I feel once I establish what is humour and what is actually funny then I will be OK.

One persons humour, may be another persons shame. Some love to be shameful and hide behind humour in doing so.

Funny is universal. Everyone understands it. It may not be funny to them, but when there is no other underlying motive it is still considered funny.

I see so far, to little funny and a lot of shameful humour.

I have read some truly professional tutorials the past few days. Its a shame the people and their humour cannot use the same level of people skills with their wit.

I have noticed though, the tutorials are not truly basic. Not my level of basic but perhaps I am reading them in the wrong sequence. Is there an order in which to do so?

Theres no defined order... if the tutorials are a bit ahead of you, it just means youll learn more by following them.

Try not to worry about some of the members here... what often seems like pointless flaming, usually isnt. Also bear in mind who its directed at, there have been lots of nasty posts in that mod recruiting topic, but if youre starting a mod and cant take criticisms you shouldnt be starting a mod yet. New members can easily come under attack by overreacting to the older members opinions and suggestions, and can often retaliate (see any mod recruitment thread). As long as you can take honest criticism, youll do fine here.

? quoting Underdog
There is either a heck of a lot of hostility, or a heck of a lot of insiders joking at this site. I hope I can sort out which it is before I step on someones toes and be on the receiving end of some.

Any members in particular that I should avoid, or better, buddy up with?

I want to learn mapping not spend all my limited on line time staving off blows.



Just as in real life, some people here have an aggressive way of telling their opinion. It's their personality (which can add charisma) and they arent worse for that, you just have to know how to take their comments. Add that with the fact that written language can't give subtle underlying nuances etc and you can easily feel hostility. Just as irl, the trick is to relativise.

This is a good example of a discussion where you can have the feeling "let it go" and pass on

Most ppl here are really nice, but they may seem overpowered by the few big guns.

It looks hostile because of the black background, and the very agressive avatar of the founder (Mr. Leperous): I've always recommended using some pink, or maybe some animated cartoon style banners...

But even if it looks vicious, this place is actually very warm and welcoming ; Enjoy your stay, but if I were you, I'd avoid upsetting a member who calls himself "Orpheus": he's like some kind of big guru in here, and all I can say is just... avoid pissing off the guy.

You guys keep talking about this Orpheous guy. Funny thing is, he was the veteran that got tanked so badly by the new member I mentioned earlier. If he is what you say, why did no one bother assisting him? Worse, why did he need assisting?

I don't about how you define humour, but I do like the idea of straight honest feedback. I hope to receive some on any misadventures I take in creating a map. If you guys can be honest, then I suppose I can deal with your absurd sense of humour.

Anyway, we seem to have drifted a fair portion from the topics heading. I suppose the humour discussion has about run its course. Back to free hosting gents?

Weird? because I d not think making fun of someone is humour, or because I do not think baiting someone in the guise of humour is funny?

Well, I can live with weird if you can I suppose. Could be worse, and it may get that way before to long.

what they mean underdog is that you are different to the rest of us and i personnally perfer your way of conversing, its a lot nicer and considerate. compared to the few f**kheads that have joined recently. your little 'weirdness' is a very nice change.

like for example your last post could have turned into a heated argument that spiraled out of control (*cough cough* hence "Desperate Need of a Programmer!" *cough cough*) but it didnt you ended the ingriedents that could have potentially made such a thing with saying 'well, i can live with weird...' and that was a very nice thing to do.

so thanks underdog for not following the downward path the few noob idiots follow.

I agree with you rival.

The reason we stayed out of the Orph thing, is because he asked us to. Also because most of us don't want to deal with it. Anyway, shall we get back on the subject?
