    Will there be <i>caek</i> at these "PR Rallys"?
  • FreemantleFreemantle Join Date: 2002-06-16 Member: 783Members
    Only if you reply to that thread. Not that we <b>need</b> to pimp NS, but there are quite a few people who have <b>no</b> clue what it is.

    Is it just me or do you say a large amount of <b>negative</b> things?  The page is lacking in updates, the forums are childish as of late, you're the only one who gives a damn if NS is popular.  I had no idea that was how PR worked.

    [Edit:  I'm not saying I don't agree with you, just when you are doing "PR" it usually involves only saying positive things, even to an over exaggerated sense.  Saying the forums are childish, and the site is rarely updated might have the opposite desired effect on people]

    Lol, aren't <b>we</b> negative. There is no doubting that NS.org isn't updated a whole lot, and that we are definatly in a moderation crisis. Maybe if you can look at the <b>good</b> things I wrote you'd be satisfied.

    Arg...  things like this tend to create more problems than they solve.

    Wow! Im the only person on this forum who has friends!
    ####, I forgot NO ONE ON THIS FORUMS talks about NS on other forums and in real-life! OPPS!! My bad!

    SERIOULSY, ALOT of people already know about NS. I bet 100% its goign to be mod of the week on PHL, thatll attract alot of people. People who enjoy the game will even attract more people. I mean, look at CS Beta 1. I bet they didnt do a PR blitz, yet theyre the most poplular mod around.
  • Llama_KillerLlama_Killer Join Date: 2002-07-30 Member: 1029Members
    I would edit your post before you die of a massive flame fest...
    -edit- CS was released retail a while after that wich made it popular not phl.
  • Bob_the_AlienBob_the_Alien Join Date: 2002-01-30 Member: 135Members
    just because people dont post here doesnt mean there not going to play ns :|

    I was talking in a tfc clan channel and mentioned NS, and everyone started to talk about it like they where board regulars!

    we even had a debate if the marine team would have a disadvantage on the public servers, but agreed that the clan play would own.
  • WoggyWoggy Join Date: 2002-10-09 Member: 1466Members
    I _NEVER_ said PHL made CS popular. Read my post. I just said that if your on PHL and you look IMPRESSIVE (and NS certainly is) then alot of people are gonan give it a try.
    CS got popular cause of friends telling friends, forums, etc. CS was very popular even before the retail. The retail just attracted even more people.
    B o B The Alien is right you know. The PR Blitz is barely gona do anything, a few released screenies and just uploading it everywhere is enough, and shouldnt take another ####### week.
    A week is Extremely long, especially when youve been waiting for 2 years, then you have to wait even more when your near killing yourself so we can attracts a few n00bs to our community. ####### n00bs. <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::asrifle::'><!--endemo-->

    BTW Im not a person who deletes threads cause people might have opinions oppisite of mine.  

    Sigh, sorry guys, im just really ###### cause ive been waiting so long, and now its so close to being released.
    Must be patient... /eats self

    However, i think NS will get enough players. At first, we might have a small community, but thats good enough for me. Hell, if we get 6 servers up who are always near fullness i´d be happy, because then the players would be people i know, not playing with strangers.. I couldn´t imagine any better players to play with then the PT team...

    However, if NS gets great its good to be part of something this big. There is no need to make so much effort in getting NS a big fanbase now. When it´s released, people will see how good it is and they will try it. Then, they will play it and tell to others. And on... and on... and on...

    MonsE is doing the best PR job in the world, there is no need for these things.

    i hope that in the servers will be a place for me... if realy  so many people download the mod... then possibly we could have a server problem.. but we will see, now dont panik..

    While the PR blitz will be add many hopefully good people I shudder at the thought of the idiot in my gym class who doesn't know CS is a MOD and thinks that spending $40 for games he can get free is cool saying, "You hear of that 'thingie' called Natural-Selection?" Maybe he doesn't know of PHL.

    I just replied back to that thread in <a href="http://www.forumplanet.com/planethalflife/topic.asp?fid=1895&tid=840175&p=2" target="_blank">PHL Forums</a>, which I will include below as a quote.

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td><b>Quote</b> </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"><!--QuoteEBegin-->In Reply To #17 (Freemantle)

    Just to set the record straight on this supposed lack of PR I've heard about in this thread:

    NS' official news site readyroom.org has had 161 separate updates in the past year. That works out to about 1 update every 2 days. Additionally, we have made 62 posts of exclusives and news to Planethalflife.com. There are also dozens of exclusives posted in our forums every few weeks. Add in the exclusives we've given to other sites like gamecenter.com, elited.net, hlcenter.com, valvepit.com, halflife.org, natural-seletion.de, moddb.com, Half-life.de, halflifeitalia.com, halflife.nu, etc. etc. etc, and it all works out that there is almost 1 PR post PER DAY. This is, to my knowledge, considerably more than any HL mod or game I have ever seen. Anyone want to rebut with their numbers or show another mod that posts as much PR?

    Now go away or I will taunt you a second time...<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    As a side note, I noticed when gathering these stats that Readyroom.org turned <b>1 year old</b> on Tuesday. So, happy birthday to RR.org. Get a job, ya bum!

    MonsE: Didn't know I was kicking the teeth.

    <!--me&Freemantle--><span id='ME'><center>Freemantle gets an orthadontist.</center></span><!--e-me-->

    I personally think that the behind the scenes PR work is probably great. And I did not in any way, shape, or form defame RR.org. I think it is okay to say that the screenshots at ns.org are old. I really wouldn't want someone to visit NS.org and assume those screenies are what this mod is all about because they are meer shadows of what NS has become. Perhaps next time I will be more gentle with my "this info is old" statement. I also did not defame your PR work. The only reason I posted is beacause of that guy who said "NS has the worst PR work ever" because I strongly disagree with him. Notice I <b>did</b> invite them into the forums to check stuff out and I <b>did</b> invite him on to IRC. The childishness in the forums has seemed to have died down so I have no other complaints abou that (I believe the major offender is gone).

    Sorry If I hurt your feelings MonsE. Didn't mean to.

    Nobody's feelings were hurt. I was trying to undue the damage done by your supposedly helpful PR:

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td><b>Quote</b> </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"><!--QuoteEBegin-->I've been an Natural Selection junkie since god-knows-when and I believe I'm the only Forumer/IRC bum (Freemantle) that gives a damn about what the rest of the world thinks about NS. I partially agree that the websites are lacking in section updates (some of those screenshots are from PT1! ) <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    It says here that you're the only NS fan doing anything to help NS - I'm sure lots of people here would take issue with that, especially considering that many people here have been fans of NS for about a year longer than you. You also say that the website<b>s</b> lack updates - also incorrect.

    Next time you feel like "helping" with PR, try to post something besides the 'websites hardly ever update' and 'the forums are full of kiddies'. You probably just cost us a few hundred fans right there by not phrasing things better.

    Congrats on the succesful years worth of PR for the readyroom MonsE.  NS's PR is some of the best i have ever seen honestly, and i think you deserve a ton of credit for that.  Nice work, and happy birthday rr!

    I posted a 2 page NS post on the PC Gamer UK forums, and got involved in the blueyonder forums, alongside telling random people on the street. Open your eyes and engage your brain please.

    I posted on the Eve forums about NS and told all my friends. Whenever I join a server in firearms/DOD/TFC, I tell people about it and direct them to "Readyroom.org"
