<div class="IPBDescription">News?</div>I've noticed very few NS propoganda for PHL... It was a single screenshot from one of Relic's maps that brought me to this mod from PHL, and honestly, if it weren't for that site, I wouldn't have caught onto the mod in its early stages to get all the good background, behind the scenes stuff that goes into the mod. I'm just expecting a screenshot or two from the RR site to be put in as new at PHL...

whoops, there I am again, rambling on.

    I expect there will be a large increase in NS PS on all the news sites when it gets nearer to completion.

    The dev team has tried to stay away from the 'm4d p1mp4ge' that most other mods do, releasing screenshots or news with every little development, and tried to just focus on releasing what's really cool, and mentioning in passing what's 'ok' (though there ain't much that's 'just ok' about this mod).

    There have been about 30 separate PHL postings total in the history of NS (at least according to their search engines), most of them occuring in the past 5 months. They may not seem like a lot, but that averages out to about 1 every 5 days. Pretty frequent actually. If you post every last little inconsequential thing at the big news sites, you soon get relegated to the 'mod news' bottom of the page and will never see a hit.

    That being said, as the mod ebbs and flows in regards to major releases, artwork, and info, we tend to release more info. That way people don't get too used to us, and blow us off for crying wolf with every last little thing.

    Maybe you should visit PHL more frequently?

    I'm sure we'll be seeing something on PHL as soon as the NSTR2 is released too.  There was a brief period of time when PHL was posting screens almost every day (or at least every other day), but as ME stated, it's not a good idea to irk the people who run PHL by pestering them every day with minor news.  I'm glad we've been able to grow and maintain a great community of supporters, be they mappers or just people with good ideas.  It would be great if we could just keep going the way we have been, and when there is a playable version released, THEN hit the Giant Shiny Red Freaky PR Styling Button, and let the floodgates open. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    I don't want this. The best thing i can imagine is releasing it to the forum people only. This is because i'm very scared of the mass. When they come, the forums could be so big, you can't say a thing, and you don't know everyone like now, and maybe theyll rape ns like they did with cs.......

    hey everybody,
    just reading this post reminded me of a similiar experiance when i was frequenting the Gunman forums (gunman chronicles).  Only one or two sites bothered to report the mod, and before anyone knew it, the forums were shut down, the mod changed to gunman chronicles, and it was changed to a full priced retail game.  Then to put the gravy on the cake...or something like that...  all the pc magazines stated extoling the virtues of the mod makers gone pro, and that NO-ONE had ever heard of the durned mod before the likes of pcgamer did..
    kinda says somehing about marketing..oh, and if you get the American pcgamer, cancel your subscription, the U.K. version is far superior, i've lived in both places...you can trust me.......
