Title says it all. Been doing PUGs (pick up games) 6v6 classic style over at the ENSL (European Natural Selection League) for about 3 years or so now. The atmosphere is both moderately chill and moderately intense. Not exactly the pure chill environment we often fostered on the old BAD servers, but also far from the pretentious intensity of the competitive scene from about 10 years ago, especially of the American variant - in short, a happy medium for former pubbers and pros can meet. Very international crowd - lingua franca is English. Looking for people desiring to return to NS1, even if for just a bit.

What follows sounds like a lot, but really only takes about 15 minutes.

How to Get Back Into the Game:

1.) Sign up at ENSL ( https://www.ensl.org/ ) with an account including your Steam ID.

2.) Join the ENSL Discord Server ( https://discord.gg/ZUSSBUA )

3.) Install the latest patched version of NS1. Note: pyro has kindly fixed many bugs in the game, which left off at NS 3.2. It is now currently NS 3.3b ( https://github.com/ENSL/NS/#downloads )

4.) Once you launch the custom launcher, go to the settings tab, and click the "Use Experimental Build" Box. This will activate the the bug fixes made by pyro.

How to Join a Gather:

1.) Either go directly to ensl.org or launch the custom launcher and click "Join Gather"

2.) Once joined, vote for a map (2 votes per person, though can't cast 2 for the same map) and server (Miami, USA or London, UK).

3.) Once 12 players have joined, vote for team captains (2 votes per player, can only vote for one person once).

Main Rules

1.) Be respectful. Mild rage is okay.

2.) Never mute your team captain and follow their orders to the best of your ability

3.) Install TeamSpeak ( https://www.teamspeak.com/en/downloads/ )

4.) Do your best to play at least 2 rounds (1 marines, 1 aliens) on a map before leaving. Find a replacement, if you can, if this is not possible.

5.) These games abide by ENSL Rules, not those of BAD or anyone else.

Setting Up TeamSpeak:

1.) Install TeamSpeak ( https://www.teamspeak.com/en/downloads/ )

It came to my attention that there is another 'NS <BAD> Clan'.
The owners did not seek NS <BAD> Clan permissions to host servers in OUR name.

As stated here on the 'Flux' <BAD> Clan administrator Username: Nightmare / Argentum

Our Clan's NS2 Server is listed as: <BAD> Official Server - nsbadclan.org

All else is NOT NS <BAD> CLAN, or any sort of representation of <BAD> Clan.
<BAD> Clan Ownership or Leadership has given any permission for any 3rd party to the use of the <BAD> Clan name, "<BAD>" Clan tag.

As of now, those persons who own and operate those 'other' servers are in violation of United States Trademark Law of our 'Common-Law Mark' protections.

Any 'members' of <BAD> Clan who claim that they are in our clan and YET not have YET joined our Steam group that you MAY encounter, we in the <BAD> Clan Administration ask of this:

Do not insult
Do not harass
Do not encourage ANY ill-will

...to ANY of these players.

As it should be in the aspect of YOUR administration of OUR great clan that once this situation is settled, we might have a nice abundance of new fresh individuals who can enjoy what we have to offer here in our clan.

Very Respectfully,
Kookee
Co-Admin NS <BAD> Clan

With our resurgence of our clan, we've also rebooted a server!

Please check the server list on Natural Selection 2 server browser:
Our server is:
<BAD> Official Server 1 - nsbadclan.org

Hi everyone,

It has been quite some time. I was hoping that some of you might be able to help out Konoha's Perverted Hermit from the old NS BAD days. If you recall, he was a long time regular on the servers who both donated regularly to the servers and always contributed positively to the servers' atmosphere and quality of games. He has recently had some major back surgery and any financial help that you might be able to provide would be tremendously appreciated. Further details are in the link below.

Note: due Steam's link removals, you will need to copy and paste the link in this announcement into your browser:https://www.gofundme.com/help-a-yeti-with-hostpital-bills
