I was expecting july and I want to have one map ready (I have several near completion) but I just don't feel like mapping much lately. August should give me enough time to get one of them finished at least. 

Where oh where has Starbuck gone? I've left him emails, snuck around his house at night, and have been fawning over his picture in the high school yearbook. But he's not returning my calls :(

Heh. You there man? 

Any luck finding him?
Do you have any update on whether or not the site will be ready? ;) 

I'll go ahead and paste the relevant snippets from his email:
"sorry about being MIA, I'm not actually dead, but I'm ridiculously busy right now. I'd still like to help, but I can't guarantee to have any free time in the next few days unfortunately. Currently I'm stuck in iceland with no real internet connection, and some rather intense project milestones to meet by friday back in the UK. Yeah I know, cry me a river.

Also, I hope you know I'm not much help to you with the backend coding side of things... my expertise is in graphic/web design, I'd be wasting both of our time doing database stuff. But hey, if you want some pretty templates done I'm your man!"

I let him know that graphic-wise, we'll probably simply modify some of the previous sites - provided we can get access from theplanet (or even calling Echon). We're still on :D 

can't finish my map for qexpo as not only am I busy with lots of rl stuff after having split up with my gf of 5 years but my computer has broken so I can't really do anything now. I hate computers. 

I smell a post coming to the Drunk Thread... 

my maya map will not be ready for ^Qexpo :\ this year i think i will have only screenshoots... 

Rough patch there :( 

Admittedly I heat up quickly, especially if the circumstances are encouraging (looking at no one in particular here), but let's say I undrama and get no additional shit for anything, then I could have a map ready. Deal?

Problem:

I'm probably away for some time, between August 02 and 16th or 18th or something. I could finish it this week and then someone else could post it or I could deliver at the end of the expo.

Need:

-Expo end date
-someone to make a bunch of screenies that aren't too dark
-perhaps someone with a fast machine to help with VISing the final map
-a few playtesters again (OK Sielwolf? Neg!ke?)

good karma to Than :-/ 

I whould like to have something this year :( but the i dont think i can finish tchak even my boss will be away in the next 15 days... i need many many hours of mapping and i will not have time :\ maby next year... but i will be a "speedmapping" 1 day mapping for exemple i will join to contribue with anything! 

Sounds good.
- tentative end date would be August, 19
- ok
- ok
- ok 

Sorry to hear that. The maps are well worth the wait. 

I'll get my ass in motion then. 

YE than maps are to fucking sexy!!! 

so will it be good to go in 5 days? 

Who's got stuff for release during the expo? 

Always busy at least for the next few maps, so much unfinished stuff. I do civil service at the ambulance (instead military service) 

Ricky, Spirit, zwiffle, rj (?) - remix maps
negke - 768 map
gb - quoth2 map
probably some others? 

as his delicate wrist must be preserved for mapping only... 

We might be a day or two off schedule, but I just got the php and mysql backend uploaded for the site. Just need to configure it all now. 

postHASTE!! 

so? will we have a speedmap event or what?

:\ is the only thing i will have in time to contribute... 2 days turtle or something... :! 

... will QEXpo happen... actually ?? 

good point JPL... :| 

some problems with mysql caused a hiccup in the calendar for them, but the relevant data from quakedev should be getting passed along to tastyspleen (they've already got the 06 php). i dont know where things stand at the immediate moment, as im only mildly in contact with the planners about it.

real life definitely interfered with my participation for anything Quake this year, as i surmised it might have.
