What's This Spammage? 
 
Ehh 
Can anyone get into #tf. Looks like gamesnet.net has been going through some litigation and whatnot. Is the server down as as a result until it's moved or something? Thanks.

Use irc.gamesurge.net.

On The Review.. 
Do you guys agree with the score I gave rpgsme? It seems like it might be a bit low, but I usually think of it like "If CZG07 is a 20/20..."

So I considered that a 20/20 couldn't just do everything right, it would have to also be amazing. A map that did everything right and had some cool features would probably be an 18. A good map would be in the 14-17 range. I consider rpgsme to be a really cool and original idea, but I didn't want to rate it over a 15 or 16 because it was a mini-pack and not a true pack or standalone map. 
I Agree. 
...completely. 
Tronyn 
score was fine, so were the ones in your last few views 
Hm... 
maybe it's just me, but i personally think all the scores should be much much lower to make room for future increase of mapping quality.

the trick would be not to look at the fractions as actual percentages, but more just a general score...

that's the one thing i dislike about underworldfan's (and now, Tronyn's) reviews. personally, i think it would have been better off with either: no score, or a much more general looking one, like something subjective: Near Perfection, Excellent, Good, Decent" instead of a definitive 19/20 or whatever...

but i guess it's too late to change anything this far into the game, so i guess that was pretty useless, eh? :) 
I've Noticed When Reading Archived 
review sites, that the 10 out of 10 given in the Spring of 97 would not be so impressive by the Fall of 97 when new editors came out and better quality maps became the norm. I can even see Doom3 having a direct impact on how we map for Q1. Last week for the parody theme which I intended to be my first speedmap entrance, I did a Tenebrae parody, where I baked exagerated shadows and glossiness into the standard tech textures using Photoshop. I decided not to use it as it would be a little cruel to that hard working but aestheticaly challenged team, but the end result was nearly convincing.

You have to judge whatever it is on the merits of the competition as it is today, not what it could possibly be tomorrow. That's just stupid.

Oh, Ramshackle, how I miss thee! 
Well 
I would do a DM review site if people were interested enough in writing. 
Ramshackle.... 
...indeed, we each died a little on that tragic day.... 
Err... 
Anybody else having a problem with gamesurge? My cable went out, then came back on, and now I'm having trouble connecting to it (other IRC servers work fine)... 
No Problems Here, Biff. 
 
Grah. 
Well, someting is amiss, here. I've even reinstalled mIRC, and I still can't seem to connect. Dunno what could be up =( 
Same 
I've been trying for a bit now with no luck. We need to find a stable suitable server. 
 
gamesurge is perfectly stable, nobody else is having problems. 
Well... 
...if it keeps Prod out, that can't be a bad thing?? =)
