er -- there has been another slight delay, a, uhm, FLAMEWAR!! has errupted. Let's see, I have a level, a beta test, and two tatoos to design before Saturday all on my plate. They are are all secondary to a FLAMEWAR!!!, of course. 

Yowzers, who is that little cutie, so she is drawn, can we at least pretend she has an identity? 

"After ten months of trying to strike a deal with Disney, we're moving on," Pixar CEO Steve Jobs said in a press release. "We've had a great run together -- one of the most successful in Hollywood history -- and it's a shame that Disney won't be participating in Pixar's future successes." 

Aussie Rules is the best! None of that crappy armor, full on collisions and tackles, and any sized player can play provided they have the skills. 

sure you may like American Football but your rant against soccer is about as narrow minded as they come. I'm not a huge soccer fan but even I can see appreciate some of the skills and tactics involved. 

football idiot! 

Come on, Nitin, I have designs to do; sure Photoshop is just another window a way, but left brain and right brain are competing for equal time up there. My rant on soccor could not have been the most narrow minded; it wasn't long enough to be the most -- just two lines, an observation on the pile up strategy that is employed and my reaction to it.

Besides that that was just in jest; it was all in jest -- the digs scampie and I traded were in jest. I didn't really get pissed off until that Billy Bob Tex bullshit that Wrath tried to pull. 

I tried to pull one over on good old headthump, but that bugger is just too jolly good a feller! 

Wrath, I could run rhetorical rings around you the entire night if I wanted without cramping up the gray matter (or is that, grey matter, Wrathy?)

INSULT.
RETORT.
WITTY SARCASM.
BACKPEDALING.
RENEWED ONSLAUGHT.
FEIGNED ALOOFNESS.
MATERNAL OBESITY JOKE.
FURIOUSLY TAKING THE HIGHER ROAD.

We could dance around all night, much to the amusement of scampie, but if you're gonna play the old 'I'm rubber, you're glue'-card, you don't get any ice-cream.

I swear -- the shit they teach kids in junior high nowadays, you wouldn't believe...

but I have more important things to do, so go about your business of sucking up to the Continentals and whisper sweet nothings in their ears about how inferior you think we Americans are.

With that large a chip on your shoulder it's a small wonder you don't keel over. When did I ever say that americans were inferior? (And all you other wise-cracks in here can stow it, I'm talking about tonight.) Far be it from me to psycho-analyze you like this, but maychance you shouldn't have been breast-fed for so long.

If you get this pissy over a bunch of apes in lycra, you're in the wrong place. 

he he he 

good try, but you still fail the Turing test. 

who is being pissy; you see me writing posts that take fifteen minutes or more to write, four hours after the initial conversation?

'If you get this pissy over a bunch of apes in lycra, you're in the wrong place'

What is the right place? The tortured hell that is your commie pleasing mind? It must be pretty difficult to square that Marxian 'people are not leaches' screed in your head with your actual contempt for working class culture.
'apes in lycra', is that a racial slur because if you haven't notice a lot of those 'apes' you call are of the African-American persuasion. I never play the race card, but you are starting to sound nasty. 

Took two calls to tech support to get the network settings reloaded, but I'm back. 

Sorry for putting this in the wrong forum before.

Poolshark is a Padman style DM/TDM map, complete with pool table, bar, bookshelves and grandfather clock (screen here: http://web.onetel.net.uk/~stevenchapman/stchdm1-overview8x.jpg ). It's very, very big.

Enjoy - or not. It's your call.



----moderator's notice----

Moved to 'general abuse' because there was special thread dedicated to this map already. Yet it was clear from it that the map was in the final build already. Appearing of this post was rather confusing. And i thought that it'll be confusing for everyone because noone expected there will be final release 2.
So if someone wants to post their thoughts regarding this map, go here:

I seem to remember submitting a 100brush contest map back in the day -- it was pretty bad but it didn't come in last in the voting (!) It was ikblue and named 'Raj Maul' or something like that BUT!! BUT!!

It's not in the 100brush .zip! I don't have the source or the .bsp but I distinctly remember submitting this map! So my question is...who edited me out of history... -_- 

100b2.zip file instead ...

That's the poorest attempt at trolling I've ever seen, sirrah. 

Go into any black community in the USA and repeat those ignorant remarks and it would be the last we see of your your stupid ass. Do I believe you are a racist? I don't know you well enough to make that characterization, but if you are not than you are one socially defective dumb hump if you could not see the obvious implications of that remark. That is not rhetorical overkill on my part, there is something lacking there in you.

Whether it stems from racism or not, you have a supremecist attitude. Your opinions are prejudices and irrational sentiments that function for the sole purpose of propping up your supremicist mentality, be it white southerners, or ethnic groups. It shakes you up inside when you see someone smarter than you and funnier than you agrees with nothing you have to say. 

I'm sorry, I just can't stop giggling at this argument. This is all just so fantastically hilarious!

Seriously though, I think 'apes in lycra' refers to the gorillaesque stature and mind of most american football players. Not their skin color or land of origin or anything... 

but that is not how it would be interperted by those wearing the uniforms, czg. You may not be aware of this but being called an ape is every bit as offensive as the 'N' word in the African American community, and the overwhelming majority of football players are African-American. 

Whoever said this place was dead? 

It was the second 100 brush comp, not the first.

Yours came 8th out of 10.

Headthump: From a european perspective, what CZG is saying is pretty accurate; I've never once heard the term 'ape' used as a racial insult, nor heard of it being one. Let's just leave it down to transatlantic misunderstanding and leave it be? 

I just explained the interpertation that that term would get on this side of the Atlantic. Being from Norway, an entirely different culture, there is no reason to think CZG would have been aware of this aspect of American culture.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!
