is its not anyone's who frequent these forums... I doubt any of us have ever been laid, let alone havea child. Maybe Martha Stewart's? It's colorful. 

I've been leaving WorldCratf since Tuesday and am ready to enter this one. I assume since it will be 11.00am over here in the UK, you boys obviously need the advantage of been only half awake.

Now, I just need to learn how to make a door before Saturday... 

*advantage of ME only being half awake*

Ho hum, it ain't as funny with a typo. 

actually it starts at 9pm UK time, so you shouldn't be at a disadvantage there... a lot of speedmappers dwell in the lands of blighty too. 

Having trouble with the very time of the competition is an imminent sign of my doom.

By the way, is it permissible to prepare a few custom textures in advance? 

thats never a problem 

that this week should have been run by myself, not that it matters of course. I may be able to join in the session this week too (!), as I've managed to set up quake on the shitty p233 

SM49_Starbuck and probably sm63_Fat could both be considered examples of parodies. 

i'll run Parody as the theme next week.... its been ages since we had a 'silly' theme 

Idea for speedmap session: provided enough people show up, I think it would be a cool idea to make a speed episode, where each player's map exits to another player's map making a mini-speed-episode. The maps could all be in the same style, so it'd roughly be like Quake Condensed, but with many people producing the maps instead of one person. Then the episode could be roughly equivalent to one full map per week instead of a collection of tiny insect maps per week. Good idea or bad, or has it been done before? 

Sounds like fun. 

metal maps!

no-one seems to make metal maps anymore :( 

because idbase is better 

...as popular concensus confirmed. 

Phew, finished! - only 6 hours late... but then it was my first map ever. heh :) 

where is it?

The map is in the shape of the bottom right object in the picture. I was going to use all 4 shapes, but erm, it took me 6 hours as it was :) 

excellent for a first map, congrats. 

The time
9pm GMT on Saturday, 7th February
that corresponds to 4pm EST or 9pm UK time

The place
on IRC, in #speedq1 on gamesnet.net

The plan
Make a map in 100 minutes or less.

The theme
This week you have a choice:

Crap Maps: this theme is one we ran before back in pack 49. The goal is to make an intentionally terrible map, achieved however you like. Last time there was a load of l33t-speak, shitty brushwork and blunt sexual references.

or

Parody: the goal here is, predictably, to parody something, be it someone elses map, or mapping style. Alternatively, do a parody of something completely unrelated. Parody something original, like George W. Bush, Michael Douglas (he's way old, lol) or 18th century Spanish Folk music.

If you can't make the session, make a map before and email it to me at:
starbuck@planetquake.com 

it's session 66 not 65...
also kudos to RPG for coming up with the 'parody' theme with his infinite brain, the example maps he quoted were his 100b2 map with its JeffK messages, my sm49 map with the shamblers or Fat Controller's recent map for pack 63 with the falling pianos. 

rpgs infinite brain!!?!? 

it can see into my soul 

a brain like that, you'd assume it'd be filled by more than penii... 

I got a LAN party to attend on Saturday, so I've emailed my entry to Starbuck. Catch ya all Sunday.
