I ran into none other than CNH in the computer lab today. >.<

A game with this tiny a playerbase, and two players in the same (middle of nowhere) town? Freaky.

No kidding, I'm as suprised as you are.

CNH

Who ze heck is CNH?
Jan 19, 2006 Renegade xxRIPxx link
he/she is a visitor :D
Jan 19, 2006 zamzx zik link
erm...so who is CNH?

anyway, you are, in theory, more likely to be in the same town as someone who plays Vo, since the only real way this game is spread is by word of mouth.

meh, Silicon and his brothers showed me the game...they however, left it to other things...like halo.

CNH == Captain "Nice" Harddrive. Ex CDC member.
Jan 19, 2006 moldyman link
Aye, a good lieutenant he was. /me misses him
Jan 19, 2006 who? me? link
hmm so how'd ya figure it out eh?
Jan 19, 2006 vIsitor link
He saw me browsing the VO site in the comp lab and said "You play Vendetta too?", and asked what my handle was. When I told him I was known as CNH he proceeded to exlaim that "Wait, you are Captain 'Nice' Hardrive? I wanted to shoot you soooo many times" =P

I learned about Vendetta from the now-defunct Dawn of Infinity project, but I didn't bother to investigate further at the time. But last year near the end of summer I was on a vacation and bought a VO box on a whim, and have yet to regret my purchase.

On another note, the CDC may no longer exist as an officially recognised body, but it still lives on in spirit. The guid's 'death' could probobly be attributed to Moldy's resignation as CO, and general apathy among the members. I might have been able to hold the guild together if I could've been in-game, but alas my subscription has since expired and my dad is too paranoid to let me renew it at the moment (He wouldn't even let my older brother renew my subscription as a chritmas present, but what can you expect from a man who still uses AOL?).

Heh, yeah. You were rather quiet at first. I'm assuming that was shock. =P

NM for teh win!

Anyway, I found out about VO from a review in MacTech magazine. I saw the words "3D, Online version of EVN" and was hooked.

Word of mouth? I found it off the Apple website in the game downloads section.
Jan 19, 2006 Dark Knight link
ROFL, yeah. I have been spreading the word, and I've gotten three or four people to try out the game.
Jan 19, 2006 zamzx zik link
Person, it has been spreading slowly, but, more WOM then anything.
Jan 20, 2006 jexkerome link
Yeah, even zamzx here has been helpful in that regard, recounting his "exploits" on other game-related forums.
Jan 20, 2006 Person link
Oh, I was assuming other people actually looked at that. I thought that was the reason for having such a high number of mac users in the game.

/me got it from apple.com

Err, Dark Knight, there are matters that we need to discuss that are...delicate in nature, being strictly RP related. Keep on the lookout for me in the comp lab.
