A quite serious request actually. We need a modeller to make a statue of CB due to the sheer awesomeness of his contributions of empires code. In tribute to his previous additions to the empires code (making many mappers happy chappys) some of us feel that some appreciation should be shown. Therefore, we want to add a statue of CB into emp_slaughtered in the middle of the lake, emp_mvalley in the dam, emp_cyclopean somewhere in the lake, emp_streetsoffire on the fountain (nf side). The statue should be quite large (like really big so it towers over the nf rax). Ideally it should be modelled on CB (pm him for pics - he has agreed to provide) with him in a roman plume helmet holding a classic burrito in one hand and a coffee mug in the other.
If Krenzo wants a statue he can have one, though he is the founder of empires, I thought that was recognition enough.
I think it's a bad idea to put anyone's statue in unless it specifically fits the theme of a particular map.
Who has the right to put stuff into other people's maps? Lets start with that. Note: this is just another bad joke, so don't bug me about it.
21:52 Coffeeburrito • put it in all 3 maps 21:52 Coffeeburrito • :D\ 21:52 Smithy • lols 21:52 Mageknight • every map has a statue to CB 21:53 • Caelo [~chatzilla@94.210.227.47] has quit IRC 21:53 Coffeeburrito • yes 21:53 Coffeeburrito • so who will model it? 21:53 Coffeeburrito • I'll have to send them some pictures of me :D 21:53 +Deif • I'm making a forum request 21:53 Coffeeburrito • lol 21:53 Coffeeburrito • I'm committing dlls now btw 21:54 +Trickster • 21:54 +Deif • no doubt solokiller and mootant will spam "Who gave you permission to modify official maps" 21:54 +Trickster • Im pretty sure its a bot 21:54 +Trickster • they have
I have no doubt that adding a statue of a former dev in several maps will only serve to lower morale for the rest of team, and i don't care about your thoughts on this.
If anything, Empires needs a secret room on some maps where there's photos of the whole dev team or something.
Wait, you mean if the dev team told us what was going on we'd feel a personal connection and maybe like them more? Really? I never knew there was a talking part to a relationship.
Agreed, that's why there should be a group memorial for all developing comrades, like this: From left to right: Krenzo, DonMegel, Coffeeburito, Mootant and Solokiller
