Rare where I live, but got one! I didn't notice it though. 

 

I noticed one a while back... over here in Chile.

Then aftershocks for a month - one of them sounded like a stampede of trains going by underground.

Where are you? 

Did you get to see the Chait�n volcano erupting back in 2008 or whenever was that?

Canadian news press hyped it while i posted. It was actually 5.0 and nothing as bad as the Chile one. Some phone video sent to news agencies also looked fake (them just shaking the phone and walking around). I lost my G20 summit rock. 

a while back in Melbourne. First time its happened since I've been here and it was very noticeable! 

That looks like Armageddon.

The Chile one was apparently misrepresented by the government here - this is a conspiracy theory, but it seems plausible.

Basically they claim it was a 8something when really it was a 9something. The difference for the government is the 9 they have to pay to fix all damages - 8 they don't have to.

If it's the third strongest recorded and shifted the earth's axis then I'd guess 9 as opposed to 8.

Driving back the day after was freaky - lumps of road sticking up in the air, collapsed bridges and pedestrian flyovers etc.

A friend had the parking lot under his apartment partially collapse (nothing happened in the upper floors) - it crushed eight cars and left his unscratched. 

Idears for my next map? :)

My favorit themes are Maya stuff and metal but were the last two I've made :( 

These, are the voyages, of the, Trinca Ship Enterprises. To go, boldly, over there, with hatchet, in hand. 

Try something you never tried... like space ship, or futuristic base map :) 

Didn't Trinca do that map with the Cyberdemons on board a futuristic-base space ship map?

Or was that Madfox? Or someone else completely? 

 

...as you play more and more maps for sure.
The Inspiration and Reference link has lots of ideas too.

I like Quoth a lot, but doubt there can be much added to it because it's maxed out in size. The only thing I can think of is having the present version (2.1), a base only version, and a rune only version. Then, more content can be added to the specific other 2 versions. Hellsmash is a great mod, and to see it added to Quoth Base, would be excellent. Mappers can choose what version fits their ideas best. 

make a vertical map and try to restrict yourself to maybe 1024x1024 width/length
i enjoyed doing a vertical map. it gets you thinking in different ways. extra internets if you can make the path non-linear or circuitous. 

I've made one in vertical event was quite fun! 

dunno, just a nice singleplayer map? 

I'm pretty sure will have size of tdl, big projects make mapping slower... and I want to release at least one map each year 

French soccer team disaster

Good enough for a funny map :) 

I would have suggested German soccer team disaster, but since we'll be beating England on Sunday, everything will be fine.

but since we'll be beating England on Sunday, everything will be fine.

back at the hotel afterwards on their playstations? sure ;) 

Yeh, 'cos the England squad is so fscking good...

Oh, wait. 

such technicalities tend to be overlooked when it comes to the art of smak talk 

When it comes to soccer, and especially during championships, all Brits are twats.
