I never sacrificed my schooling when I was at school and mapped. I'm at uni now and I still find time now and then even with my huge amount of work (I get more than people at school get) and my busy social life.

Different people have different priorities and commitments. You may have a "busy social life" and a "huge amount of work", but do you (say) help to organise a major caving expedition? Are you a stressed finalist? Are you a reluctant insomniac?

Is your mother severely disabled? Do you have to take responsibilty for helping her to recover physically, for subtley and painstakingly inculcating in her a positive frame of mind, and for guiding the attitudes and actions of both your parents in the hope that they might recover some kind of life?

I bet you don't.

Those are just some examples from my life; I'm sure WC and TB have their own commitments and priorities, and their own problems to deal with. Everyone's circumstances are different; just because you have the time to map doesn't mean others do.

Mapping is only a very minor part of most people's lives. They shouldn't have to give excuses when they don't have time for it. Besides, some of the "excuses" might be too personal to discuss on a web forum.

when mapping moves out of the "hobby" categorie, you might as well quit. [addsig]

not if this happens in the holiday peroid...nothing like mapping for 6 hours a day for 2 weeks straight...then you get a anti-mapping complex that drives you off mapping untill the next holiday peroid.

its the only way to stay sane

I hope you didnt mean it the same way I think you did

Yea good 'ol Card is still alive and kicking. I managed to finish most of my school work 'cept for reading that damn Frankeistein book. As for cadets, I'm buisy planning a weekend survival excercise and picking up the slack from my 2 comrades. lol

As well, I havent given up on mapping. Never!, lol. Just because I havent been doing anything important on the SPLA map (I added in 23 brushes since the last 2 days) I have been working on my CS competition map.

I also watched a movie. And had a shooting competition which took up my weekend. And then theres the sleep, the suppers, the showers, the girls well, not so often now, too buisy.

/Goes back to work

*cue twilight zone music*

never saw this word before, but i can guess its meaning, the coincidence, i just read it a few minutes ago in a star trek book.. MC coy asking Spock if Vulcan's had a Oedipus myth when Spock mentioned he had dreamed about his mom that night.

If you have all these responsibilities then how do you find time to make your own maps? Why sacrifice the work of others being delayed.

If you can't make a contribution on time then why make it? I mean your contribution will be good, naturally, but I just think this map has dragged out way too long, HL is dead now!

boy i sure hope we didnt kill it, that would just plain suck.

well anyways myrk, i myself really dont care if anyone sees, or plays this map ever, im mearly here for the learnning experience that comes with mapping with others, you get to see different styles(which maybe better then ur current one) and alot of other stuff to learn, like how to use that "light" entity...anyone figure that one out yet? you know we cant go on with this map until we figure that out guys.
(sarcasim included)

MUAHAHA [addsig]

Dunno, I must be some kind of genius Or maybe it has something to do with spreading my work over 4-5 years.

As a matter of fact, I'm not contributing to the SPLA map, for two reasons: I don't want any commitment to mapping at the moment, and I like to map solo. Be that as it may, I wish them the best of luck!

Myrk, HL is dead if you make it. If you're so willing to just lump five years of modding into the 'WELL ITS DEAD NOW LOLOLOLOL' category, that's beautiful - go play whatever the hell game you believe is a substitute, and leave us alone.

Everyone, please remain calm. The thread is now on fire, but if we move to the exits in a peaceful manner, we will easily get out with our lives. It's important at this time that we don't panic.

You there! No pushing! [addsig]

Ok guys, my busy schedule seems to have come to an end, the March break starts w00t. No more school after Friday, which means I have a full week plucked full of 24hr days devoted to mapping. Most of which will be the SPLA map, then alert when I get tired.

I always seem to map at the times I shouldn't, and when I have time to map I don't. Although that's not always true, it's fairly often. I hate getting ideas in school for stuff to add to my map and having to sit for hours waiting. [addsig]
