There were over 20 submissions for that contest, with many great poems to choose from, it was a difficult decision to be made. In the end, D_BETWEE by BoxY won the contest and was featured in that month's Doom Master Wadazine. Now, I am back to judge your new poems. The prize this year is the same, but the contest is harder. These are the updated and expanded rules for this year's competition Poetry must be shown to everybody! Don't send me the poem in your Private messages. Don't Be Shy No longer than 30 lines per poem.

Final update for the day! If you haven't seen already, Bridgeburner interviewed John Romero for his podcast. next Vault Drop in 18 hours.

Live Stream is up as well as new stuff from the vault! Check out some videos in the OP!

your 4th picture repeats. Nice Job! Quake is a great game! I can't wait to hear more about this "Revitalized Edition" they were talking about on another thread. Back on topic... that's awesome that you beat it! What difficulty did you play on? How did you like it? Better or worse than DOOM?

I edited the OP now with spoilers. this will be my last edit tonight. there should be a few more in the next several hours. it won't be too long until the real event starts. I might not be here tomorrow, though. I have a pretty busy day tomorrow. I'll post what I can.

@crispdoom please quote the writers or ping them. they wrote their response well over a week ago and probably don't remember writing in this thread. also, don't multipost. either click the multiquote button next to quote, or just type everything in one post separating it by paragraphs. if you have an idea you want to add after posting, use the edit button to edit your post.

Yeah. Some of the Text files were a bit difficult to understand, so I did my best at writing out what they were. If somebody has any screenshots of the Map Jam Packs, could you post them? I'll add them to the OP and credit you for them. Thank you! Also, @D4NUK1 I hope you're okay with it, but I used your screenshot for the CULTIC Demo in my edited OP. you're credited, of course.

@Redneckerz thank you for the help! There is so much coming out! I don't know if I'll be able to keep up! Edit: Oh My God! Some of these games might have been announced too early! Lol

I must have really gotten across to Sponge

I took a break from Doomworld for a bit and just got back from vacation like 10 minutes ago. I'll update the post in a bit. :)

Hello, people of Doomworld! Chip here! I have been on the Doomworld Forums for over a year now, and in that time, I have learned the dos and don’ts of using Doomworld. Doomworld is not your average forum. Here, you will get to know members on a deeper scale than on other forums you may visit. But to get to that point in the community, there is a list of 4 simple rules you must follow. This shouldn’t just include Doomworld, but every forum you visit. These rules are: Treat others and yourself respectfully. These are regular human beings like you who share a similar interest. There is no need to get into an argument with them if there is no need to. Behave online the same way you would behave in real life. On Doomworld, there is not a policy against cursing if necessary, but there is no need for your whole post to just be a bunch of crude words jam-packed into one sentence. Before you post something, ask yourself if you would want to send this message or something similar to your grandparents. Respect people’s time to respond. People aren’t on Doomworld all day, so there is no need to get worked up over the amount of time it takes somebody to respond. Always share your answer to a question if you know it! This is important! Many people post their questions on Doomworld. A great place to ask questions is in the Doom Editing questions Subforum if you need an answer to how-to’s when making a map. Now, let’s get into Specific Doomworld rules and examples. If you do not follow these rules, this can lead to warnings or even Temporary bans from Mods. Topic Bumping - if you see a thread that is over 3 months old since the last reply, it will have a little orange bar underneath it. This means that in order to bump this thread, you should have a reason to do so. For Example: If you see a thread about a certain WAD, and there isn’t any post for 3 months, your reply should not be This could lead to a warning from a Mod. A good reason to respond might be for example, That is a very good response since it states an issue and asks for a fix. This is a good reason to bump a thread, and you will not be warned for it. On the other hand, there are topics that haven’t seen responses in 2 years. These threads have red bars on them, and in this case, there is very little reason why you should reply. Depending on the Wad (if this is what you are replying to), and if the creator is still on the forums, it might warrant a bump, but a better way to go about asking the question is by writing a status update to the creator or PMing them in your messages. While with a 2-month orange bar, you could probably bump a thread from most subforums, The red bar really only has excuses in the Wads and Mods, Source Ports, and maybe Eternity. Spamming: This one is important! There are many ways you can spam on the forums. The most obvious of which is posting a lot. For example, You’re talking about 1 thing and separate it into 5 posts one after another. As such, You could also be commenting about separate things, but put it into separate posts, instead of multi-quoting. If you want to add to your previous post, you can always just edit it. Another example of Spamming is writing a very short response to something over and over again, or making a topic about something that doesn’t need a topic dedicated to it. For example, You are on a thread about a new discovery of the code in Doom that you can alter. And you take your time to write out this response, This is not a good response and is considered spamming. It is unnecessary and does not add to the conversation. It is annoying and distracting. Restrain yourself from ever writing anything like that. My Second Example for an unnecessary thread: this is a real example from me. When I first started out on Doomworld, I made a post called “Pistol Pickup” it was deleted and I got warned for it (rightfully), and this is basically what it said Not a good thread. Crude Humor: I haven’t gotten to shitposting yet, but although these sound similar at first, they are vastly different. Doomworld is fine with a bit of joking, but having over-the-top jokes are forbidden, and it is not good to use them on a forum for a videogame. For example; Political jokes, Racist jokes, Homophobic Jokes, Transphobic jokes, really risque humor, etc. Here is a real example of something I posted seen as crude humor (this is only for educational purposes, this joke is wrong and should not have been posted here or even went through my head. I’m sorry that I thought this was once funny) Not funny, not nice, and not appropriate for a thread about selling DOOM Merch. Shitposting: This is non-offensive humor, but stupid humor. This includes memery and really distracting jokes. For Example: going to a thread about a new megawad, and posting a meme to explain how easy it was to complete. Another example of a distracting joke would be something that takes away from the thread/is an eyesore. I’ll use a real example from a time when I responded to a question in Binary code. This was a long post and took away from the conversation. DO NOT DO THIS Rudeness: this is self-explanatory, and I mentioned it early in the netiquette section of this post. Basically, don’t be a dick. There are many ways to be a dick, and you don’t need to be one on a forum for people who just share an interest in a game. For Example: Don’t do that. EVER. also, don’t react the same way to these responses. This can still lead to you getting warned. An important thing to know is if there is ever an argument on the forums that you are not participating in, or are the victim of harassment, always use the report button. Mods will be able to either end the argument/harassment by warning or banning the participants or will lock the thread from having the arguments expanded further. Don’t report so much! - That being said, this is one more important rule to not forget. The Moderators here are fellow fans of DOOM, they want to have as good a time here as you have. So, don’t spam the report button because you disagree with somebody or are trying to be a detective of some sort. Use it only when needed. Complaining about being warned: Warnings and suspensions on Doomworld are not punishments. they are reminders to think about what you said or did in the past and try to improve from it. Being warned or suspended, then going out and complaining about it shows that you have not learned from your mistakes. The moderators are here to help you, not hurt you. You complaining about their work does not make you a hero of any sort, just a dick. These are the basic rules of Doomworld. You will get to know your way around here in time. Before you go off and start posting, it is important to learn the uses of each subforum on Doomworld. Doom General - Discuss things relating to Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, and the Master levels. This is a good place to ask questions about the Doom games, and maybe how they are played. Wads and Mods - a good place to discuss developments of new WADs, questions about old WADs, releases of new WADs, and review threads of WADs Doom Editing - a great place to learn the basics of making your own WADs for DOOM. There is an Editing questions and Editing Tutorials subsections to help ask why or help explain how to do something with editors for maps. Console DOOM - the place to ask questions about Ports of DOOM to places beyond PCs. Whether that is PSX DOOM, iPhone DOOM, GBA DOOM, and so on and so forth. This is the place to also talk about Mods for console DOOM’s, the new Unity Port by Bethesda, and Doom 64 (despite no longer being exclusive for N64). Source Ports - a place to talk about the development, releases, or questions about Source Ports made for DOOM. Whether it’s PrBoom, GZDoom, Crispy DOOM, and any other Source Port there is for DOOM. Doom Multiplayer - want to play DM with somebody? Come here to find players. You can also find out how to play DM. sometimes you might find a DM map on here. A good place for all your deathmatch needs. Doom Eternal - A place to discuss, ask questions about, and do anything that has to do with 2020s DOOM Eternal. DOOM 2016 - similar to the Eternal subforum, but for the 2016 game. The most major difference is that on DOOM 2016, there are sometimes posts about Snapmap maps DOOM 3 - similar to Eternal as well. People also post mods here they made for DOOM 3. DOOM Speed Demos - want to compete in speedrunning activities? Want to post your new World Record for a WAD. post all of your Doom speedrunning here! Creative Works - Do you write fanfiction? Do you make art? Post all of your creations relating to DOOM here! Eternity - A subforum dedicated to the popular advanced DOOM source port. A better place than Source Ports to ask any questions about Eternity. Freedoom - Post anything relating to Freedoom. Freedoom is a free way to play DOOM without owning the base games (can play WADs without paying for the DOOM/DOOM 2 IWAD). Great for questions, development threads, and so much more relating to Freedoom. Everything Else - anything not related to DOOM to talk about/ask questions about. There is so much to look for in this subforum. Many people ask fun/funny personal questions here, there are fun games you can participate in, and so So SO much more! Look for anything here not totally related to DOOM. Doomworld News - This is the last subforum you’ll see on the homepage. It used to be hosted by the Admins to talk about News in the DOOM community. Sometimes it would talk about a new major release, all the big releases in the previous month, or anything else news-worthy about DOOM. It is now a dead subforum that probably won’t be revived. Most threads have not had any responses in years. It might be nostalgic to look at, but you don’t have to visit it. That’s most of the basic stuff you should know before posting on the Doomworld forums! If you have any questions or suggestions to add, comment below! Have a good time posting! Rip N’ Tear!

Is Years still active? She hasn't visited since April 2020 (Coincidentally at the same time that I joined, maybe I am the reason for her inactivity).

I think Blackpuppy was responding to this post. I looked at this for a good minute trying to figure out why they posted that response, but I think I got some context.

Hidden in the shadows, lies a beast of a dead meme.

I should get back on topic. A year ago Eris said his grandfather still played DOOM. His grandfather is now 90 and played DOOM 2016 when he was 88. I imagine he is the oldest DOOM Player.

secretly sticking up its middle finger.

Not that new, since my account is over 1 year old, but I'll still introduce myself to New Members here! Hello, I am Chip! I am a console Doom Player on PS4. I usually only play the older Doom games and have only attempted DOOM 2016 out of the Newfangled Doom games. Despite only playing on console, I am still pretty good on my DOOM community trivia by reading the Forums, Doom Wiki entries, and watching Youtube playthroughs. I am a huge DOOM Comic enthusiast, and even uncovered a lost official comic from 2010. I have my own DOOM Comic site (which you can find in my bio) made on Google Sites. I have contributed to some (I think 2) earlier issues of the Doom Master Wadazine. I also LOVE DOOM 64. I've played every WAD added to the DOOM Unity Port so far.

I assume they play DOOM on Linux.

If they did release single maps, I would imagine they released it in a pack of several different maps put together in the same way the Master Levels were put together. Like, you can play a master level, then when completed, it brought you to a menu where you could choose another map where you could only pistol start.

Lots of November Birthdays. Interesting

Can update my age to 14 1/2.

Nothing huge here, but if you haven't visited the Doomwiki in a bit, they are planning on updating their terms of use on August 30th, 2021 at 8:30 PM CDT. Basically, the update is just this (taken from the Doomwiki), The jurisdiction of the website has been changed from Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, to Cook County Illinois. That is all! please do not derail the thread with any political views or anything like that. I simply posted this thread for others to be aware that there is will be a slight change in the terms of use for the Doomwiki.

I would at least wait a few months for the bugfix of -1 to be over.

Sequels to community projects are hard to pull off. I would wait a couple of years, maybe, before attempting a sequel. Also, -1 hasn't completed its bugfix yet, so many users are determined to get that out of the way before coming here and starting a new WAD.
