It's all in the gameplay.
It's also the real reason Epic folded on the UT series.
When the average guy beats out the industry pros, it's time to pack it in. :rolleyes:
This just pisses me off. It's not appropriate even if you're supposedly "just joking around", particularly after Epic just gave you $2500 freaking dollars and a dang nice wide screen monitor for something you made with tools they practically gave you for free.

I didn't think Foundry was a winning map, but I wasn't a judge. I think it's a testament to the fact that new/inexperienced/patient mappers can actually steal the prize, but it makes it pretty bitter when those people then turn around and rip Epic for "folding on the UT series", supposedly because they themselves couldn't make maps with good gameplay.

ARRGGG... My rage could continue but.... ugh....

Then it doesn't take much to piss you off.
I guess you and I don't share the same sense of humor.

Pfft.
Call me what you want, I've proven myself with this win.
And I wasn't ripping Epic, you've misinterpreted the meaning.
It really did go over your head didn't it.

ARRGGG... My rage could continue but.... ugh....

Lighten up.

You must have a pretty sad sense of humor if you think ripping on the company that just enabled you to win money and prizes is funny.

Maybe, but you haven't done yourself any favors in this thread. It's my opinion that your map wasn't as good as other entries, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve to have won.

And it's not about going over my head. I could say something totally racist and then two posts later say "Oh, by the way, if you didn't get it before I was totally joking in my last post! hahahaha!" and then tell anyone that got upset about what I said to lighten up and get a better sense of humor. That doesn't change the stupidity of what I had said before.

I guess in this case your reputation precedes you, though.

I support Briz in this, I mean you really should be glad you have got the money and all that, I wish I could do that, I have too slow machine for making UT3 maps I think and still, I can try when I learn all the stuff, but by then the contest will be closed probably and I simply don't have that much time etc. Not that I would do the maps for money though and that is what kinda puts me off from this contest, I mean sometimes I really feel it is unfair, some of the entries in this contest which won.

It is really just a way to get some more $$$$$$$$ for some and then they are ballin' with it.
This contest is about ballin' anyway so.

Canada... eh
Meh, the contest has created a ton of new content with i am eagerly playing (Angels Fall First: Planetstorm, Crucible Weapons/ characters, Skaarj, The Haunted). Honestly, just this content alone makes the content worth it.

Oh and btw, on Brizz's comment on Foundry being a winning map, I'd say I'm in the ballpark too on that one, doesn't seem that great of a map, tbh i lol'd when i saw it had been put into the contest (i even beta'd the sucker, hated its gameplay). Meh, as brizz pointed out, we arent the judges :)S), enjoy your new monitor & $2500 and stop complaining if you are.

It's called sarcasm, genius.
Hell I even used the rollseyes smilely so that anyone with any form of intelligence whatsoever would immediately pick up on the sarcasm and not misinterpret or use it out of context which you obviously have.
If you really thought what I wrote was serious, then your problem isn't with me, your problem is your own inability to comprehend what you're reading.

I knew that my winning would leave a bad taste in certain peoples mouths regardless of their opinion of my map. My comment was targeted towards them. It was not a crack at Epic, who I've always praised for holding the MSUC's.

So now that you've forced me to spell it out for you (which I really shouldn't have had to do) you can put your dunce cap on and go sulk in the corner.
That goes double for those agreeing with your obvious fail.

P.S. ^ The preceding paragraph was NOT Sarcasm^

My problem IS with you because nothing in your post indicates that it was joking at all.

SUBTLE HINT: ROLLEYES SMILEY DOES NOT INFER SARCASM OR JOKING

Your interpretation of the above just shows one of two things.

1) That your vain attempts to pass off a tasteless post as a joke, having been called out, require you to keep posting crap that makes no sense making you look like an idiot further.

or

2) Your limited understanding of the English language and forms of expression have required you to explain a tasteless joke that didn't look like a joke at all.

In both cases what you did was tasteless. I would love for you to find a single reputable person on this forum that will stand behind you on this. No matter what you were going for, you look like an idiot for making that first post.
I knew that my winning would leave a bad taste in certain peoples mouths regardless of their opinion of my map. My comment was targeted towards them. It was not a crack at Epic, who I've always praised for holding the MSUC's.
Maybe so, but your smug and arrogant attitude about it isn't helping you look like the mature, intelligent one. Your posting history on BuF pretty much entitles anyone to their opinion of you. Still, my personal opinion of you based on what you've done just in this thread is not very high.
So now that you've forced me to spell it out for you (which I really shouldn't have had to do) you can put your dunce cap on and go sulk in the corner.

You can try out your ad homonym attacks all day, if you'd like, but no amount of backpedaling is going to make your position more rosy. You said something moronic, and your attitude about it since then says more about your character than anything else you've done on BuF.

So, let me spell it out for you.

Nothing in your post indicates that it was joking at all.

Yes it does. sarcasm anyway.

Your interpretation of the above just shows one of two things.

1) That your vain attempts to pass off a tasteless post as a joke, having been called out, require you to keep posting crap that makes no sense making you look like an idiot further.

or

2) Your limited understanding of the English language and forms of expression have required you to explain a tasteless joke that didn't look like a joke at all.

In both cases what you did was tasteless.

So even after explaining to you what I meant, you're still projecting your own imaginary meaning onto my words. Congratulations, you are either

1) Insane
or
2) Borderline retarded

In either case, since you claim to know me better than I know myself, perhaps you'll find new meaning as I tell you to go **** yourself.

I would love for you to find a single reputable person on this forum that will stand behind you on this.

I can't even find an irreputable person to stand behind me on this forum, regardless of whether I'm right or wrong. Doesn't matter. Hence the sarcasm of my comment.

No matter what you were going for, you look like an idiot for making that first post.

Considering that I was actually poking fun at myself for single-handedly killing the UT series, yeah I guess so. It's not as idiotic as getting all worked up over it though.

Maybe so, but your smug and arrogant attitude about it isn't helping you look like the mature, intelligent one. Your posting history on BuF pretty much entitles anyone to their opinion of you. Still, my personal opinion of you based on what you've done just in this thread is not very high.

Oh i get it, it's PERSONAL. You don't like me, my attitude, my work, or anything I've previously posted. You just saw an opportunity to attack. Well why didn't you just say that instead of acting like a moron pretending to be offended by something that's probably the least offensive thing I've ever posted? Stop being such a pusse hiding behind strawmen arguments.


You can try out your ad homonym attacks all day, if you'd like, but no amount of backpedaling is going to make your position more rosy. You said something moronic, and your attitude about it since then says more about your character than anything else you've done on BuF.

I've never backpedaled, I've gone forward and far too long on this with you I might add.

So, let me spell it out for you.

Nothing in your post indicates that it was joking at all.

when I read your posts, it sounds like your saying UT3 failed, and your saying this is due Epics inability. In your post you imply that you could do better. What upsets Sir_brizz and others is that your putting down Epics ability right after they give you a first place.

I don't care about the $$ myself, All I wanted was 1st place, and this phase was the phase that I actually made an effort, Hell I am disappointed I didn't achieve that dream, but I'm not going to undermine Epics ability, if I might disagree.

I suggest you adjust your post before others have to read it. Especially members of Epic, its very offensive and there's no point arguing about it.

As for me, I lost my chance and there are no more chances, I will start a "making of.." thread soon but my next map will be a while as its custom content, So I wish those still in the contest the best of luck and I hope that people will still be here to enjoy my maps as I make them :)
