lamest beef ever

Nominees:
(in no particular order, yet....)

1. Spirit for being a humourless prick with a stick up his arse

2. OTP for beefing everyone and everything.

3. Dumptruck DS for being an anti-free-speech scene-splitting fascist

4. Shambler for being a foul -mouthed child

5. LavaCroft for drama-leaving #tf

6. Killes for reappearing full stop

7. Negke for watching every single one of my mapping streams but not joining #tf

8. Metlslime for refusing to upgrade func_ to any form of useful functionality

9. Tddaz for playing Dusk, abandoning customgamer, and giving #tf into the hands of a moron

10. [The ever popular people's nomination - submit below]


So please post your top 3 votes, including your personal nomination if suitable below. Then in a couple of weeks time we can celebrate that although 90% of people here are utter twats, some are bigger, flappier twats than others :) 

For lowering the barrier to entry too much and letting us have a scale tool

Then #2 and some more #2




:----) 

dusk wouldnt be that bad if it had a solid visual style. the map structures are actually good. 

for leaving the Quake scene. 

SleepwalkR for allowing sub-integer grid sizes and thus allowing me to make appalling and disgusting botch jobs. 

If they're not even in the community anymore?

Anyhow I vote 2, 4, and ionous for 10, not that I have any beef with him, but I think he'd find receiving a Quake Crapaward funny. 

 

 

For not finishing ter shibboleth and getting frustrated with it.

And then I nominate myself for thinking everyone has to enjoy my work and any criticism is a personal attack against me. 

 

I was actually wondering when the moronic "community split" debuckle would spill over to func, since there's some air to be cleared in this regard, and boy oh boy does it happen to be in the beef thread no less.

If you move back to earlier this year, you probably won't even remember this wholly unremarkable former #terrafusion poster, whose entire claim to fame have been two middling maps and reactionary alt-right responses to anything criticising the sentient fatberg at 1600 Penn Ave. You won't remember because they haven't actually been there in many months - after trying to "embed myself in the func/tf community" they realised that they "just don't fit in there". Of course this has nothing to do with being called out on being a stupid trump cocksucker.

Those quotes actually come from the Trenchbroom discord server, where this refugee from #tf sought asylum. It didn't take long for them to try to "embed" themselves in that place either, with pretty hilarious results, such as telling people to google it when they asked for easily available links, or calling first-time-mappers' WIP editor shots ugly. A great way to keep people interested in mapping for Quake if I ever saw one.

So about a month or so in, this ex-terrafuser has firmly "embedded" themselves in the TB server, and has apparently brought a lot of friends with them, a fact that has not gone unnoticed at #tf, with others remarking how the average age seems to have apparently dropped to 13. (A number vastly inflated by Dumptruck's mere presence.) All the while, our nameless Byronic Hero laments the fact that despite their herculean efforts, the nasty skanks at #tf rejected their courtship and advances. Soon they're even joined by another dropout with an attitude.

This merry paradise continues until early July, which is when the Trenchbroom discord gets "raided" by somebody our ex-terrafuser seems to know personally. Apparently this is how Generation Z likes to spend their summer, so maybe the end of our world is actually warranted. After this terrible and earth shattering event, wherein dozens of people received a tiny notification in their browser tabs, this person and their new partner in crime seem to actively pursue moderator privileges on #trenchbroom - which, incidentally, were previously denied to another poster, since SleepwalkR said there's no need to moderate the channel - due to the virtue of "being around a lot".

Now imagine we live in an alternate universe where that happened. This friendly guy was already treating themselves as some sort of authority on #trenchbroom, despite their limited-at-best experience. Assume they were trusted with actual moderator powers (which imply not only control, but also a degree of trust and community "status", Killes I am putting that word in quotes specifically for you, HTH) there, while still talking nonsense about "the quakedads" on func and tf.

Is that not the instant recipe for a community split between #trenchbroom and func?? It definitely was to me. This was potentially a real problem, because dumptruck's mapping tutorials were rapidly gaining popularity, and each and every one of them featured a link to the trenchbroom discord, which became debased with time.

So that same day, I pitched the idea of hosting a new server to dumptruck, as a kind of "neutral zone" between #tf and #trenchbroom. He agreed that a more reasonable discussion server should exist, and almost 6 months later, here we are! 367 members, making it the largest Quake mapping oriented discord in existence. And practically everybody is happy with it, save for 2 or 3 tf regulars who break out in cold sweat when seeing the server rules such as "Be kind and respectful to others" and "Act in a professional manner".

And our self-exiled jizzstain? I actually joined #trenchbroom a couple weeks later and started hanging out, the mere notion on which caused them to shrivel up like a cock in the cold and disappear. "otp claims another victim", yells out a func poster who prefers to stay anonymous! ":grin: yeah dude is cucked af. lmao", cries out another!

Hope you enjoyed the story of how the Quake Mapping Discord not only didn't cause a community split, but actually prevented one! 

If you decide to actually and unironically vote for 3...

...you actually mean to vote for 2 instead! 

Anyway, was hoping I'd be on Omnishambles' list. I suppose I'll have to try harder. 

Write in for Scampie. If not him then bler for sure. 

I vote for everyone cause i hate you all. You soulless heathens 

Apart from the bit about it being cool, and the idea that anyone would read it.

And not saying out right it was Mariteaux.
