TMD Posted February 8, 2016 Link to last months session ✽Welcome to a very special weekend after Presidents Day Weekend edition of ASS✽ ✽We will be meeting in the usual spot on Skype (consistent group) at the fairly regular time of ❦ Noon Eastern Time on Saturday, February 20 ❦ and Jimmy will probably do one at midnight again. Or Surreily. or Obsidian. ✽ ✽ Who knows!✽ ✽For those not in the know. Abyssal Speedmapping Sessions are a delightful romp wherein the usual 6 or 8 stooges (and a few random folks who have the available time) crawl out from their shanties and various hovels, steal midis from dark recesses of the worldwide web, and gossip to such a degree of churlish glee that our two hour speedmaps take three hours to make. Yes, we go for two hours, but we allow a concept called A̶l̶f̶o̶n̶z̶o̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ "An Extra Hour of Mapping to Make an Objectively Superior Map." Then a few of us stream the resulting maps over the next few weeks. Then it goes on idgames. Then we repeat about a month later. ✽ ✽Its better than it sounds! See you there :D 🎁🎁🎁 ✽ This also exists 0 Share this post Link to post

wallabra Posted February 8, 2016 I could write a post with all the Unicode characters in the world, but of course not, because it's prohibited. IF it weren't, you would just copypaste the character you like from it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Breezeep Posted February 9, 2016 Abyssal Speedmapping Session 27 - No fun allowed. 0 Share this post Link to post
Super Mighty G Posted February 9, 2016 I've never speed mapped before. I always take my time meticulously adjusting stupid details. But I'm wanting to get more mapping experience and this seems like a good way to do it. 0 Share this post Link to post

NaZa Posted February 9, 2016 I will probably have to drop out aince I cannot start up my PC :( It's a shame too, since I really enjoyed the 26th session. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fuzzball Posted February 9, 2016 Actually I will side with AD for this- not to say BS map names can't be funny...but I think it might be a nice change this time! Maybe a lil' humorous this time around but a bit more serious! 0 Share this post Link to post
Jimmy Posted February 10, 2016 Fwiw I tend not to defer to the BS mapnames list unless I'm seriously, seriously straining for a name. Usually I can think of one that adequately summates my own opinion of the map (i.e. "Insomnia Cure") and that's fine. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
TMD Posted February 13, 2016 Did I mention the session is in a week? Because the session is in a week. 0 Share this post Link to post

NaZa Posted February 19, 2016 Yes so my PC is working and I will be able to attend it! Kudos! 0 Share this post Link to post
baja blast rd. Posted February 19, 2016 Will try to participate, if not at noon then at midnight. 0 Share this post Link to post
AnonimVio Posted February 19, 2016 Can I join in? I never participated in a speedmapping session before, and I only made 2 speedmaps so far. 0 Share this post Link to post
joe-ilya Posted February 19, 2016 Anyone can join. Here are the general rules of ASS: -When the speedmapping starts, you get 15 minutes to set up your settings, download the texture pack (if there is), etc, -After setting up you have 3 hours to submit the map you've been making. -Must use at least one of the themes announced. Not too many rules. EDIT: How do I get into the ASS IRC channel? 0 Share this post Link to post
Breezeep Posted February 19, 2016 Sure thing, but if you like, I'd recommend getting onto the #abyssal IRC channel to keep track of the session's time limit. 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted February 19, 2016 Also it's 2 hours. There is an extra hour, but it is considered shaming and dishonorable upon your family to use it. 0 Share this post Link to post
TMD Posted February 20, 2016 About 45 minutes to go. Add me on Skype (mionicdonut) if you want in the group! 0 Share this post Link to post
