Well, we talked via mail. I would have no problem doing it in "public".
Bloody hell, I am doing this for fun, just like mappers/coders work on their stuff for their satisfaction and fulfillment.
It's not like I reject stuff on a personal base or prejudice. If you don't like my reviews then go ahead submit different ones. Unless I feel they are very wrong I will not reject them. Yes, even if it's hours of my work I overwrite. However it would be nicer to review maps that are no reviewed yet for obvious reasons.
Just make sure your submissions are in somewhat decent english. (And without the script working with all the fields was nasty.) I will not spend my time fixing.
Maybe I should go a different approach and not review bad maps (whatever they are) but remove them from the listings so my rating is always positive. I could do like Shambler (wise man!) and have some minimum criteria.
Enough drama?
Gah, Wanted To Preview

The last paragraph is pure cynism of course.

I like the short reviews
because I usually don't read longer reviews:
Basically I want to play maps and not "read" them.
Example:
longer review: The quality of the map xy is decreasing, because 1).., 2),.. 3),... gameplay was ........
short review: Nice, idbase, author...
And after i played the map I know that the quality is decreasing without reading a longer review
Longer reviews are mainly interesting for those who made the maps to get feedback.
Uh Excuse Me

Nobody asked for a public discourse.
Just for clarification: Those are not reviews, just simple descriptions giving very brief information on a map's size, texture theme and sometimes extra stuff if necessary. What really counts is the author's name, release date and, most importantly, the screenshot.

If the map is called 'nice' 'poor' 'neat' in its description then its been reviewed, no matter how quickly.
It's a nice guide to what's worth downloading, depending on your level of interest, without opening a full review only to skip to the end to see the summation and avoid spoiling the first playthrough.
The new description system seems easy enough to input into, but I tried one for one of my own maps (tpof, average, its a turtlemap, needs Quoth) and it seems like the link is broken.
Anyhow, I thought func was the place for public discourse?
Public Discussion?

I sended you an email because I thought it was your case. I first had it on func_msgboard but I had the feeling that wasn't the place for it.
I won't ask your opinion again about revieuws. As your email explained not much more than your statement on keeping it so.
I can send you a nailgun if it helps the discussion here, but stay on toppic. You ask for contribution, you get it, but don't be so rude to lay it aside and ask me to remind you.
I don't mind, I don't want a flame war on this.
I thought I could be of help in some way. All I receive is someone who after months suddenly starts working on his site and decides he wants a decent overvieuw. Don't blame me on my bad language, change the arguement of the missing links of the maps to a link of the homesite. You want your site with quake maps being shortly reviewed, alright... I send you a telegram.
There is only one statement that stays very clear for me, as it is written as discription of grunt grenedin:
it's more about quantity than quality.
and that hurts, because it is the same statement you append to the whole shubhub site.
I won't mind, go ahead...same reason why I'll never make a speedmap, you name it.

After the first Vore turn right (don't go up the stairs) and go into the dark, you can hear the secret. There is a transporter in the corner under the stairs. Go through, push the button and raise the bars.

I got bit by mosquitos 7 times on my left calf muscle, 5 times on my right one, once on my right elbow, once on my right pinky, 3 times on my left arm and twice on my neck.
Take it like a man.

How was it? Not that I need to ask because Tim went but I may as well. :)

Mosquitos are practically begging for a xenocide.
If I had a choice between getting hit in the balls with a mallet or being bit by a mosquito, well, I would have to take the mosquito bite, only because I'm not that stupid. Otherwise, it would be a toss up.
No

I went to visit delirious grandparents and a crack-headed uncle. Oh yeah, and my mom was taking care of them all summer, so we went and kidnapped her and brought her back home.
I wish Gencon. :(

I always like looking at siggraph papers each year. They do cool stuff. Here's a cool video from one of this year's presentations:

That's brilliant, wish I could do that in photoshop, would be really useful sometimes.
Probably

wouldn't be that hard to program!
Really cool technology there... especially the erasure o_O
Probably...

since they've explained the basic concept pretty well, the main effort would be tuning the algorithm that determines which is the "line of least important pixels."

I now have Sock's mapping desk, Sock's mapping chair, and Spirit's quake rune.
I'm not in a living position yet to equip them both at once to see if they provide any set item bonuses, but if they do, I'd be curious what other relics exist out there. KungFuSquirrel tells me the the case that contained the computer that he made his Natural Selection maps with is still with him ...

#12606 posted by nitin on 2007/08/24 00:49:01
should definitly be exterminated.
lun, I think you need 3 items from the same bearer to get set item bonuses. See if sock has anything else.
Yeah...
#12607 posted by distrans on 2007/08/24 04:37:48
...a couple of the original studies for his egypt texz set should do it.

Or at least be muted. Nothing worse than lying in bed and hearing their buzzing near one's head.

So true neg|ke. But the worst I have ever seen is while camping in sweden/norway, during summer near a lake, it�s like the end scene of �300�, only with mosquitos instead of arrows :(
Damn Campers
That's what you get for camping!
