gawd I wanna playtest NS D:
I admit, playing ns is fun, but there is a high responsibility that comes with the entire testing job. No current playtester is a playtester just because he wants to play ns.
We'd spent ages on-line and in person discussing how to tweak and change it, playing devil's advocate with each other's ideas. We'd then play it for one session (1 ~ 2 hours) and discuss what worked, what didn't, tweak and change, play again etc.
It took about a month, and this was just a simple pen'n'paper RPG. The best bit was seeing how changes we'd made improved the gameplay, thats the satisfaction you get from Pt'ing, not just playing the game itself.
Of course this was just a little RPG. The NS PTs get to see changes and tweaked they help make enjoyed by thousands of people, which is probably quite nice <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
This is no offense to sYn, I've played alongside a few, fair do's, but we don't need another 'celebrity clan' situtation, where every newb between here & Khazakistan tries to get into sYn, and mentions them all the time, bleh bleh bleh.
I'm sure the guys are great, but a clan like that sooner causes more disruption to a community that it makes harmony. (And it <b>does</b> eventually tend to give that 'better than thou' attitude to some players who are part.)
Not saying I want to playtest (though I do) but TBH I wouldn't have the time to dedicate to playtesting NS that is required and deserved by this fine mod. I AM happy however to set the server up with whatever is required for testing at any stage of the development, and I don't mind getting nothing in return.
nonetheless, PM me if an extra server is required (it's in the UK)

At least thats what we were told!
If replacements are needed they will (as in the past) come from:
1) respectable clans (they have used some CS clans for testing before)
2) Insightful, intelegent, and collected forum/IRC regs who often post useful things
IE:
read the FAQs, help people out, don't complain, don't flame the newbs, and don't ask to be a PT.
The reason why atleast some of the PTs are now Mods (coil) is due to these exact traits.
In other words
I got no chance ;D
Clear?

That, of course, is <i>if</i> new PT's are selected.
And everybody keeps saying Sauron is the <b>bad</b> guy. I'ld be unhappy too if some hairy little **** stole my "World Domination Ring Beta 3.2".
Damned dirty Hobbits.
