    As far as lore goes, this is the closest we have alongside this video now :)

    http://wiki.unknownworlds.com/ns2/Six_Days_in_Sanjii


    And the rest is kinda created by us, the players on the NS forums, map makers who made storylines for their maps, the fan fiction forums and player stories.

    Yeh, ns1 used to have quite some lore.. I cant remember if 'six days in sanjii' was the only lore.. I can half remember there being more.
    But it had plenty of background info. :)

    Yeah, too bad readyroom.org is down, it had all kinds of stuff backed up as well...

    We are up 20% players so far, in the last 30 days over last month. I hope that keeps going to 100%

    Yep, I already checked that one. Too bad it only archives thumbnails for "Nanites and Bacterium" and "NS in other games" though

    As long as veterans keep helping and being nice to rookies it will only go up, it only takes a few pub stompers to ruin the experience for everyone, remember this.

    Whats the deal with all the smurfs? Like 50% of the green players I see with 5 hive hours are somewhere at the top of the scoreboard every game, juking and strafejumping, corner-checking, RT-defending marine bastards.
    Who even smurfs, who -__-;

    Interestingly part of bry's is still up in the air, but I couldnt find anything in terms of lore, this quickly.
    I didnt really look.

    That was actually awesome, I always wished the maps laid out clues to the story in some cohesive, but not overly-detailed way that would give more structure or motivation to the fan stuff

    I thought I read someone couldn't remember who wrote 6 days originally...
    The original, official "Six Days in Sanjii: Part One" was written by Jeff Paris

    From http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/37376/six-days-in-sanjii

    Yeah pretty cool indeed, that FTP is the longest standing online source for almost anything NS/NS2 related apart from what readyroom.org had

    To be fair, "Nanites and Bacterium" explains about 90% of everything known about NS

    Space orks!

    I made bits of lore and tech stuff up for the unofficial manual (see my steam guide). But nothing like a fan fict. May be i ll start something one day.

    I remember the "third race" thing and a portal being ripped open through which the "space orks" came in that comic..
