"The Fly" by Markus Klar 

That reminds me of a theme from 1997. 

not again 

Theme ideas:

Sunset

King Arthur's round table

Grave Mound (the inside)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalith

They were normally covered with earth of course.

Ogre Sacrifice (the player gets sacrificed? or the ogres)

Grimm's fairytales (could be VERY scary)

http://www.familymanagement.com/literacy/grimms/grimms-toc.html

Quake University (teach complete newbies Quake)

Malice has something like this, there are test areas with terminals which tell you how to use the hoverboard etc (using console messages IIRC)

could be pretty funny. There's no limit to what you explain. For example you could have a giant penis and explain that to the newbie. You could also just explain weapon usage.

The Fraggles (anyone remember the series? it took place in an underground tunnel system which was accessed from a house, and had some whacky characters. I loved it.)

FPS parody (ridicule shooter games like Counter Strike, Far Cry)

Microsoft Tech Support (monsters need Windows tech support, eventually you run amok)

Fast Food restaurant (you work at the counter, your customers are monsters)

Bank raid gone wrong (either you are the robber, or a gang of monsters (they escape, you must hunt them)

Pulp Fiction (the map must start with the message "Everybody be cool this is a robbery..." and contain random violence and bloody accidents)

Spaceship service technician (cleans the spaceship of parasites while smoking weed, Fifth Element)

Smoke-Free Inc. (Quit smoking in 5 minutes - GUARANTEED) (Steven King) 

Michael Jackson concert, backstage

Monster Strike (monsters are sick of fighting, with strike posts etc.)

Construction Site (monsters are trying to build a dungeon)

Shopping mall invasion

Monster Rights Act (you must finish without killing)

Magic Bus (ride with hippie monsters to Woodstock)

Babysitter (you must watch over Mrs. Vore's kids (vorelings) while she's out on a date)

Hijackers (monsters hijacking a plane)

Target practice (you are the target in a monster training facility)

Going fishing

Walking the dog (you meet other dogs, and their owners)

Revenge (destroy someone's car, smash his windows etc, then face his gang and himself)

Public bath

Public library

Public toilet (you work there, the customers are monsters)

Torture chambers

Drive-in cinema (teenage monsters meet etc.)

Spaceman Spiff (he calls monsters zogwargs, has bizarre names for weapons, imaginary gadgets, visits bizarre planets etc, then wakes up in school) (Calvin and Hobbes)

Tsunkatse (you are captured and forced to fight against monsters in an arena, the fights are broadcast to the amusement of millions. You must break free and destroy the broadcast system) (Star Trek)

Coop Race (two players race through the same course (mirrored) to arrive at a common destination; the destination has a button that makes the floor disappear to dump the loser in lava) (could use some id map as base here)

Film Studio (you are an actor in some movie; you must play the same scene over and over (jump around and kill some monsters); eventually, everybody rebels and carnage ensues.)

Coraline (you must find a key to enter a mirror world where you confront an evil version of your family and neighbors, and must find the other key to get back) (Neil Gaiman) (could be extremely scary)

Advent Calendar (you find and open 24 packages)

Shooting Gallery (hit all targets to get the teddy bear for your little daughter)

Call Center (you get all sorts of calls, until you go insane)

Some of these are probably better for turtlemaps though. 

Did you use drugs ????

Err.. BTW some ideas are quite funny ! 

speedmaps with no mappers? if u guys sugest less and map more could help!!! 

Series of tubes! 

no theme 

That's the unofficial theme of every speedmap event. 

Because then I could just resubmit my own. 

Turtle Id Level Remakes! In Quoth.

if neg|ke make one i make one to!!! 

but only with monsters replace :p 

anything that makes people actually map

ijed/Trinca's recommendation sounds like it would yield fun maps to play. It gives me several ideas immediately, but that doesnt meant productivity is necessarily involved there... 

I was half-joking, because I've already posted the e4m4 remake I made, but if anyone else want's to make a turtlemap we could package them into a bundle.

Who knows, if enough people feel like it we could do a e4 remake. I know that's probably a pipe dream but remember that these are only turtlemaps with a week of work max. 

Therefore time for a completely unthemed speedmap. Four hours methinks, from 17 30 - 22 30 (Eastern U.S. time).

If anyone else plans on doing so, post and i'll drop onto the IRC channel. 

I've got one finished and one that was interrupted midway that I'll finish when my life is boring enough. No internet for me right now and can't be bothered to upload at the net cafe just yet.
PS happy saint paddy's day. 

However, i decided that my level needed curves, and spent a lot of time doing texture alignment. I've got some decent looking stuff done, but it is more suited towards a full (albeit small) map. So no speedmap, sadly, but eventually a full level. 

revisiting the id1 levels and adding things to them. for example one level could be infested(?) with some devilish organics, another could have had a slipgate exploded and so on. 

OFC OMG WTF ROFL! 

"With only a boomstick"; derived from the Q2 map "with only a blaster" (only2.zip), the goal would be not to kill all monsters but to somehow dodge various traps/ ambushes and get through alive.

A variation af this could use the Airfist mod, I was thinking about cramped/tight rooms, again the goal would be to get to the exit and not to get 100%.

Another: making maps with fun Boss battles, like that one map by Harbinger which has a Chthon throwing fish instead of lavaballs.
