Er... already been mentioned. 
My pc sucks and so does my video card, but don't let that stop you going all out. This isn't an r_speeds compo.
Good to see experienced mappers want to challenge themselves with this compo, which was exactly what I wanted.
40 reference pics does seem a bit extreme though.

Huh? Cool site?
Thanks for that Haz. I respect your opinion quite a bit, and it's good to see you like the compo.
I would like people who are planning on entering to say so, and if you have ANYTHING you have a query about which concerns the compo, just ask.

Hello trapt! This is your 563rd login.
w00t!
Wow, you completely stuffed that up Ant. 
Your own photography will be fine. In fact it would give you an edge over other people since you know the area, so you know what to map where the reference picture doesn't show.
I really hope you do start Cap'n P. You have started in all the other compos since I've been here, and I have enjoyed both of the ones you actually sent in. So you better make one for this one, even if it unfinished.
Great to see such a positive response about the compo.
I will have an example map in the Example Vault very soon, to help any idiots that don't know what they are doing.
For inspiration, I recommend:
www.abandoned-places.com

Get mapping!

Hehe. The hilarity.
And you shall make all compo winners Ops, just as an incentive to win.

Define: RegularsWhich is why it should be Password protected. That way only the regulars would get in, since only they know the password. Otherwise it will eventually become just like the normal one is like now, with mappers asking questions in there because they would probably get more attention in the new one.
There's always different things to help get around the engine. If you use cameras, scaling everything down will help r_speeds DRASTICALLY.
Look forward to judging all of your entries, especially yours Captain P. That is if you finish of course.

Andy and I have discussed a few points:
-ABSOLUTELY NO "My house" or "My bedroom" entries. Or anyone elses house for that matter, unless it is somewhere famous or something.
-You can have more than one reference picture, just be sure to include them all when you upload.
-You can do anything in terms of gameplay. You can add monsters, cameras, or whatever you wish. It would however be better if there was a reason for the monsters being there. Entries with monsters for a reason will get extra points (for me, dunno about Andy) than entries with monsters in there for nothing.
-Feel free to email me with any questions about the compo. Or just ask in here.
Now Andy, would people be able to have paintings as a reference pic? Just interested.
Also good to see Atom putting page numbers at the bottom. There's the proof that he actually does care for us.
Have fun!

Sure. I'd stay in the original #twhl as well as teh new one.
#twhlregs sounds kinda corny. Anyways.
I think to stop stupid spammers, the channel should be password protected, and the password should only be distributed to those who aren't idiots and who ask politely for it in normal #twhl.

Sounds alright. I would like Half-Life or mod related wallpaper/screenshot competition. Just to keep you busy and fill in time between compos.
Shoots Ant and takes cookies and goes and hides with Osama.

How mean.... No one deserves her. She is too good for all of us.
I don't hate CS mappers. I just hate remakes of old maps and horrible fy maps that all look the same, just with different textures.

I see nothing wrong with CS. CS itself is a wonderfully created mod. We are talking about n00bs having "great" ideas and making shyzen mods.
'Twas a joke, since it's obvious atom isn't going to do anything about it.
Jesus Christ. Take a joke won't you.

Since the old "Funniest IRC quote ever" thread seems to have gone missing (looks at mods), here is a collection of the ones in that thread.

it's just a story, he didn't kill himself, no-one died, and the "ending" was supposed to be a .. 'omg! why isn't there any more? could he have died down there?!' kind of thing.Exactly. And thank me for cleaning up your language in that little quote PaLO.
You are not alone in making city maps. However, you are a loner in real life.

Good point. Although HL has been murdered with n00b mods.

Render modes and FX ammount don't seem to be doing much at all.I ugraded to Steam long before WON died, as I played CS 1.6 beta. I only map SP in WON because I find it easier to do.
:
I'll try copying the dll thing again.
And for you anonymous_guy: Seventh doesn't know anything? At least he has the intelligence not to be a faggot like you. Get a life, Asshole.
PS: Once again, the steam hw.dll and sw.dll just made WON get the error of Engine DLL failed or something....
I'll just make the trees out of brushes... shouldn't affect the r_speeds too much. I hope.
I copied the dll's to WON (the sw and hw dll's isn't it?) and it just stuffed up HL completely.... Had to reinstall.
I suppose I'll just leave them out.... They just added a bit of atmosphere. Leaving them out won't do anything too bad to the map anyways.

It is rendered properly in hammer. In game it is has the blue around the leaves.
The problem with testing in steam is that a lot of people don't play in steam. And I don't want it to look stupid for the WON people. I myself play SP on WON.

Well. I thought this was a n00b question. But no-one in IRC seems to know.
How do I make the blue parts on a tree MODEL transparent?
Render modes and FX ammount don't seem to be doing much at all.

Andy is always right! YOU MORONIC FOOLS!
Wow, 3 seconds? You suck. I can do it in less than 2.
Think about it.
An orgasm over SP would be so much better than an orgasm over MP....
wow. That sounds sooooo sick. :
(I have never had an orgasm over a map. Just so you know. )

No offence, just making a point.

so many people love the game but there is allways one or two people who say how rubbish it is cause they suk, if u played my clan 'L33NonGR33N' then u would be dead so fast weda killed u befor ued got of the spectator menu.....Precisely what everyone hates. 1337 speak, silly 8 year old n00b squeling on their microphones. Clan name proves that you are a bunch of freaking n00bs who have no idea.

In a way, it is an ending. Think about it. He says on that last page something along the lines of "expect me back in a couple days with a new journal entry in here."
But.... No Journal Entry. In other words, he didn't make it back. Perhaps that was the point. Perhaps that's how he wanted it to end. Perhaps he delibrately made that hyperlink to the next page that didn't exist for a reason.
Think about it. It makes perfect sense.

Yah. Broken links happen sometimes. Probably a fault in the server when you updated it.
Seventh, you missed out on "Leader of Homosexuals against Tony Blair Association," also known as "HATBA."
It's a shame you are the only member of the association though... poor Alex.

Meh. The cave part was true, about making the hole. What was through the whole however, was complete and utter bullshit.
Notice how each little bit of proof he had didn't end out coming up right? The photos of the heiroglyph? The video?
Whilst he had pictures of the round rock, who says that the round rock was past the Tomb? What would we know?
Put plain and simple, This man is a writer. It is quite easily noticed.
