    I don't think it can properly be called the BUS anymore, since it's just been officially announced. Now we have to call it <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><b>BS</b></span>, or Big System.

    judging from the name, will it be an official steam game? Will there be an online stats system?

    I dont really know whether it would effect gameplay, but it sure as hell sounds cool <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    we have to take into account that its optional when guessing....


    HMMM, a stats system wouldnt be optional unless you signed up for it or something.
  • DaJMastaDaJMasta Join Date: 2005-01-10 Member: 34750Members, Constellation
    take a gander at UT2004's stats system. Make an id and login, supporting servers will track, others wont.

    BUS = Babblers United in Strength. They are adding Babblers! The gorge is their nexus! I knew it!

    pfft, i think this is a record for bus topics. -sigh-
    these things are getting boring really quick, people making parodies, jokes, then some being serious, etc. Just ways to up people's post counts. I'm very selective about where I post :/

    Its called Nexus, whopdee. They announced 3.1, we already knew that though. So a new name is worth making a post over? When we get some REAL information, THEN lets tear it apart <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Anyone else ever have the thought that the big <b>Unanounced</b> System will be... well... unannounced? Perhaps it will be thrown in secretly for all of us to find. Maybe the reason it is taking soooo long is that they are waiting for NS to be official on steam so they can casually stream it down to you?

    Just my conspiracy theory...

    [Inserts obligatory BUS joke]

    It's public. The Unknown Worlds government will pay for it, while you just give a penny or two.

    Mabye a severed finger to feed the gorge, yano, to keep them happy and fat.

    Public BUSes! Wow! Who would have thought of such a corny thing!

    Omg did he intentionally forget the 's' in the company's name (Unknown World<b>s</b> Entertainment ™)? Does it mean there are two distinct companies and that we will never see the feature in our game?111

    Also, if it was not so big after all, will we have to refer to it as just the AS (Announced System)?

    Too many questions, I'll just wait for 3.2.

    eeee....i havent seen anything about bus being canceled.Maybe theres a Nexus system and a bus transit system.

    EDIT: whaha i think i got a lead on what nexus is.a little copy paste: Nexus
    The Latin term "Nexus" means, in a UK legal context: "connection."
