to cross post mapping events here on func as do many other people... not sure what the sm200 secrecy is all about. Not everyone is on the TF Discord and not everyone is on the Quake Mapping Discord

So why not cross post for the 100s of people who aren't on your Discord? 

It's not public because SM199 isn't done yet. 

Sorry to hear posting on func is giving you great pains, maybe it's time you considered a break. 

for the clarification.

Hopefully, it will be more successful than the Quake Accolades. 

Will it be more successful than the project you chose to completely not mention on your podcast? Who knows.

(At least ignoring it was better than enabling Scampie in his quest to rate everything skacky and I made a 1...) 

sm_199 will be fine. 

The private sm200 discord has been running since at least May. I was kicked from it last month right after calling sm197. Guessing because I didn't consult with otp, and muk was involved in the idea. 

Nothing surprising there. I can't wait to see the turn out for this one. Should be illuminating. 

lol 

Since you all seem so excited about it, come in and have a peek.

If people are going to just join, ask questions about it elsewhere, and then leave, maybe I should just keep it closed. 

I had some confusion about the theme and wasn't sure what all you intend to borrow from the linked doom event's structure. I'm personally not up for an endurance-mapping event, hence my leaving the channel, but I hope we get some good maps out of it and maybe draw in some new mappers and players :)

Best of luck to all participating! 

why open it up to plebs? 

#4236: I would have hoped that the words "get several mappers to livestream the making a speedmap one each, put them in sequence, release as SM200: a brand new community-made episode for Quake" were clear enough, sorry you were confused.

#4237: What the fuck are you even talking about? 

The cabal of l33t mappers. Don't sweat it. Good luck with sm200. Maybe we can hit 300 maps this year. 

In the space of an hour, you went from posting a constructive suggestion on the discord, then to saying something about "plebs" and deleting the suggestion, to saying "don't sweat it" and wishing us good luck, despite shitting on the idea on QM.

Are you sure you got your temper in control? 

Well, I was being polite actually. Sometimes that's not the best tact. There are some decent people involved with this so far and I wish them good luck. 

Aw, come on guys! Stuff like THIS, I think, is part why there's a whole thread dedicated to the toxicity of the Quake community. Some people might want to bring out the popcorn to check out the fireworks and drama, but I just wish you guys could get along. :c 

Just map if you feel like it. 

@everyone SM200 is now live.
