Ok, I'll try and keep the explanation short. :)

Basically, Daedalus released ONS-EarlyDawn, which was originally the ONS tutorial map, right? It was Dawn, but with a different layout - a previous version of the map. Only it wasn't playable, because it was missing all the actors such as pathnodes, energy cores, weapons, vehicles, what have you.
So Daedalus puts all these in and makes the map playable, uploads it, it mirrors, and we release it. Hal sees the map and posts it on the BU frontpage, thinking that people would get a kick out of seeing a previous version of Dawn playable.

However, there was one factor that would lead to an unneccessary outroar - Hourences was the author. But he had signed his work over to Epic Games, and Epic Games was in the Author name for the original tutorial map, and Daedalus left the correct author name in the map.

However, god forbid should Hourences pass up the opportunity to bitch at someone. He posted exclaiming his false disbelief that someone was "stealing" his map, and compared "stealing" his map to "killing his only child."
Of course, his legion of fanboys came a-running, and soon the thread was full of angry replies. Myself and Daed explained the facts and said that Hourences had no real right to have a go at Daed. So what does Hourences do? He tries to use english terms which he hoped would make himself look more accomplished and important, such as "pathetic arrogance".
Unfortunately, he didn't use half of them in the right context, and he over-exaggerated things way beyond what they needed to be.

That's when Daedalus left. He was absolutely sick of it, and rightly so. I mean, when a developer who has made maps for a game you love starts needlessly flaming you, it worries you as to what this community has become.
You think Myscha went around every "Deck 16 remake" thread bitching at people? I don't think so, because he wasn't so full of himself that he had an ego the size of Texas.

Ever since then, I've found it hard to like any of Hourence's future maps, including Dinora and Redkin. Even though they're good maps, I can't really bring myself to imagine how much arrogance, pitifulness and self-centered ignorance went into the creation of them.
In fact, if you open a map like DM-Rankin, you will find that the very portal textures themselves adore the text HOURENCES. You know, just in case you forgot who made the map.

When the furor burst into the #beyondunreal irc chat room, it got to the point where even the admins themselves were trying to convince Hourences that he was acting like a complete tit. But like the self-centered idiot he is, he ignored them.

Daedalus eventually rejoined Fraghouse and began modding again, for which I'm grateful. I am, however, eternally ungrateful to Hourences for many reasons, the main sticking points being:

1) He made Daedalus leave.
2) His actions made me feel sick towards the whole community in general.
3) He needlessly made us look like bad people just to get his ego stroked. As if it needed boosting. It's already big enough to suffocate half of the entire planet, I would imagine.

And so the saga of ARTISTE begins. "STOP STEALING MY MESHES", "YOU KILLED MY CHILD" and so on and so forth. There's even an extremeartiste.com website that we weren't involved in the creation of.

I think that now we can look back on it and laugh. Laugh at what an idiot Hourences made of himself. I wouldn't call it bitterness, but I don't think there's any chance we would ever have an ounce of respect for the "big mapping man himself" ever again. He's arrogant, selfish, self-centered, unpleasant, rude, has an ego so big he could use it to beat people to death with and possesses the most unpleasant attitude you have ever seen.

So that's the story. Hope it wasn't too long. ;)

actually. Any part of the retail game can be modified by anyone as long as they dont profit from it.

That was a miserable episode. I fear that BU wont post any news on a map I release now since that dick pulled all that bullshit back then.

Okay, you know that being included in the inner circle of the Extreme Artiste gang is no that easily. It takes multiple assignments in which you have to prove yourself worthy and professional enough for our awesomeness.
After that, a number of kinky ceremonies where we sacrifice sheep, your blood, and torture one another with furry porn and other nasty images from /ed/

Now read this carefully, for it contains the origin of the Artistes
http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=145241&page=1&pp=30

And to better understand the Artistic point of view, here is our interpetation of that thread
www.baden.myadsl.nl/Log1.txt

Pop quiz tomorrow. Make sure you know your stuff boy.
