Come thru sometime DW, us NSers would love to give you some pwning

lies, cause I'm there all the time

NS' following is almost a cult, at this point. It always has been, perhaps. The game style is too difficult and too niche to ever achieve mainstream popularity, and the playerbase has dwindled significantly over the years. Most of those remaining end up on the 30 player servers, which utterly destroy the gameplay, or on CO servers, bane of NS that they be. Still, Jiggly's is the only server remaining with a reasonable player limit and lack of inane mods, so it attracts most of the people left who actually want to play NS instead of some bastardized mockery, and you shouldn't have any trouble finding a game in the evenings. 6 pm to 2 am or thereabouts seem to be the window of opportunity, in my experience.

you said "no one is ever there"

I go there

that makes your statement lies

I'm going to stop posting, and go idle in the jigglyroom

Okay I found it. WoW! Thats pretty hard! I keep dying. Everything is happening so fast!!!!!!! This is the 1st time I've ever seen this server with a lot of people in it. Those aliens are creepy and what's with the creepy music?

I'm tired and must sleep, but I plan to return to that server. I hate dying for nothing.

NS is one of the hardest mods to get into because the learning curve is huge.

Keep in mind that you're going to die. A lot. Death in this game is very temporary, and only really matters when your team spent a lot of resources on you in some form or another. For example, if you're a marine, and the commander drops you a heavy armor suit, mines, a welder, and and HMG, he just spent 45 res on you. If you get eaten by an onos and die, all that goes to waste.

Making things worse is the fact that to win at NS you have to play cooperatively with your teammates, and if you lose everyone blames everyone else. The game is not newbie friendly, if you make a mistake or don't respond quickly enough to a request, you could be losing the whole game for your team.

So, I would just let everyone know that you're new, no matter what team your on. This will reduce the amount of garbage people throw at you, and may even garner you some helpful play tips.
