[Rikka]

On the topics of the various generations of tf2mappers, the old and new guards, and my fanfic chronicling our adventures......

Rikka: little. i'm glad you realize we aren't your friends. because we aren't
Grim Tuesday: slam
Littleedge: Oh I know.
Littleedge: You're all just acquaintances.
Littleedge: You'd wonder where I was years from now if I disappeared.
Littleedge: One of you would do a quick search, find me, say hi, and then only talk to me once or twice a year.
Littleedge: You'd let the others know.
Littleedge: At least, the last couple that are still around
Littleedge: Because in reality, everyone will have left.
Grim Tuesday: I wonder when all of us will have moved on from TF2M
Littleedge: Shut up.
Littleedge: I hope never
Grim Tuesday: ^
Littleedge: I hate making new acquaintances
Littleedge: I had to do it when Old Unreal died a second time.
Detective Moosε: ugh I'm bored
Rikka: litlte, the guy who tells the story of our splitting up and then gets mad when someone wonders when it will happen
TheHarriboKid is now playing Team Fortress 2. Click here to join.
Littleedge: I ended up going to CCH. They disbanded, I went with one half. I was banned, went to the other half. They died out, I found nNn. I hated a couple individuals (*cough* Nova *cough*) and quit the clan around the time I found you cool kids.
Grim Tuesday: hmm tf2m is my second major aquaintence center
Grim Tuesday: after Age of Mythology Heaven
Grim Tuesday: now ait
Grim Tuesday: *no wait
Grim Tuesday: my third
Grim Tuesday: afet AOMH
Littleedge: Age of Mythology. Heh. I loved that game.
Rikka: something to consider. the old guard is largely dead here. there's a whole new major member group
Grim Tuesday: and GPGnet forums
Grim Tuesday: yeah
Grim Tuesday: we are the second generation
Rikka: shmitz is gone. mangy is gone. ym mostly gone
Rikka: grim, me and you aren't part of it
Littleedge: Yeah Rikka. I always complain about the lack of YM, Shmitz, Mangy, and cool kids
Grim Tuesday: nine and drp are pretty much the only ones left
item_erich: mangy is a good thing
item_erich: i'm part of the newest generation
item_erich: i'm a youngin
Grim Tuesday: there is a generation above me
Grim Tuesday: as in newer than me
Grim Tuesday: like mr kiwi and dragonstorm
Littleedge: Who the hell is Dragonstorm
Grim Tuesday: some guy who is always messaging me
Rikka: there's still a generation between yo uand the mangy/ym/shmitz/booj gen, grim
Detective Moosε: I don't get the whole generations thing
Grim Tuesday: totally rikka
Grim Tuesday: so there are 4 gens then?
Littleedge: Rikka, am I a part of that generation? I'd like to think so. But I'm unsure.
Grim Tuesday: and I am 3?
Littleedge: I think the "generations" can be explained by contest pretty well.
Rikka: i'm talking like, the very earliest tf2maps days
Grim Tuesday: I came in on the PLR and A/D CTF contest
Littleedge: As soon as you come in during a new contest, you are placed in a new generation
Grim Tuesday: void is second gen
Rikka: i'm talking back when dox was an admin. that's the first gen
TheHarriboKid is now playing Team Fortress 2. Click here to join.
Littleedge: PL would be second gen.
item_erich: wut am I part of
Littleedge: CP contest at the beginning is first.
Grim Tuesday: what generation is A/D CTF contest?
Detective Moosε: third?
Littleedge: Yeah.
Detective Moosε: so I'm third
item_erich: I joined around the time of the contest before artpass
Grim Tuesday: so CTF and artpass is fourth?
item_erich: :c
Rikka: grim, you didn't get prominent until the ctf contest
Littleedge: And then CTF is fourth. Artpass is fifth.
item_erich: yeah i'm 4th then
Grim Tuesday: true, but I faved the server during the a/d ctf contest
Grim Tuesday: played all the maps
Grim Tuesday: voted on them
Littleedge: I'd consider myself either 2 or 3. I lurked more than was really here during 2nd, but
The Best Pyro on Earth is now playing Team Fortress 2. Click here to join.
Littleedge: Like ti matters!
Littleedge: bbs
Rikka: so did i, little
Rikka: what you have to realize there wasn't a major power shift until after the ctf contest. so its wonky
Grim Tuesday: did YM enter a/d CTF?
Grim Tuesday: oh wait
Grim Tuesday: it was an icy mouse
Detective Moosε: hahahahaha
Grim Tuesday: if you remember that, then you are 3rd gen
constructivoid: man
Rikka: at least third gen
Grim Tuesday: yeah
Grim Tuesday: 3rd or later
constructivoid: old episodes of the venture bros on adult swim tonight
constructivoid: the first morpheus episode is up now
Grim Tuesday: cool story bro
Rikka: void's older. cause one time he was like "rikka, ever since you've joined chat you've casued nothing but trouble". and so i became the dick i am today
Grim Tuesday: void is first or second gen
Rikka: void's cool though. one of the main characters in my tf2maps fanfic
constructivoid: i didnt join til after the dark knight was in theatres, at least
Grim Tuesday: I better be in that story
constructivoid: because i distinctly remember mapping a shitty map for gmod before going to see the dark knight
constructivoid: a while later i joined tf2m
Rikka: your a minor character. i don't think you appear until the revenge of swaty arc
Grim Tuesday: oh dear
Rikka: oh yeah, void is old. he got on here when he was wee lad
Grim Tuesday: haha if you remember SWATY you are later than 4th gen
Rikka: oh yeah, there's a part during the ctf tournament where you lose, grim
constructivoid: i've been a member since i was 13 i think
Detective Moosε: rik
Detective Moosε: am I in it
constructivoid: christ look how much 3 years here does to you
Rikka: again, a wee lad void
Grim Tuesday: ive been a member since I was 14 I think
Rikka: i think you are?
Detective Moosε: must've been a bit more than 2 years for me
constructivoid: [this must be the very first episode of the venture bros]
constructivoid: [watching old episodes feels weird]
Okrag: What we talking aboot
Rikka: moose, you're chill
constructivoid: [the voices are all slightly off]
Rikka: tf2maps generations, how the old guard is gone and we have a new guard, my tf2maps fanfic
Detective Moosε: okay wait
Detective Moosε: so the role I play in the tf2m fanfic is being chill
Detective Moosε: what
Snacks: fanfic what
Okrag: you are the chillro
Rikka: no, i mean in real life your chill
Rikka: you avoid the drama
Okrag: detective chillro
Rikka: so its hard to work you in
Detective Moosε: :\
Detective Moosε: true
Rikka: i think your on flame's side during his two arcs
Grim Tuesday: oh my I almost forgot about flame
Grim Tuesday: are flame and nine dating in your story?
Detective Moosε: that's a pretty good representation of me
Grim Tuesday: because they were in bed for quite a while
Snacks: I think that would be a 2f2f fanfic
Rikka: yeah
Rikka: i leave the sex to them
Detective Moosε: ricardo should come in occasionally in the fanfic
Detective Moosε: and be the main character
Detective Moosε: he is the real enemy
Grim Tuesday: and aly
Okrag: It should all be told from the PoV of ricardo
Detective Moosε: ^
Snacks: ^
Detective Moosε: oh also
Detective Moosε: include this convo in there
Rikka: that would be a goddamn incomprehensible story
Detective Moosε: so it can be like a meta thing and we all realize we're in the story

[littleedge]

Oh. You're the hell is Dragonstorm. Hiya.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Oh. You're the hell is Dragonstorm. Hiya.

I'm afraid you have a severe case of ricardosis, littleedge. The only cure is reading an English grammar book twice a day for three weeks.

 

[LeSwordfish]

I'm dissapointed no-one got when a bunch of people (Penguin and Ardy?(And me, i suppose)) were badmouthing a map, as it turns out, in front of the guy who made it. Like a bad sitcom or something.

 

[littleedge]

It was intentional. To go with my "Who the hell is Dragonstorm" in the chat.

Techie himself said that he thinks the map is a fluke and will do something simpler this time. No harm in being brutally honest about a map.

Because it happens so much in the day to day that it would be normal. Whether you knew a particular individual was the author or not doesn't mean a thing because either way the result and conversation would be the same. Just take a look at SPUF, most users will happily talk trash to an author about their work.

[NanoSquid]

......
NanoSquid: but im a fan of michio kaku :U
Ruthenium: either I can't recall previous science classes, or my mind is imploding from this information.
NanoSquid: (he's that japanese guy who shows up everywhere, the one with the cool long hair)
NanoSquid: he's basically today's einstein
NanoSquid: Ever hear of hyperspace theory?
Ruthenium: I'm not quite sure.
NanoSquid: Like, a 4th (or technically 5th) dimension?
Ruthenium: Ooh, I've heard of that.
NanoSquid: Now, have you ever read a book called Flatland?
Ruthenium: Isn't the 4th dimension supposed to represent time?
Ruthenium: I have read a book called "Imagining the 10th dimension"
Ruthenium: But not that.
NanoSquid: yeah time is generally considered the 4th
NanoSquid: but a 4th SPACIAL dimension
Ruthenium: Well, I haven't heard of it that way.
Ruthenium: Not sure how that would work
NanoSquid: Anyway, Flatland is a book from the 1880s (when hyperspace was first suggested) that tries to break down the idea of a 4th dimension in a way we can understand
NanoSquid: in Flatland, there are only 2 dimensions
Ruthenium: Thus, the things living there can't have digestive systems.
NanoSquid: Oh yes they do
NanoSquid: its just
NanoSquid: flat
NanoSquid: and if you look from up here
NanoSquid: you can see inside them
NanoSquid: you see, they only see lines, of different brightnesses
Ruthenium: Technically a digestive system in the 2nd dimension would divide the creature in half.
NanoSquid: not so
NanoSquid: it works differently in flatland
NanoSquid: anyway that part isnt elaborated on
Ruthenium: Alright, I'll go with the acceptable break from reality.
Ruthenium: So, as you were saying?
NanoSquid: basically the story is this: they know of only two dimensions, so when something from space passes through (in the case of the story, a sphere) they see it suddenly appear as a circle, get larger, then smaller, then dissapear
NanoSquid: and they're obviously baffled
NanoSquid: their 2d minds couldnt concieve of a 3d world
NanoSquid: until the main character, a square, is given a lesson from the sphere
NanoSquid: and then they throw him in the 2d asylum which is very :C inducing
NanoSquid: but anyway
Ruthenium: ...the square is accused of being a looney?
NanoSquid: yes, the cheif circles and higher parallelograms made a law about such blasphemey
NanoSquid: ANYWAY
NanoSquid: in OUR world, we wouldn't be able to grasp something passing through our space any more than the flatlanders could 3d objects
NanoSquid: we'd probably see blobs flashing rainbow colors or something
NanoSquid: UNTIL
NanoSquid: one of us got pulled INTO the 4th dimension, off of our 3d "plane"
Ruthenium: I can't possibly imagine what a 4D object would look like.
NanoSquid: no one can really
Ruthenium: uh oh
NanoSquid: our brains don't work that way
NanoSquid: but imagine this
NanoSquid: 0d: point
NanoSquid: 1d: line
NanoSquid: 2d: sqare
NanoSquid: 3d: cube
NanoSquid: 4d:
NanoSquid: uh
NanoSquid: whats the name for it
NanoSquid: hold on
NanoSquid: in 4d
NanoSquid: a cube would be
NanoSquid: something vaugely liek this
NanoSquid: http://media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/RipsnortChemist/FoldingHypercube.gif
Ruthenium: wait what
NanoSquid: Say we went into a room of a cubic 4d house
NanoSquid: every door would lead somewhere else, and not necessarily to the room we came from
NanoSquid: i/e
NanoSquid: go through the door
NanoSquid: turn around
NanoSquid: go through door again
NanoSquid: DIFFERENT ROOM
Ruthenium: the ultimate funhouse.
NanoSquid: there's a short story Kaku mentions in his "Hyperspace" book
NanoSquid: where just such a place is accidentally created
NanoSquid: because of dumb luck
NanoSquid: and earthquakes
NanoSquid: and the people who go inside the house cant get out
NanoSquid: when they look out the windows they cant comprehend anything
NanoSquid: its not empty, its just uncomprehensable by the human mind
Ruthenium: Does the house have to be destroyed as a result?
NanoSquid: iirc they break a window and jump through right when the earthquake's aftershock hits
NanoSquid: thus escaping
NanoSquid: but the 4d house dissapears
Ruthenium: Magical earthquakes, the next big thing!
NanoSquid: no, the house was a big cubic modern art design
NanoSquid: like in that animation i showed you, when the earthquake hit it collapsed to a single cube
NanoSquid: ...from the outside, anyway :U
NanoSquid: but there's a cooler story called "The Beast From Nowhere"
NanoSquid: which i still cannot find
NanoSquid: about a hunter in south america and how he caught an animal from the 4th dimension
NanoSquid: (He jams a metal rod through it to impale it, as if a flatlander skewered a sphere. Now it can't get awat from our "plane")
NanoSquid: anyway
NanoSquid: why am i talking about this
NanoSquid: .-.
NanoSquid: i dont remember now
Ruthenium: How the hell did we go from talking about New Vegas to the 4th dimension?!
NanoSquid: fffff
NanoSquid: miracles

 

[WastedMeerkat]

21:44 - MostlyHarmless (EOA): BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

I think that guy was in Cafe a few nights back.

Also, I'm 2nd-3rd gen. Yukon was released, then I wondered where it came from, so I googled it and found TF2M. I lurked then, but I got involved during the Swamp detailing contest. (Matt won with his treehouse)

 

[skinnynerd]

In my own defense, someone (I think littledge) was complaining about the amount of homework and mockingly asked the chat to write his homework for him, and I obliged him by (attempting to) spew gibberish. I apologized right afterword and Nerdboy let me off with just a warning.

 

[lana]

What'd I do again?

 

[Seba]

A lot of people ask to have their homework done. Hell, chat practically writes my English stuff!
