This isn't map a "sea ship" but map a "space/flying airctaft" ship... Does annyone else want to enter this one or do yall want to just come up with another theme by proposing an idea and seing if everyone else wants to. Once one is proposed that everyone likes we'd do it.
Any one else gonna enter?
Dude I already mapped metroid primes ship.. THats my entry. Won""" Lol but seriously if we did decide on map a "ship", I think that some standars ideas would help it be a more competitive "mini" compo. I think that it should be a "small" or just "not huge atleast" ship. And well shizah, thats about it wtf make a small ship. I "bet" I can map the neatest ship out of all uv yuz!!! Really , just need some other peeps enterin ta push me on worth. -If your not entering, its because you suck at mapping and caint compete with the zeebra! 
Thats your face because you caint map fow shiznat.
Thats your face because you caint map fow shiznat.I did. Map a ship.
I know, why is everyone freaking out about this. Its not that hard at all... You have (1-20) You give your favorite (20) and your worst (1). Theres 20 ideas to vote on. Than I count the numbers each idea got... Lol urban's reaction. 12+7+7+12 = 38 ...This must be some kind of foreign puzzle. Ill take off a few days to dedicate them to a mass investigation into the subject matter. Stand by.
So whos going to enter this comp? And... When should the deadline be?
It was like a "air craft" ship.

You can do it that way if you want just give me the other 14.
Just hilight and copy the list of 20 options from above. Paste it into this forum and than put a (20) next to your fav. theme. Put a (19) next to your sec fav. (18) next to your third fav. and so on. Just like I did above. The numbers on the left are just to number them. Well I have to go to work in an hour and a half so it would be cool to get the tallies done before I go in. I have four lists. If skals finishes his ill have five and that should be enough.
Skals, If you just give me the other 14 themes in order from what you like best to worst ill beable to tally them up.. That is if Urban and Darkie don't want to vote.
Yea probably but this way is the fairest way possible, idunno just wanted to try it, we don't have to do it like this next time... Its really easy to do.
vote now!! The list way please !!.. 
Think about this. Say I choose "map a library" as my favorite option so i give it a (20). Captain Terror chooses "map your dream house" so he gives it a (20). Captain Terror doesn't really like "map a library" so he gives it a (10). I kinda like "map your dream house" so I give it a (15). With this, "map your dream house" wins because it is the best averagely liked option even though its not my favorite. If we simply voted for our best options the old fashioned way we'd come to a tie! Just please try doing it this way it only takes a second anyway...
Works for me. You guys should really do it this way, it is the most fair way possible. And a tie is very unprobable. Once there all submitted ill do all the counting!

Dude I was gonna do it the method that I started. Its the most fair method, ive done lots of experimenting with it! I was just making the list. You don't even have my small library option.
Nice captain p. I'd do an "abstract black and white" theme with hints of colors in the architecture. Ninetine are you going to submit three ideas? And what about you captain terror? This is yalls last chance, the list will be made in only a few hours. I like your fav.s too rim, maybe the first one will win. Well get ready to vote guys cuz ita bea comin. Any suggestions for deadline? I was thinking exactly two weeks.
That may be a better way of doing it skals, ill think about it. And ninetine I was just wating to see if any more proposals would come. If they don't within a few hours ill make the list. 
Think about it. I take everyone's ideas "3 from each person" and put them into a list. Say theres 20 themes in the list. Each person puts a 20 by their fav.theme, 19 by their second fav., 18 by their 3rd fav. all the way down to a 1 by their least fav theme. To do so they just copy the list of themes that I post when there all in and repaste it into the forum so that they can number them. Everyone will do this. Than the theme with moth numbers is the theme for the comp.
Yea Darkie, Im going to list all of the submitted ideas from the beginning of the forum to the end and number them. Say if there end up being 30 ideas, everyone will copy the list and paiste it again in the forum. Than they will put a "30" to the right side of their favorite option, a "29" next to their next favorite and so on. After everyone has done this I will take everyone's submitted lists and tally up the conclusion. The idea with the most tallies is the theme.
Ex. of what it will look like. If there were 5 theme ideas submitted.
1)map a skull.
2)map a movie.
3)make a xen planet.
4)map a turd.
5)map a banana.
Than we will each copy and paste the list and add numbers determining our favorite theme.
1)map a skull. (5)
2)map a movie. (3)
3)make a xen planet. (4)
4)map a turd. (1)
5)map a banana. (2)
I chose the skull as my favorite option and the turd as my worst option...

nicee your third idea iss kewwwwwlll!!! Wow there has already been seven people submitting ideas. Thats 21 themes to vote from so far. Just a few more good ideas to go through and we should vote on em. I have tons of ideas, ill just submit em next comp.. I really like the "map your own face idea too", I woulda never thought of it. It would really take some nice brushwork and vertex manipulation. And it would be cool to include a pic of your face along side it-ill prolly be voting a high number for this idea... I have so many good ideas, just think of stuff that would be creative and you wouldn't normally map that would make you better and be fun..
haha lol kirban freeman. Well if making a ship is the most liked idea than ittl get the most votes (and by ship, I was thinking of the one tet was workin on).. Well once enough ideas are submitted we can count and list them and vote on them with the number system.
Alright now those are some good ideas skals! And the evil genius lair would be awesome.
You can only propose three of your best ideas so choose them. And think about it, mapping your entire school or work place wouldn't be that easy or that much of a "mini" compo. Theres a tutorial on this website "I think" on how to make the coke machine... The demolished house idea would be really cool to do. Just come up with only "three" of your best ideas.. Rimrook your ideas are really abstract and broad but the water one has been done before. It would be cool to make a map with a distant feeling to go with the theme "lost" and a weird alien planet that wasn't like xen would be unique. Think along the lines of smaller stuff like an alien "not xen like" base or a bridge or a crane. I guess you could make a small area of the planet. Well anyways you can change your theme ideas before we vote on them.. Ill make a list of everyone's three before we do.
Try to keep the ideas kinda small, it is a "mini" compo.. And your ideas won't be included in the voting unless you plan on entering.
Yea i guess you could make it huge enough to fit inside it like rats or something...Why don't you come up with three good ideas?
Cool ideas so far.. Hopefully you guys are actually planning on entering once the theme is chosen..
Goldsource.. Source just takes too long to compile in my opinion and some people's comp. cant handle it. Well I guess if you wanted you could start a thread for a source one.
1) Map a tree fort.
2) Map a small library.
3) Map a house from any cartoon or videogame.

Since competitions rarely come around at twhl I think we should start hosting mini competitions regularly.. Ive tryed proposing one before but got no outcome because I was said to not have authority to choose the theme so I came up with a way we can all decide it. Each person that is interested proposes three of their best ideas for the competition. Say seven people propose their three ideas. Thats 21 ideas. Than each person gives each idea a number from 1-21. based on how much they like the idea compared to the others. The highest number given "in this case 21" is the idea you like the best and the ammount of entrees. After this the numbers will be tallied up and the idea with the most numbers becomes the theme to our mini compo. Than we set a desired date as a deadline and begin. The winner will than be determined the same way the theme was determined or by simply voting on a entree(and you can't vote on your own.) With this there could be a first place winner, second,third,fourth all the way to the end. Any one interested? I think it would be a fun way to allow everyone to put their part in choosing the best theme. 
Like I said, we'd all propose our best ideas and vote on it. Than set a deadline and begin. Ex, Id say maybe (design a treehouse, create a small bounce map, create a bridge, design a xen cave...) as my ideas. Than everyone else would. After everyone proposed their best ideas, we'd all vote on our favorites giving our best option the highest number to the lowest number for the worst option. Highest number would be the ammount of proposed options. Than the idea with most numbers would be the theme.. Check out my thread in "site comments and suggestions"-new mini comp. about it.
Mines been sitting pretty much finished, all I really need is some doors and a few final touch ups and lighting. I have a trig test and a bunch of other college tests coming up and a busy work schedule so its kinda hard to find time to focus but in all honesty whenever I get some time I just surf on condition zero so sorry for the delay on my map... Ill get it done soon. Btw awesome looking ship tetsuo.. Ive made a ship with goldsource that rocked up and down with the waves but never really finished it. I think "build a ship" would be a really awesome competition theme... Since twhl's competitions take such a long time to come around, we should brainstorm and come up with our own competitions in the forums, I guess kinda like captain terror did here. After this "rooms" competition thing we should all come up with a really good idea for a mini compo. and set a deadline and judge them ourselves. We could each write out a few of our best ideas and all vote on em. I like deadlines because with out them I just blow stuff off. Anyone wanna have a mini compo after this room project is done?
Yea mines coming along pretty good I just need to find some more time for one more good sitting and ill have it done. Its light data is really full so it takes an extremely long time to compile which is pretty annoying but the map itself looks really awesome. Its really kinda two rooms but thats only to make an effect that its a lot bigger than it really is and its connected by a big entry so hopefeully it meets the specs.
Thats what I got outa it.
Don't worry I only got drunk at my house and watched the game. 
Sorry to hear that srry, yea its not the best idea to get on the road even after only a few bears. Red lights seam to appear green all the time..

Thanks guys! Yea I still have another year till I can buy alcohol legally but My brothers 22 and my parents have so much alcohol sitting around. Also Ive been to the bar a few times and just had someone else buy for me... Either way mapping is way funner than being drunk! "cauf cauf bullsh**" lol actually it is.
Today is my 20th birthday! Its pretty weird not being a teenager any more I feel so old. Ive been a member of this site for a little over four and a half years now and its helped me so much to become a better mapper. I remember back than when the first thing I learned from this site was how to make a func_rotating and I made a ceiling fan. Than I made a button that triggered it and began exploring with everything. The feelings I would get from creating things with "worldcraft" were so awesome. Exploring with blue and purple lighting to make bizzare ambience and mood. Noclipping through halflife1 for the first time. Drawing and planning maps to pass time in class in highschool. I don't think ill ever stop mapping...
I almost finished my room in two days but Im really busy now so ill have to work on it again in a few days...
Holly crap dude crazy story. Glad to hear your alright!
Lookin nice daubstah.. I may post a screenie once I get a little bit more in.
Everyone should give you a list of there light.rad file's lights they used and you can make one big lights.rad file when you compile them..?
I think ill make a room now... Time to start drawing!
There we go..
There we go..
That sounds like an ok idea, how much is it a month to keep the server running?

My parents rented Super Metroid for me when I was very young. When I was older I bought it and played it with utter amazement. The soundtracks had been stuck in my head and the awesome memories I had of the game were brought back to life.

I never had any lag problems in the server.
Mine is to never come to this website again. Crap.
