No, I have to agree it doesn't make a lot of sense.  I can't imagine what the reason might be....hmmm....*thinks*

Oh yes, I remember now!

People have no taste.

Honestly Doc, what do you expect us to say?  How about, "I used to think your maps were crap, but now I see that screenshot, I've changed my mind"?

I actually think that some of your maps are quite good.  I also think you have never lived up to your potential, because you are sloppy and lazy.

But regardless, this is no place for ego wars.  Take your insecurities somewhere else.

Look, all of you!  See the many faces of DocRock!  See how mutable he is.  Apprehend his inconsistency and learn.

Here I am DocRock;
Yet cannot hold this visible shape

If you wish to fool people, you must learn to control your emotions.  They give the lie to your public persona.  You are too easily manipulated and deserve to be exposed.

Fool

Bless his heart, but I don't sound anything like Orpheus.  He's a good guy but he doesn't know how to manipulate you like I do.

The best part is that I hardly have to say anything to provoke you.  All the insecurities, the bitterness and jealousy are coming out now.

You know that it is a tactical error to reveal this infomation.  But you just can't control yourself.  Honestly Doc, I thought you would be more of a challenge.  Perhaps I overestimated your intellect.

You have a lot of talent.  You are one of the very few truly creative mappers.  I wish I could have helped you to develop your talent, rather than becoming a focus for your insecurity.  I would have loved to see the amazing maps you might have made, if you had cared more about quality and less about your ego.

You know, I think you could have been the best HL mapper ever.  I would be proud to have been even a small part of those maps.

Topics dedicated entirely to attempting to bait and incite flame wars are stupid, immature and certainly not welcome here.

So we'll let this one go, shall we?

Wow, I PM Lep and Gwil comes along...

Well, I think it is quite funny that Doc's arrogant side has suddenly flared up, like some seasonal rash.  I always had given him the benefit of the doubt, when witnessing these arguments between he and Orph.  I felt that Orph was a little foolish (and still do) to keep coming back to the same circular argument - and seemed to be more of the antagonist.  Now I see the pattern of this relationship come full circle, and where the spark originates. 

I can't say that Doc's maps 'suck' as apparently alot of people seem to like them.  I can say, however, that they do not appeal to MY taste visually, or gamewise, and I am willing to bet that there is a certain 'crowd' that feels the same way.  I have NEVER seen any hardcore halflife players boasting about the gameplay of DocRock maps.

Either be happy with the audience you have, or try to broaden your  horizons (skills, style) and gain more fans.  You are a fool, and a narcissist, however to think you can win one side, by boasting about the other.  All this does is cause more of a rift....but maybe that's what you want.  The more extreme people react to you, the easier it is to disregard them as 'irrational'.

Something you guys dont understand about above mentioned?

I think Exentia is one of Doc's best maps.  The dual theme works well and some of the architecture is very good.

The teleporters are particularly spinkee, I recall!
