well i just realized, i joined a game called two worlds in sc, so my new name is shattered worlds

sorry

aye thats gotta suck

I'm a bit late, but I'd like to sign up. I've already started on it and I'm pretty confident I'll finish.
Name: Zennou

You sure?

Ouch.


Anyway if my rpg name could be changed to Necropolis RPG that would be good. Now to finish the menu and start the spawning...

Because if an image is too large it shrinks it and makes it a link to expand, I subverted this by making it two smaller images

I'll put you up.

Done

I'll go with the title "Stream" for now.

o man this sucks, new name now is Scarred Nightmare

and yeah he based his rpg off the xbox360 game two worlds, which makes me not want that name even more. It wasnt a good rpg either. all hack n slash with maybe 4 missions.

I've done jack shit towards my map, as my participation in SC/the related community lately has been... lacking (also, i'm incredibly fucking lazy).

I won't say to take me off the participatory list (still got a half a year to do something), but don't count on me actually making anything (yay dwarf fortress).

Laziness is no excuse for failing to provide a map for this contest. The only valid excuses are as follows (and nevermind that this is Kaias's and Lethal's contest, I'm making the rules here now):

1). it's just a huge ass map
2). insane amount of triggers (like ahli's 40,000+ stuff)
3). SC is an old game and isn't capable of playing what you had planned without lag/exploding
4). alien invasion/parents destroying your computer
5). map bugs up so damn much that you can't fix it without basically rewriting the whole game
6). you're a perfectionist and could not finish because everything wasn't precisely perfect to being the ultimate rpg you can create
7). the internet blows up
8). chuck norris told you not to under penalty of death
9). you're using copyrighted material in your map which may induce criminal penalties and do not wished to be linked through your SEN account to the map
10). you discover the equation to unite gravity and quantum field theory and need to devote your time to that (or a similar breakthrough, ex. cure for cancer)

Let it be known that viruses destroying your computer is not a valid reason, because YOU SHOULD MAKE BACKUPS!

Nah but seriously, I've noticed a lot of mappers pull out the "I'm too lazy" nonsense, for some odd reason, trying to pass off laziness as something worthy and noble, like it's cool, or suave or something, desirable in some way. Take for example, your post. Not only did you inform us that you're lazy, but you emphasized it with "incredibly," as if you believe laziness is a desirable trait, worthy of having its magnitude expressed by a word like "incredibly". If you're too lazy to make your map, just say so and move on with things. If you're not going to complete your map and you know it, have them take you off the list, or change your stance to "I'm going to try and get this done, even if I fail in the end" instead of "keep me on even though I'm not going to actually make anything." I hope you see my point.

I think what most people consider to be "lazy" is really just losing interest, or having something else get in the way.

I actually encountered this. I spend many many hours to recover the text pieces of my battlefield triggers after my vista died (bluescreen after 4s of vista's loading screen -> had no vista CD where I was -> reset comp to factory settings -> formating wrong harddrive without asking me -> copieing vista on it and keep damaged vista alive that worked somehow after it) and I finally did it except some trigger text pieces I didn't find (found 98% -> easy to repair).

Good that I was noble and sent information about that to vista because its boot repairing tool wasn't able to repair it.

If it's something getting in your way (job, school, ect) then it's not being lazy. In this case you won't need an excuse for not finishing your map because you had real reasons not to, so it's not really an excuse, it's just that you couldn't do it. If you know you're going to lose interest, then why bother even starting te map/signing up...

It's hard to tell at what point you'll lose interest, if ever, in advance.

Well, I did something I shouldn't have...

I've been taking a break from mapping so that I could finish up school. I graduate this June.

The thing I did that I shouldn't have, I started reading this forum again...hehe.
I really shouldn't be thinking about the map again at least for another 3 weeks!!!
ah well, I won't actually work on it, so it will be ok.

Six months should be enough time to finish up any map, you think? ha...
Well, just thought I would check in and, let people know I'm still out there.

Alright, back to making my demo reel.

Well, since I am workin my ass off on this RPG and it seems like I have a good chance Go ahead and sign me up with my map. Here's the link to the SEN post for the map. http://www.staredit.net/topic/7394/

thanks,
Kenshin21

Kenshin!!! yeah!

I been paying too much attention to sc and my map and now i have to catch up all the work i missed while terraining or i'll go to summer school... hah.

AND kaias can you change my rpg name to Amaranthine Noxo

EDIT NEVERMIND DONT CHANGE THE NAME!

Anyone who is using protoss shields to represent armor in their RPG's, you might find this interesting.

What are the criteria when people will judge the maps again?

May I recall you all that I started a new project:

Tree of Genesis

Storyline nearly done. Terrain will get started soon so I can actually post a production thread and then I'll start triggering, period.
