If we can keep this going maybe we'll get some decent packs... What we need is some REAL theme suggestions. Something simple with room for interpretation... not too much though eg 'quanta latte'...

Any ideas? 

Extreme temperatures. 

Cyclopean Architecture
R'yleh
Neo Knave (homage to the best quake texture set ever!)
The Tunnels Between the Voids
Caught in a Slipgate 

Halls of the Scrag God
Prisons of Nix
Anti Light
Succubus Harem
Where Ogres Bathe 

Haha, nice themes 

Exactly what Drew meant by "REAL themes", I'm sure.

Ijed's one is good. 

The ogre baths are interesting. I'm having fun, yet disturbing, imagery dance through my head. 

That one was the name of my 2nd ever speed map, in case you're wondering where I got it from. ;) 

I remember it...

I think caught in a slipgate could maybe be okay?

Extreme temps could be good too. 

I think caught in a slipgate could maybe be okay?

what does that imply? Some sort of mashup-theme (stuck between two worlds? Or does it mean you just put the info_player_start inside the slipgate geometry?

Extreme temps could be good too.

Go on, call it Hot N Cold so we can finally see some Katy Perry themed maps... 

for Starbuck! 

lets not bring katy perry up again...

I immediately thought of something good for caught in a slipgate, but I'm trying to get a wad together... so far so bad.
i say we vote. 

Main theme: Caught in a slipgate,
optional theme: Extreme temperatures

sound good? 

Who's Katy Perry? 

ie, the worst "musician" I've seen in quite a long time. 

Yeh, just wiki'd her. I was vaguely aware of the kissed a song. I like that her debut was called 'lawl niggas' (or something equally offensive), you have to 'respect' someone with that much idiocy

I was watching this documentary about some evangelical christians who live somewhere in England, and they were a large family (dont believe in contraception), the eldest son had been at university, the second eldest (the eldest daughter) went to see how life was like for her brother in London at university. They had all been home-schooled you see, and had no idea what life was like in the "real world".
I just remember a scene where they where in a nightclub, and the girl was sulking because she found the lyrics to that song "offensive and disturbing".
I find it offesive and disturbing that people will bring their kids up like that, its basically brainwashing.
I also remember the girl crying hysterically over the death of Jesus, saying that she did not deserve to be there because he had died for HER sins. Weird, she was about 12 or 13. 

That's nothing compared to the video of the hippies in the forest, crying and wailing on behalf of the dead trees that had been cut down. It was embarrassing to even watch. 

Was hilariously pathetic. 

katy perry,
crying hippies,
sulking evangelicals 

I'm totally the wrong person to organize this - I don't even know how to upload to shub hub or whatever - but...

SM 153! Caught Between Slipgates
-optional theme: Extreme Temperatures (Starbuck kissed a girl... once) -

Hand it in by midnight next Sunday (21st)
I know that is a lot of time, but I know I won't have hardly any time to sit down and map this weekend. Plus it would allow the SM ball to get rolling and maybe allow more contributions from people who don't have time or inspiration this weekend. 

nice grammar. 

So no interest at all huh? 

the theme evokes some good ideas, but I just don't have time for it :(
