I corresponded with Tronyn last night without a hitch, unless he didn't get my reply ;). At the very least, the spam filter would have saved the e-mail to the junk pile. I don't set it to delete until after the e-mails are read.

The only new factor I can think of is the service is now called Windows Live, and the only difference I've noted are a few new self congratulatory banners on Microsoft's part and a less aesthetically appealing interface.

Give it another try, and if that doesn't work I'll give you an alternative address later tonight. 

Awwwww yeah....


Sorry, I was infected with dumbass joke syndrome from when I worked in a warehouse. I'm pretty sure I got your reply so it should be all good.

BTW Uwf thanks for doing that latest update yourself, I spent the last 3 weeks basically wasted so I wouldn't have been much help even if you HAD asked, lol, but thanks.

My site doesn't need a database; I guess it's just picking between Quaddicted and LD then. I'll be sorting out some emails later tonight (including yours HT). 

'flaw of being too easy at the beginning with not enough monsters and too much ammo and health.'

since when not pummelling the player from the start is a flaw? 

according to uwf travail was worse than hand that feeds you... 

if the basis was consistency. The overall consistency of Travail varied and the score is probably an attempt to reflect on the quality of the whole pack.

And comparing a pack's score with an individual map score is not worth much IMHO. Comparing Travail's score with another map pack score would probably be a better way/ 

<spds> bigger = better
I agree. Who would want to play a map with less than 200 monsters anyway. 

Each monster should count... 

fish are more equal than others... 

<spds> bigger = better

Strongly disagree. 

...I think its wrong! I feel like Stevie Ray Vaughan did when he was told that Buddy Guy (or was it BB King) was opening up for him...

Dont change it please! It made my year!

AArrggghh!! All these mixed up feelings... 

<spds> bigger = better

<someone> variety is the spice of life

I think that whilst the Warpspasm maps are great, they are a bit of a grind because of the sheer size and length of playtime with no end. Other large maps such as Marcher and czg07 do not suffer from this but are not as large. However, I've had plenty of fun with the terra maps and rpg's mini episode was also highly enjoyable. 

That was an ironic statement... 

I think Warp got more recognition than it deserved because of the size, there was a lot of boring stuff in there and a lack of impressive or cool moments that I could have corrected with more patience.

In Marcher or czg07 there's very little repetition of environment - Marcher has those staircases but that's not so bad. Whereas warpb has an endless maze of brick corridors interspersed with open outdoor bits.

Ah well, you live and learn. 

Experiments in the extremities - when done well of course - are good experiences in their own right, even if they might not end up as refined or as high quality.

I am still eagerly awaiting super-detailed, super-hardcore micro-maps. 20 monsters, every one a significant gameplay event, etc etc. 

But I don't think Quake monsters are set up for it. Vondur's Castle of Koohoo is probably the closest there's been with only the fish and sometimes zombies really used as filler enemies.

Spose it's how far the map is willing to build the map around the monster and its behaviour rather than their aesthetic concept.

A single Ogre could chase an unarmed player around an evil dead cabin but I'm certain sooner or later the bad AI would tell and the player would end up axing to death a stuck Ogre. 

sarcasm, not irony.

sarcasm = advocating something which actually is a hidden criticism that ridicules the advocacy.

irony = some random event that is unexpectedly fitting and even makes the previous stance ridiculous. This is a term that is surprisingly hard to explain. 

It's like rain on your wedding day!

Shambler, what are you trying to hint at? 

I'm trying to hint that your upside down remixes sucked fetid goat sac and I'll hate you for ever more for making me waste 2 minutes downloading them and wandering around them. Yeah, something like that ;) 

Merriam-Webster Online says on "irony":
a: the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning b: a usually humorous or sardonic literary style or form characterized by irony c: an ironic expression or utterance

Who else wants a go at it? 

merely an observation of general public taste

shamb couldnt beat an upsidedown map? lol noob 

I have a exceedingly good Rutherglen Shiraz set aside should you ever make it to Wodonga, in the meantime I doff my cap.

Prefer water of life.

And I'm half cut. Just deleted a rambling post of a fair few letters.

If I'm ever in Wodonga I'll let you know, the chance isn't so far fetched. 

Literally!
