What I think would work is to announce a list of restrictions for the week.

Like:

A) Use only knave.wad
B) No grunts, no knights
C) Must include a quad

Stuff like that, you know? Then you have a week to build something that fits the requirements. 

Scampie and I are to blame? You should have come up with a more inspiring theme! It's your fault :P

I like the idea of having a list of restrictions that are announced for the week's speed mapping event. A week is a long time if you are single and unemployed or a student, but when you are working or have a family, it's not *that* long. Especially now there are less people involved in the Q1 mapping scene, and we're just as distributed as we ever were, having no strict time and allowing maps to be made with whatever time you happen to have during the week is good I think. 

Even I can achieve that...just not this week :| 

A) only use ID1 wad
B) mix base and medieval/metal/wizard design elements and or monsters
C) include a quad seems good to me!

How does that sound? Watch me not follow any of those hahaha 

and when? lets fix a date.... monday the 22nd? or sooner - whatever works best... and gets the most attendees, i guess... 

Alternatively we can use willem's restrictions, or others somebody wants to compose

just let us know 

I think.

id1 and knave are a little obvious... Would be awesome to see something very underused, like DKT3 or kingpin... 

Kell's Fury set?

That would be fine with me. Could someone upload a wc 3.3 version for me. I have had no luck converting textures.

Also open to alternatives depending n what people prefer.

Hopefully that should work, I used to us WC3.3 a lot before TB came out. 

how about rubicon 2 textures! 

I second that. I prefer those. I was already thinking of using some WITH the fury textures
... 

thanks Fifth 

Ok then, I'm in for rubicon2.

So it's not a speedmap.

1 quad + rubicon texture set. 

It's always the same, lots of suggestions but no real decision and eventually no one maps at all. The successful phases of speedmapping in the past went down because someone took the lead and made clear announcements. Not "hey, let's" or "what about", but SM169 - theme: make a map using at least two textures from Knave, DKTe3, Rubicon2 and Fury. Send it in by Monday morning. Bam! 

 

is that a logical AND XOR an OR 

Ok, I have made a screenshot of one of the speedmap packs for you -

I can make more of these if you wish, I can't send you pictures though cause I can't find your email address anywhere. :P 

You could correctly guess Spirits email. Trust me. First logical thing to spring to mind is it. 

I'm being dense today... there's a clue in his profile. 

Who else is in?

Mine is built but needs to be lit, will be sorting that Monday.

Rule recap;

Rubicon textures
Must include a quad
Deadline Monday

They can be sent to me if nobody else wants the job. 

this was going to happen... doubt I could make anything worth playing in just 2 days. To be honest though I'm not a fan of the rubicon set (yeah I know that's probably going to get me killed around here) 

And it's fun to just throw stuff together :)

I'm not that big on the speedmapping, but it seems to be about trying stuff out and having fun mapping for a short while.

It doesn't need to be awesome or perfect, just done.
