just a thought to chew on..

since V3, we went out of our way to rate each other's maps.. now that they are old, and V4 is out, we have slipped in our obligations a bit..

we need to get off our duff's and rate a few of our respected mappers..

their maps, and accomplishments may be older ones, but does that mean with V4 that we have to leave them un-noticed..

new people will arrive, and at least partially base their opinions of us on out maps, and user ratings..

take a moment.. rate someone.. they deserve it..

yes, i have been guilty as well.. but will endeavor to rectify this today..

expect a few PM notices to go out saying so :biggrin:

remember, once upon a time.. these maps deserved our notice.. lets show the newer member which :smile:

did i just post this for naught?

i cannot seem to rate anyones maps today... did i miss something important while i was away on this run?

cananyone else rate?

nevermind.. in my stupidity, i overlooked the fact that you must click on the map link to get to the rating section :sad:

sorry, me bad..

but my 1st point is still valid... get to rating guys :smile:

I think this topic should change its name to the "Orpheus topic" :biggrin:

I totally agree with ya.

i checked all your maps this morning.. and none of them were scored then.. if you have a one on a map.. its recent.. and not mine BTW :razz:

the map system posts the name.. you should know whom it was :wink:

/me still waits for his first ever user review on cumbersome... sigh :sad:

is this an offbeat way of asking for a critique dietz?

lep hasn't set me up for anything official yet, so it would have to be one of my normal ones..

if you wanted one.. all you have to do is ask... uhhh you know my trepidations on doing them without a request.. :/

Rate my maps and I'll rate yours :wink:

Me goes to rate Orph

Expect it to be a while before I rate all your maps, your profile lacks pictures :razz:

Indeed, I too am awaiting the map review section.  With a spell checker too :biggrin:  If you remember Orph.

And the rating system - as far as I know - doesnt tell you who rated you but only how many people rated you a 1 or a 2 and so on.

The person rating doesn't say who, the map rating does. In order to rate a map you sort of have to make a comment on it, and it says who made it :razz:

we must be on two different pages here..

1) the personal rating system is incognito, meaning you can rate someone with no way of them knowing whom did what.. this IMO is a bit lopsided, as it promotes cowardly ratings..

2) the map rating system is a bit better... you post a word or two and it logs you as the respondent.. this is far and away better IMO...

i would keep my rating open, no matter the score i receive, cause in the secret version, its a bit less accurate..

i wouldn't alter my scores, no matter whom knew...

If your a level 4 or greater admin like Gwil or Lep you can see the little rating chart you see in your control panel on other peoples' profiles :razz:

They know whos being harsh or kind :biggrin:

I like my rating, but If someone rated me a zero I could case less...

I dont like snarkpit because of my # of post counts, my snark marks, or my rating..I like it because I can hang out and talk with highly respected mappers, like Reno, MR.Notben, Campign junkie, cough vash, and many many more...Like snarkpit for what it offers you..

What about me D:~~~~

and many many more...

Wait one cotton picking minute, that ain't no quote

I'm respected?! I can understand ReNo (not MrBen though! Blechh! :razz:  )... But me?

rates Vash a 5, along with giving him 200 SnarkMarks :biggrin:

Orpheus, Leperous, VASH!, Reno, Campign Junkie, Myrk, gollum, AND MANY F00KING MORE!

I like this place because it's something to do, and it's fun whippin' newbs :biggrin:

j00 msispellt n00b j00 nooob1!!1

stupid middle class.

I don't get to whip n00bs, nor do I get noticed like them. I'm stuck in the twilight zone of mapping.

I could go out of character and try treating you like a n00b for a little while if you really want me to. It'll probably just consist of me mocking you with my uber pseudo-leet or comments about your mother and/or dog, but hey, I'm willing to try.

It's an interesting life we lead at the top of the chain.

I must have been a typo and as for cj, well he wouldn't know an antenna if i crammed one up his.... well. Yeah!

:biggrin: :biggrin:

lol

Back on topic.... I think we should all try and rate each others maps when we get the chance, I often get a nice buzz from people rating me maps :biggrin:

me gets to work rating more maps

I really wanted people to rate me, but since my maps are in TS and are hence exclusive it's not really possible. Feedback from the community and competition from other mappers has really made me want to improve my existing ones though.

I feel I have the gamplay aspect fairly nailed, all my maps are damn fun and a great many people like them, however mappers mostly don't. I have a fair idea why as well, mostly they are fairly sparse and can be somewhat bland, o I'm trying to improve the more 'arty' side of my mapping Admiteddly R_Speeds are high ish in some of them, but I'm fairly confident I can fix a lot of this in the next version.

Acutally I'd be interested to hear what anyone here though of my TS maps, since criticism can only help me feel free to PM away.

Nah MR.NotBen, your good man, your good..!

I enjoy making the VOX speak "unauthorized antenna located in your ass" when I'm an admin on a server :biggrin:

Nah "Adios Gordon you ass" is the best :biggrin:

:biggrin: :biggrin:

Oh, I'm sure I would notice an antenna if it was one of your disgusting, poorly scaled monstrosities YOU call an antenna. And you put an env_glow on top when it was like 1500 units away! Will that make ANY sort of difference?! No, of course not! It practically won't even render or anything! And another thing; too many little red lights! Argh!

I think I'll have to get some Snabbits to tear you a new one.

/me falls over

As a person, I'd tend to believe I'm the most disliked fellow here, and I probably deserve it. However, I think a little bit of my philosophy has crept onto the mainstream ideals of the forum, because I made my first real posts due to the fact that our criticism was limited to 'Looks gr8 m8'.

So goodnight, and

Bah, you aren't as hated as you'd like cassius, over time most of us have grown to like your presence here, and wouldn't swap it for anything :smile:

Vash rated my map because he's a Cool Dude.  Now make a new version of Tau_Map, where when you reach a room it enables a teleporter so you DON'T HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK THROUGH THE DAMN MAP WHEN YOU DIE OMGWTFARGH!

he also gives himself a lot of credit for the way we are towards mapping feedback, especially considering most of us vocal people are the same people we were before we came to SP..

certainly most of us reflect his voice, but at least in my case, it was a voice that came with me to SP, not one i cultivate since arriving..

i can say this whole heartedly, i would much rather have cass on my side, than on the opposing one..
