<div class="IPBDescription">We play too you know ...</div> Hey,

Yes, we also play NS in South Africa, and in my opinion are very talented. I've been watching the demo's posted in these forums and I do believe some of our clans will be able to give most of those teams in those demo's a good run.
Unfortuanetly most of our players cannot play on US servers due to lag problems as broadband is a rareity here, however when foreigners play on our servers they manage a 200-300 ping. So if any clans or groups wanna challenge South Africa or one of our clans, we will gladly get a team together if you don't mind playing with those ping's.
I can be contacted on irc.shadowfire.org channel #natural-selection or blade_bandit@ananzi.co.za .

    Welcome !

    That's excellent to hear about NS fans in South Africa.

    You might want to check out #nsscrim I believe.

    Gamesnet, irc.gamesnet.net.

    But it looks like #findnsscrim is more popular.

    I still dont' get these country challenges. WHO picks the players that play in them?

    Seems kind of egotistical (sp?) for someone to say "lets do Europe vs America" and then go and pick random people for the teams.

    Ive not been around long but I have no clue who any of the people playing were.

    There are no set rules, its whoever organizes the team first i guess. The teams so far have picked the best talented people in their respective countries, if you want to start your own team, go right ahead.

    That is exactly why there is not a brazilian internation team yet. There are so many good players that it is very hard to make a team, and when someone does make one, those who didnt make into the team complains that it is not the best team of Brazil, so it shouldnt be called the brazilian team.

    Its the same with the USA team. A team without me in it cannot be the best and therefore cannot represent my country. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, I won't be putting myself into the South African team, but we are a very close knit ns community here in south africa, so we all know each others abilities. Would pick the team according to who is available to play at the time and is good enough.
