BTS_Squirrel

(www.the-underdogs.org)
and half life mods. i also enjoy a good rainbow six: rogue spear now and then. I am a leader of the BTS clan. (bts stands for: blood thirsty smurfs)

i also enjoy long walks on the beach, candelight dinners, and blowing the #### out of aliens! wooh!
Spud
Greetings;
Who am I...thats a great question, I guess the best answer is, I am Spud.  It's pretty much my real name,  everyone calls me Spud anyways.  I'm 16, and an Arizona hic.  I play tabletop RPGs for a living(not really, just a heavy habit) and love computers.  I'm not going to write a biography here, but let's say that I'm not just some n00b saying, "Ohhh wow, a new mod, aweshum! 8D." :p

I play many mods, and have played CS, TFC, HLDM, and others in the past.  I mostly play firearms these days, but am looking for another pasttime to fire away the days when I can't roleplay.  I also play Warcraft 3, Starcraft, BF1942, Icewind Dale 2, and have been known to sneak in some Neverwinter Nights on occasion.

I'm not much for forums, so you'll probably see me idling away in the IRC channel more often then posting like a mad rabid monkey here.  I'm pretty cynical on forums, I won't hide it, and very sarcastic.  If you see me making hateful aggressive angsty comments, it's probably a joke.  No more insta-bans, please :D.

I learned about NS while reading the Penny Arcade news, and they said the most anticipated mod that will be completed.  "Oh boy!" I said, "A decent mod that's actually going to be finished?!  You're kidding me!".  So here I am.

Um, Yeah.
Dunsby
Hi, Welcome to the NS forums. Wanna play BF1942 some time? maybe we could get loads of NS Forumers to play in a 12 v 12 game.
Spud
That would be awesome, I'm always up for a game.  Well, always up except monday, wednesday and saturday evening PST due to martial arts, but yeah.
Dunsby
I went martial arts once. It was boring as hell lol. HUH HA HUH, for some reason the teacher made us say that after a punch ??? well anyway im off to bed.
Hikeeba
Hi everybody.

I discovered NS about a week ago.  I am impressed.  The screenshots look great(I can't believe this is the Half-Life engine) and the gameplay sounds fantastic.  Seems a little like actually being a marine in Starcraft.

I'm from New Orleans, now living in Mississippi doing periodic contract work on software.  I don't play online all that often and generally stick to things like Deus Ex and Shogun.  When I need and online fix I usually play CS or Infiltration, but this looks like it's gonna' blow both of 'em out of the water.

I'll definitely be sticking around. :D
Junker2000
As the topic suggest, I am new to the forums.  I am greatling looking forward to experiencing NS.
Fam
Welcome Junker. Have a nice stay. Also, for all those new people, make sure you check out the NS IRC channel, #naturalselection on Gamesnet.
Moleculor
Cool.

Hi everyone! *waves* I'd look out for Bob, mkay? :) (He's the crawly LVL1 ( ::skulk:: ) alien.)

Hahaha! I'm so going to die for this!

Spyder_Monkey
^^^ Calling the level 1 that infamous "b word" will get you shunned faster than a wolf at a sheep's convention. Welcome, however. :)
QwertyMcDunkin
I am Qwerty-McDunkin and I live in Indianapolis.  Nuff said.  I have been silently following NS for a year waiting for it's release.  I guess I couldn't sit by and watch anymore so I joined the forums.
::asrifle::  ::gorge::
Comprox
Seems to be a popular thing to do these days, all these silent guys are giving in and joining :) I think it's cause they want to be able to brag to their friends in a few years that they knew of NS before release 1 and have proof!
Welcome!
Ramses
Truly spoken, Comprox, but I myself joined after 2 or three months of reading...

Welcome to all guys that are new! Have a nice stay, don't call the level 1 alien a "B*b" and try to avoid dark corners...
BTW: Junker, i think your Sig is a bit too large... The mods set a limit of 400x75 pixels...
GhostfaceKillah
sup y'all, im new here, just wanna say ur mod looks sweet and i cant wait for the release
BLACK_Monkey
Welcome! Nice sig! ;)

Hello everybody!
I've been reading the forums for some time but I've been too lazy to register and post. However when I saw this thread I thought it might be a good chance to start. I first heard about ns from an article on www.gamespy.com and thought to check it out. After navigating the site for a bit, it seemed pretty nice so I decided to keep an eye on this mod. Since that day, I've been checking the natural-selection site everyday.

Hiya! I hope you have a wonderful time in the community, happy shooting/biting!

Welcome guys/gals/things/chicks/dudes/people to the NS community. :)
Revenge
What's this? Every body is jumping out of the closet now! Its beginning feel lonely in there now... So I figured I should make my following of NS official too...

I would just like to say "DAMN! That was a lot of reading" I've spent the last two days trying to work my way through the "Tales from the Frontline" thread, and I'm still only up to page 31... out of 70 or more!

I've been following on and off for a few months now, but only started reading the forums thoroughly a week or two ago...
Spyder_Monkey
Enjoy your stay here with us in the NS community. What's that? Reading my reply? GET BACK TO READING SOMETHING INTERESTING!
Revenge
Sir yes sir!

*salutes, then runs back off to the general forums to read up a little more
Bean
Hello all,

I'm Chris, and I'm from Illinois, USA.  Learned about Natural Selection from PHL, and was curious, so I decided to stop by.  My name, by the way, is from the Ender's Game novel series.
elitebear

question: where from illinois??  :D  im from chicago
Monkla

I'm from Bloomington-Normal, in the middle of the state.

Yeah, I like the Ender's Shadow series (revolving around Bean) better than the sequels to Ender's Game, though Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind were still good books.
Insane
Welcome, Revenge and Bean!
Spyder_Monkey
Welcome guys, get with the reading, posting and excitement. ;)
Duplex
Hey all, love the community, game concept, everything.  I figured, since I've been hanging around the community a while now, I should step up and introduce myself.

I've been playing HL mods for 3 years now, CS most recently.  I've gotten a large group of my friends addicted to the game, and dangerously interested in Natural Selection.

Name's James, but pretty much everyone who knows me online calls me Duplex.  (sad, ain't it?)  I'm from Maryland, run a few servers (which will hopefully be running NS servers soon).

Oh, and on a side note, when's the NS clan movement going to start up?

I like the community, but doesnt everyone just reply in seemingly pointless posts? Ooops ket my secret rip, anway I welcome all of you. If you need mapping help contact me ;)
RhoadsToNowhere
Hey Duplex, there are already about 5 clans for NS at the moment(*cough* EC rocks *cough).  There's even some stuff set up for a league or a ladder at Clan Fission, run by our very own Parse_Error.  Go check it out to see if any clans are recruiting, or maybe even set up your own clan.
JediYoshi
OMG, out of all the clans, AUS hasn't signed up yet. /me has a chat with Ashitaka

Very cool.  I hadn't realized we'd come this far yet ;)

I actually do have my own clan, Binary Genocide, which, thanks to you ;) I've now registered with Clan Fission.  Now, I guess, I just have to patiently wait for the action to begin...

Oh, and thanks for the info!

Da_Sarge
Hello, hello, hello. This is Da Sarge here and I am happy to say I decided to join the NS forums. I have been reading about NS for about 2 weeks now, and I am gettin gray hairs wating for the release of this game. I think this game has more than enough potential to blow CS and those other HL mods straight outa the water. Well then...let my posting begin!!!
foxtrot

Ph0enix
Hi all. I've been following NS for a while since my brother brought it to my attention, but have only recently joined the forums.

I really hope the community stays as it is. I know several people are worried about llamas sinking NS but every game has its fair share and carrys on regardless, and i'd expect NS to be the same.

Looking forward to playing with (and killin) u all  :D

Whilst i'm here, i'd like to congratulate Flay et al for what looks to be an excellent mod/game.

Brutus
I have known about the mod for a little while, mainly from Narby's site and the map he is doing.

It looks very nice, and I look forward to playing it. I am a member of CoFR, which is a gaming group full of old people. http://www.cofr.net . I think this mod will be something we will like. We like to use teamwork in all the things we do, and this looks like it offers that.

Best of luck to the Mod group. Modders deserve a lot of respect. They sure keep my game expendatures down.  :D
TychoCelchuuu
Hiya Brutus! Both of us found out about this thing from n@rby, so that makes us special friends! Or something.
Brutus
The "or something" worries me.  :p
