then I would have $12k to give him. My schooling is mostly paid for already....hmm...

[/EDIT]
And yay for spreading the word on NS. Advertising ftw!
[EDIT](I was just making humor before I say how cool it is to have other groups with fanbase spread the word. As much as I love NS, I love my schooling first <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Sorry to worry you Nem0. Plus, I tried that when I was trying to buy a horn earlier in the semester. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)[/EDIT]
Destroyer, if you're serious (and we had such proposals before, so I'm wary), in a word: No. Don't you dare.
There is no reason whatsoever to clog your very personal future with a bet on UWE's success when there are financially significantly more secure entities capable of that.

I forgot that written humor needs to be tagged. Sorry man. I edited my post to fix that. I'll still donate a large amount of money if I win the lotto, that I'll promise.
