Will we have to wait 4 more years for the next compo?

Sorry, RGB not rub (auto correct)... Rimrook is correct!

It's a pity that ideas have started coming to my mind only now.

If a person is good, nice to talk with, etc, then I usually don't care if it's a furry or whatever. You get the point I hope.

Yeah, like I'm open to the idea of and accepting furries, right? Because there's just people that way now, and I know a few personally. But I wouldn't ever consider myself one, or at least belonging to the general community that most people would perceive. And if I ever did, I wouldn't make a forum post throwing all that information out there. But I guess directly posting to furry sites would be like a massive circlejerk. That's just my opinion. Like I don't ridicule people for wanting to be that way.

@Admer456 Technically we are all animals, that's just how we're classified on the tree of life.
Also, haven't kept up with the mods' lore and whatnot. Can you give a ELI5 on that? Is Jody just part of the mod or is she just in it?

My comment wasn't intended to shock or offend at all. I like to think I'm pretty level headed and very open minded. Just trying to prevent you from feeling like you're being attacked on other sites is all.

However, thanks for clarifying. I admit I hadn't really kept up to speed regarding Jody and your mod's lore...

Happy 26th?

Thanks for understanding Trempler, I get the list of entries directly from the competition page, it's a bit difficult trying to keep track of everyone any other way. Sorry for missing yours

For the next competition I will make sure to post a list of entrants on the forum thread, so anybody who is missing can double check to make sure they are on the list. Hopefully we'll have the new website up by then which makes it a lot easier to see and manage your competition entry.

Happy Birthday!

A lot of valid criticisms on mine. I wasn't ready to start chopping up the layout to fix them, though. It's real hard to give people a good reason to go into the water, it turns out. And the large open spaces were somewhat unavoidable given the setting.

Also, IIRC, Archie gets Urby's soul.

Lol.

Nah convert the hex code to rub colours

Congrats to the winners!! I'm satisfied with the review on mine lol.

@WorstMapper
Well, OH MY GOD, EVEN THE FURRIES WOULD NOT LIKE IT.
That's just... I barely and hardly watched the entire video.

Some furries simply aren't like that, though.
I'll have to ask Boo if he has ever worn a fursuit and been to a furry convention. I'm curious right now...

Jody, though, she has never worn a fursuit. Her body got 'edited' into what she is now. >:D
Except Jody isn't real. That's disappointing and it makes me feel a little sad. :c

Edit for my post up there:

Happy 73-47 birthday!

I'm not a furry enthusiast.
I understand what you're saying. A lot of people hate furries, a lot of people are fine with them, a lot of people simply ignore and avoid them, a lot of people are furries, and I fit nowhere among that.

I simply like the idea of anthropomorphic animals and I have a furry girlfriend, but I'm definitely not willing to participate in furry conventions, wear a fursuit etc.

And as I had stated there (I think I had), I only wrote that much about Jody only so people could understand why my interpretation of anthropomorphic animals (the ones which I'll place in my Far Cry mod) is such that it wouldn't contain the negative side effects like fur falling off, having to give tick and flea baths to Jody, having to withstand her 'dog breath' etc.

No, my mod's furries which I call "neo-furries" (I hope the name isn't taken) are different! They're essentially humans which have undergone genetic modifications followed by pretty long body-mod periods (when they're contained in chambers with a special liquid where their bodies get "edited").

Hmm, yeah. I hope I managed to make it a bit shorter than the one at quakeone.com.

I'd say "Just leave me alone for once." but... honestly, it's me who asked for this attention, so I say "Bring it on if you want."

And, of course, the only places I'd mention my liking of furries (I mean anthropomorphic animals) are small communities such as TWHL, CryMods, and of course, in private, like when I chat with Boo on Discord. :3
QuakeOne seems to be a relatively big community, so I shouldn't mention it there, lol.

Edit:
Also, Urby, now I know what happened when I felt "a disturbance in the Force" while I was mapping, I think it happened an hour or 30 minutes ago.
I can't describe it, I'd simply call it "a disturbance in the Force". I basically had a feeling about something bad going to happen, lol.
That "bad" being the fact that you shocked me a little bit with your reply. Eh, could've been worse.

Oh right, you telling me "if you're a furry enthusiast" shocked me. You clearly knew that I'm not like that. But you can freely get away with it, you added "if".

Oh, it was that simple?

I searched that through Google and checked if the red, green and blue values correspond to the english alphabet character numbers...

I always overcomplicate things.

Seems pretty fun, with my skill though i'd probably end up making a collection of phallic shaped things.
On a somewhat related note, I signed up for a handcrafted leather shoe course, beginning in semptember, because that seemed fun as well. The catch is, I signed up thinking this was a generic 6 month course and now it turns out the damn thing can last up to 2 years.

I think i just dug my own grave.

Well I did read and also did clicked but maybe my internet was shitty, shit happens
Edit
Also no one contacted me of the jury for my missing entry, which is not a must have but would be usefull for such situations.

Congratz to the winners and it still was fun

Happy 73-47 birthday!

Copy it into graphics editing software into colour code, or just paste that into Google. It's about last values.

Happy birthday!

P.S. How do I decipher that? xd

Just an idea, but if you're a furry enthusiast, maybe join a community focused on that when you feel the need to write large elaborate stories about it.

Bottom line, not everyone is accepting of the whole furry scene and, especially when interacting online, people don't tend to filter what they say. That guy on the quake forum was only stating that nobody cared. The thread seemed to be focused on Quake Rule34 and how ridiculous it was. (Probably not the smartest place to then open up about your anthropomorphic fox girlfriend)

A guy I work with is a full on furry. He has a fursuit, attends conventions, has a 'mate,' the whole deal. He doesn't talk openly about it outside of the circles he is in regarding that particular part of his personal life.

Just think about where you post about this stuff if you want to avoid ridicule.

I'm assuming this is another mysterious birthday journal, so:
Happy birthday!

Congrats all who entered! They'll all be on Goldsource Gold very soon.

Too bad about Trempler not officially entering! I think he should get an honorable mention at least, for a great map and for having the original idea to kick this compo off. It'd be nice to have his map showcased on the page even though it wasn't actually entered.

Still going to finish my map one day.

Trempler's instant win button was undergoing maintenance, lucky you

Congrats to all contestants.

I can count my lucky stars that Trempler didn't officially submit his entry. It was utterly brilliant. Seriously massive shame that it's not listed here. If only you were as talented at reading the rules as you are at mapping, Trempler!!!

I'd personally put Jessie's map in the top 3 over Crossedwire, but I'm pleased that my bribes worked as intended. Absolutely phenomenal job, everyone who submitted. The standard of work on display here was staggering. I'm glad the most fun entry won - we had an absolute blast on it on the server.

Well, Black Mesa is an equal opportunity employer after all...

Wish you a wonderful 73-47 birthay!

It's so bad that Trempler didn't participate. Stalkfire would get a gold, or at least a silver.

Well, congratulations to the winners. :^)

Yay, I got not-last place!

Omg, I've noticed such a big mistake...

"but Boo under 20."
Damn. I didn't put an "is" because I originally put "but he's under 20.". Then I proceeded to edit the post and put Boo. Ah well, I forgot to put "is". XD

I can't watch the video now because my cousins are in the room at the moment. I only looked at the title "All The Single Furries!" and I realised I should close the tab. xd

@Admer456

Watch it and think again xD

I'm going to just believe that Black Mesa is on that bus route.

He's older than me, for sure. I'll not tell his exact age, but Boo under 20.
uwu

How old is boo, admer?

@Bruce
I made this post pretty long, so skip to the bottom.

Anyway:
That's just your opinion. I don't consider myself a furry since I prefer my human form, I don't go to furry conventions, I've never worn and I'll never wear a furry costume (fursuit, isn't it called?) and so on...

Jody, on the other hand, would look somewhat like this.
She's still different, covered entirely in fur unlike the girl in the image. Also, her fur colour is more bright red. And she has short, red hair with a few green stripes. :3

By the way, I just found it here (click if you dare). (it's a thread at quakeone.com)

My furry girlfriend caused me some negative attention at quakeone.com, lol. But then, all furries have to deal with negative attention. I'm not saying that I'm a furry. But if I'm a furry at all, then I'm right at the bottom of the spectrum of being a furry.

About the negative attention at QuakeOne... well... they would wreck me.

I'm both sad happy that the replies stopped on that thread. If somebody starts the fire on me again, I'd be getting panic attacks upon entering the site.

--------- Stop skipping ----

So yeah, I'm simply not an animal. But, technically, aren't all of us animals?
See, if humans evolved from apes, they would be considered animals as well (which we apparently are, right?). Yeah, your post, Bruce, applies to all of us here, except for these extra-terrestrial organisms, if any.

Also, I got a name for him: Boo.
That furry I met really likes being called Boo (because it's squishy :p), so I'll just refer to him as Boo from now on.

you are an animal

@WorstMapper
Lol, I know. I like the idea of anthropomorphic animals as well.
I just wondered what it would be like.

I'm not saying it's bad. In fact, I love talking with him. And I give most of my attention to him just because he's a furry. xd

Ask him if he becomes ill will he go to veterinary?

Btw furries not bad people (or animals) if you talk with them from faaar away. I met them in my past. It wasn't so bad.

Well, in this case, I meant "furry" like "an individual who loves the idea of furries; likes to imagine that he/she's an anthropomorphic animal; browses furry porn (that's optional, though)".

Yeah. Well, looks like I haven't been rekt yet. I'm yet to see that, though...

i was a furry until i shaved

Ah okay, that explains it.

@JeffMOD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_symbols#Lambda
Granted, that one in particular does look very Half-Life-y.

^ What they said. Crowds make me nervous and wear me down, but it looks like all involved were having fun.

Also what was that Lambda doing on that bus? Looks suspiciously familiar...

And I just had a major brain hiccup while typing this post because I got not regular deja vu, but double deja vu, to the point where I felt compelled to check your prior journals to make sure I hadn't actually seem something similar in one of them...

My biggest proud? Mapping? Drawing? Music? Video game dev?

Fuck that shit.

My biggest proud is my ability to make my wife laugh.

@NineTnine

But why not?
After all, it is the truth, and I (mostly) tell the truth. The truth is, for example, that I've been playing GMod for the last few days instead of working on my map.
Just as I don't like lying to others, I'd not like to lie to myself, so I'll just accept the truth that I don't have much to be proud of...

But on the other side, Jody's definitely got something to be proud of.

I'm not big on crowds, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't look like a good time.

Admer don't be so hard on yourself

But was it your biggest proud?

I've never been to a pride festival. I like the idea of the LGBT-event part, but not so much the heaps-of-people part. Maybe I'll get over the latter someday ><
