1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 1/2 pounds fresh shrimp, shelled and deveined without tails 1/2 cup olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 shallot, chopped 1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed 2 tablespoons white wine 2 tablespoons brandy Directions 1. In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly. Dredge shrimp in flour mixture. 2. In a large skillet, saute dredged shrimp in olive oil for 5 minutes over high heat. Toss shrimp often to prevent burning. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a serving dish, leaving the oil in the pan. 3. In the same pan, saute the garlic, shallot, parsley and oregano over medium heat for 3 minutes; stirring constantly. Spoon the mixture over the shrimp. Return pan to the heat. Preheat your broiler for medium heat. 4. Pour the wine and brandy into the skillet and ignite with a match or lighter. When the flames die down, stir to loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet; pour over shrimp. 5. Place the serving dish of shrimp in a preheated broiler for about 2 minutes.

k..... i didn't want to post in this again because there really was no point. But now that someone has brought it back from the dead....
I started this forum when i was banned from Terrafusion, and scampie ignored me, in hopes that i would be unbanned and scampie would at least answer my questions. I was hoping for some real answers, rather than supporting scamp because he owns TF. Of course, since this is such a small community focused around TF, i got no real answers. Now that i really don't care anymore, Metslime can delete this thread if he wants to. But i must say, this community has developed to the worst community i've seen (i am comparing it to what it used to be 1999-2002 with Qboard and PeejNfribs). It is just full of flaming in TF, with very little discussion about level designing or quake. The best example of this is when speeds left, and he said he wasn't coming back to the community (scampie, and the rest of the people on TF spent at least an hour talking about how "gay" he was) To be blunt and honest like myself, I've delt with people like you vermeulen, you promise them what they rightfully deserve but then the project changes and you expect them to do it for free. You can't live off nothing, thats why people have jobs to begin with. Volenteering for a studio to do work for them for free won't put food on the table, better yet, won't put a table for food there. Besides, how can you pay morgages with a bottom line of nothing. If you are going to ask someone to do maps for you and he downright asks for payment, if you cannot or know that you may not be able to promise it, you don't hire them, simple as that.
By the time scampie hears he will not be getting paid probably, he could have already made maps for a serious gaming company, one that would have paid him. Time well wasted. I've had this problem with many sites I've done coding or would have done coding for, they say pay, they shaft you and don't give you a penny for it. Vermeulen, goto hell. I can see your point taco, it is valid. But i never told scampie i would pay him for sure. at the time i wanted to publish the game, and i said if i did i would split it with the team if it got published.
I DID not promise him money. I did not say this was a way to get into the industry. Then he came up to me asking me for a contract, i said to him that this was not anything like that, that this was basicly just a MOD team trying to publish a game. I was not one of those people (and i know the idiots you are talking about) promising the team members money for their work, then just let the project die. at the time i wanted to publish the game, and i said if i did i would split it with the team if it got published.
So you were planing to potentially publish and as a result make money from the project. Even if it's only a possibility if things go right you should work out agreements BEFORE money starts rolling in. I was not one of those people (and i know the idiots you are talking about) promising the team members money for their work, then just let the project die. You don't have to promise them money no matter what but should have a contract to guarantee they get their share if any money ends up being made. He wanted a contract that says he gets money no matter what....
But i am glad to see i am getting some response ...in fact it's like car-crash TV on constant repeat, because the same arguments go round and round again with no apparent differences.
"He wanted a contract that says he gets money no matter what...."
Damn him for expecting a paycheck in return for time spent, damn his commie hide to hell! To hell I say! I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you are 20 years old, previously unemployed, and are running this show from your parents basement. But i must say, this community has developed to the worst community i've seen (i am comparing it to what it used to be 1999-2002 with Qboard and PeejNfribs).
We aim to please, mind the claymores. I couldn't care less about who said what, but boy, do you lot (scampie, and those who "praise" him") have a sucky attitude. Replying every attempt at discussion with evasive rudeness sure is smart. No wonder this community shrinks and has been getting more pathetic over time.
Hey, if you are going to be elitist, do it right: make sure your superiority has some basis in reality (i.e. you have significant stuff to be proud of), and you actually have an audience of non-elite people to stand above. You people have neither.
