Better almost late than never

Sarge Baldy let us know a few days ago that he will be holding a speedmapping session in #zdoomvets on irc.oftc.net on Sunday the 10th at 11 AM PDT (2 PM EDT, 7 PM GMT).

Sounds awesome, I wish I could make it. :(

[fraggle]

There seems to be some kind of problem. I don't seem to be able to able to join the channel???

[Csonicgo]

It's invite only, making this completely pointless.

[Sharessa]

It is not invite only. Fraggle was banned for trolling there, and you were banned for general dumbassery.

[Csonicgo]

I didn't even say a word in the channel iirc. I just joined and assmaster kicked me.

Edit: oh god I'm a dumbass and I didn't read the date properly

I think if this is going to be run from an IRC channel, it should be done from one dedicated to the purpose, and where half the community isn't already banned. I mean, it just makes sense.

[sargebaldy]

Eh. Less people are banned from #zdoomvets than #zdoom. I don't see why this is a new complaint. And I don't especially see a need for a special speedmapping channel when the present one works just fine and discussion actually does stay more on the topic of speedmapping than they ever did in #zdoom.

The session went pretty well, seeing as the announcement was posted 4 days late.

[Quasar]

I just don't think that speedmapping participation should be limited by independent channel policies, especially if it's going to be regularly promoted by Doomworld :P I would feel the same if it were being held in #zdoom.

[sargebaldy]

I don't think it should either. If someone had PMed me with a request, I'd have been happy to oblige it. I agree that speedmapping sessions should supersede channel policy.
