Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that our donation system has been formally announced and launched. It's called the <b>Constellation</b>. Of course, anyone that has already donated $20 or more is part of this.

Please don't feel like you have to donate to be a part of the community. NS will always be free, and we always want you to play, no matter what. Donation is totally optional so I don't want any guilt.

    The Constellation program is the one talked about earlier where if you donate 20 dollars or more, you get an authicon by your name in all servers?

    What about us Canadians who don't have PayPal OR American dollars?

    Berger: Yes.

    WUbba#3: How can you not have PayPal? It's an on-line service that allows payment in several non-American currencies.

    Well, I sent this in PM already, but since it's kinda important...

    On the page for the constellation program, you show the user how to get their wonID. The problem is, you did it on a LAN, which is not the true wonID. To get the online wonID, they <b>must</b> be in an online game, not just LAN. Better fix this before too many send in the wrong ID's <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> *edit* - Nice, fixed!

    Now, once I get a job also...

    Seriously, this will mean that people finally stop mistaking my guide icon for a server op. Instead they'll start mistaking me for being a cash contributor. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If it seemed NS had a long future i'd pay $20 happily.

    The only place I have interest in is the NS clan scene that's fading away.

    What do you want me to say?

    Food, quite possibly. heheh. Its pretty hard for V1.1 to come rolling out those doors if Flayra doesnt have the calories running through his body to tickle those ivor . . plastic keys. I'm sure it will be put to good use, it explains that it will go to Site Maintenance and other things which are a service to our good old NS community.

    Guys, <b>please</b> don't feel bad about not donating. Like I mentioned in the Constellation section, NS development will continue regardless of donations. Donations just help speed development and make running things less of a financial burden (web site, tools, voice work). If you have money to spare and want to actively support NS, this is how to do it, but otherwise, just have fun and play!

    You have been posting for not even a month, Flayra (who is -probably- a little more active in the NS community than you) has been posting for well over a year.

    Nice way to make money. Quick, simple scam. Especially being trusted in the Half-Life community. You'll get a lot of money for the project. I hope it goes to nice usage Flayra.

    The check is in the mail.

    In the good way of it actually being 'in the mail'. Not the bad way of it not being 'in the mail' quite as much as it could possibly be 'in the mail'.
