neg!ke guess people are to much ocupied in there own projects :| dont make two speedmaps a week make a break on speedmap and go make a single player we run speedmap again after 22 july :) 

I have to meet certain targets each week, or there is no way I'll finish the Qexpo thingie, so sorry
Neg!ke. 

Obviously I don't need an excuse. Not that I would need one anyway, since I'm above all that nonsense ( excuses, grovelling, apologizing etc.)
But you know that. Does this mean you don't think I'm great?
Whatever... I'm still the prettiest. 

that makes you a very special lad indeed. 

qexpo projects are a valid reason that i fully support, of course.

drew, however, can't talk himself out of it that easily, because i don't regard being driven around in rickshas all day and chilling out with da ladyboys very productive. so i guess it's really time for a sequel of my infamous 'drew simpson deformography' series! muhahah >:D 

If given a topic/theme, I might be persuaded to dust off my old GtK. I don't have anything to do until Monday, other than study for final exams, which I mean I prolly won't do. So, I've got some time. 

I'm in Australia now. And I'm totally over the LB's.
But go ahead with the deformographic series and the evil laughter - it sounds like it's right up your alley. 

Before you ask - I don't know what the hell that means. If I were you, I'd take it as a compliment. Although if I were you... I'd be preturnaturally attracted to Zwiffle. 

still the timelimit theme (#1646).
neglecting school for mapping is way to go! :P

drew: i don't understand, so i take it as a... RECURSIVE ERROR!! 

What are you guys thinking?
My ideas are:

-western / desert

-miniature ( like those DM maps in a big kitchen, etc.)

and I still think my "classics tribute" idea would be a good one. Maybe for the anniversary celebrations.

Actually, I think we should start brainstorming for Quakecon SM theme ideas now. 

Qexpo. 

you know what was a truly unmapped for SM theme?
That one where you had to go through the level twice. Only one map for it. I think that would be one to re-do. In fact, it would be a great idea to re-do a bunch of old themes. How do you feel about that? 

while there were some pretty nice themes in the past, re-doing them would probably be kind of lame. and if done, then at least with some modifications.

has the play-it-twice theme really never been done after it was suggested?
so why not, might be nice. 

is an awesome idea, esp. as you can make the player start at a new location using the episodegate (or whatever) ent and start2. Coupled with having weapons from the first time around, it could be really interesting.

Maybe a good idea for turtlemaps to really get the best out of it though. 

we did it, but nobody actually followed the theme except me. 

necros' map was particularly outstanding. (at least now i don't have to do a 'real space map' anymore) :D

since it has been done already, should we go for another theme. or what do you think? 

I think the play thru twice should be re-done. Only mets did it, and his map was pretty bad-ass. I don't think it would be lame to re-do old themes, as long as people don't just re-hash and do the exact same thing as the last time.

Oh - while I'm here... Than, CZG, other mapping geniuses who I'm forgetting - are you going to to SM's for the qexpo? Like celebrity mapping or something? 

I just about overdoesed on hyphens there. I've gotta learn to be more careful. 

silly season again, plus all those cursed qexpo activities (including myself.. i mean, in addition to overcoming lethargy), so i suggest we just have an open theme for sm126 with no fixed deadline. do your backtothefuturehyphenstributeplaytwice maps and send them in at any time - i'll just release the pack when there are enough maps (aka. more than one)... mkay? let's at least pretend to care :D 

I have a scrap from the SoE:Indian Summer maps that doesn;t fit in with the rest of the material. I'll fix it up and try to get it to you by Sunday evening for the themeless speedmap.

Next themeless speedmap should mean that you can't put two of the same theme textures side by side -- no base/base, runic/runic, etc.

cheers 

classy move. 

I think I'll map too. :D 

by freaky lightning over the weekend. It's now restored so I'll e-mail that level to you within the hour. I'm going to do a multi-engine run first. 

How is everything coming, Neg!ke? 

i received your map (though haven't played it yet). i'm still waiting for one or two further maps for the pack.
there is something i'd like to try out in a speedmap, but i shouldn't change priorities in the next 1-2 weeks. so we'll see...
