Its worth noting that the uncalled for snooty response wasnt from anyone on func. OTP and skacky spoke in defense of repus. (Sepulcher review)
I put a lot of time into my map. Hope he likes it. Repus Guest
2 December 2017, 10:35 Well, Mr. Guest (couldn't think of something less banal for the nickname?), I actually did wrote positive comments on some levels, for example The Canal, and I actually do know what goes into map making, 'cause I created a level of my own back in early 2000's. Your statement about only negative comments shows that you haven't downloaded many levels from this resource, otherwise you would definitely find some positive feedback. There are no rules on this website allowing only positive comments, and the fact that I don't like some levels that the majority of people adore is, perhaps, I have better refined taste and I don't follow the crowd that just likes 95% of what is posted over here. That's too bad for me, 'cause it's hard for me to find a level to enjoy. https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/ion01.html How's that for an uncalled-for snooty response?? I think there is a good chance Repus might be delighted by the attention and start writing and singing songs for Skacky/Naitelveni/mukor ;)
Scratch that...I read some of Repus' offensive reviews and he fucking deserves to be shit on and hope he does not feel delighted by the attention :D

Yes, I am aware of that. I wasn't blaming anyone on Func for that reponse and I appreciate that they spoke up in defense of Repus. I am also aware of the comment quoted in its entirety above. I don't condone that comment by any means, but it is in my opinion important to keep in mind that Repus was clearly getting defensive after being called out by Guest, whose criticism of Repus's earlier comments, though not entirely unjustified, was itself a little too strongly worded and exaggerated. You see this sort of thing all the time. Plus, it's important to note that despite the defensively worded response to Guest in the ion01 comment section, Repus seems to have taken especially JMP's criticism to heart, and has subsequently left comments that were still critical, but more respectfully worded. In any case, the point is that there are many comments on Quaddicted that are a little silly/too emotionally worded/etc. Responding to the person in the relevant comment section, as JMP did to Repus, or as onetruepurple did to MikeTaylor and Greed, is an appropriate way of dealing with it. Directly referencing it in a map pack title is not. Besides, quoting and drawing attention to an unfortunately worded comment by Repus or MrKilles's second comment above arguably just proves what I said before, namely that this comes across as mean-spirited, even if it wasn't the intention.
@mukor, again, I don't mean to suggest that you or Skacky or Naitelveni weren't being genuine. Even if the content creators took offense at the guys attitude, maybe they created maps with a title to give a fuck you to offender...making something positive of it for others at the same time.
I think its the liberty of the offended creators to do something like this. Its not even rude, its productive, and it evacuates some frustration, awesome! If repus were a respectfull critic, and/or a content creator and not some offensive cunt it would be something else.. You cannot justify that this would drive anyone away excpet for repus himself maybe. Fucking stop pansying about. Repus : 0 Eveyone else : +1 I wasn't part of this speedmapping session, apart from playing and enjoying the maps and spicing up Skacky's news post.
I do appreciate that you've posted some serious discussion on any controversy without just insulting people. Thanks for responding.
I wasn't part of this speedmapping session Yes, I realise you weren't a co-author, but I directed my post to you as well in your capacity as moderator, seeing as you can edit the name and content of the release post/thread after the fact. And see #3946 for yet further proof of what I mean. Fine I went overboard with the offensive cunt part.
It still stands in my opinion that it was a positive and inclusive response to repus imo. aaaanyways "Fuck func, fuck terrafusion. Keep your hostility to your own "community", you insensitive shitheads." This looks like some pent up issues waiting for an outlet and not about this repus titled sm at all.... 2018 is around the corner and it seems we will reach 100 maps in 2017 lets start the new year with haste! Copper textures are the theme and the deadline is 7.1.2018 sunday.
texture link: https://www.quaddicted.com/files/wads/ Have fun! It's a great idea but I cannot participate in this one. Looking forward to seeing what people come up with.
I'll try to come up with something for SM181.
Just a question regarding the rules of such mapping adventures: Is one restricted to use copper.wad *exclusively*? but the more you stick with the theme the better. There is also many cases and its encouraged a lot, about using speedmaps from other sessions, even if the theme doesn't match.
I never worked with these textures and am new to speedmapping... things will certainly look rough and unpolished.
Nonetheless a few peeks at my entry "Santan's Farty Underpants": https://imgur.com/a/RbgQJ The map is, of course, titled "Satan's Farty Underpants"...
Of course, "Santan" could be a weird Santa/Satan hybrid creature... things will certainly look rough and unpolished.
Then its going to be a genuine speedmap, so don't worry and make it fun for you. .. if the time limit is more than a couple days you should probably just call it a jam. Copper Jam sounds pretty funky too
