ParaSpider's Introduction? by ViceTechnicolour June 17, 2014 at 9:06 PM UTC

Uh.. old one got buried at Oldvicus. You can use this thread and this thread only to ask me questions over the forum, and ask questions about your maps/status of them. Anything you want, you got. Some FAQ on my profile x3

I don't expect many replies, but go ahead.

Why do u call me a hacker?

ViceTechnicolour June 17, 2014 at 9:06 PM UTC

Why do u call me a hacker?
I never accuse players of hacking because
 1. If they are, they will most likely turn it off.
 2. It's not really respectful and it's rage-like.
 3. It causes other players to go bonkers.

I've not called you a hacker.

whos the next map dev? ;3

How did you pick your name?

How did you pick your name?
I do not believe one has yet been chosen, however there certainly are suggestions spiraling. I can confirm, however, there will be more map developers in the future. The only issue is that not everyone is entirely qualified for it and if we had magic map-making YMLer ponies that knew everything inside and out, we'd probably promote them by now :P

EDIT: I used to be known as TheMasterCow, and before that, TheLegendOfGames. I switched over from TheMasterCow for some fresh stats on OCN, and after that I chose ParaSpider as another main account due to a project that I was helping on for a bit called "Athena", and I wanted to fit in with ParaPenguin and ParaPhoenix's name trend. Unfortunately, the Para himself is not very fond of me using this name, so when 1.8 rolls around with namechanging I will most likely try to get a more creative and original name.

Nope, there aren't visible eyes in my skin however it looks VERY creepy with the gray dots as eyes. Cannot unsee!

What's the hardest/funnest thing to do as a Map Dev?
Hardest: Trying to get things done by a deadline such as MDs, MEs, or when we break something and put the server in jeopardy. Generally having to do stuff quick.

Funnest: I've set maps a couple of times. I absolutely love how players will build new tactics and find their way to play them. Sometimes, it actually makes me happy ;D

How many map devs ? ]:)



(Thats a Devil, Just so you know)

I don't know, just whoever comes along I guess. I personally would want to stick with just 1 more mapdev so communication is easier and such, but there might be more.

What made you want to be a Map Dev?

ViceTechnicolour June 17, 2014 at 11:06 PM UTC

What made you want to be a Map Dev?
I love maps and building/helping is one of my professions. While I had several mediocre maps, I was in the map committee, asked to have the maps repo access.. and somehow I got mapdev and got to where I am now. Followed along for a while though :P

How did you become a Map Developer?

What's the most important quality to become a map dev?

ViceTechnicolour June 18, 2014 at 3:06 PM UTC

How did you become a Map Developer?
I was a member of the map committee when it first started, and I was asked privately by Gill if I wanted to be in it. I accepted it, and I believe I grew into a mapdev by doing a lot of contributions, eventually me asking if I could have access to the Github repo. I got it, then after a while, I got the user rank, after that Junior Dev (which lets me help manage docs.avicus.net and issue tracker). I'm now a mapdev :3

Why isn't Koodalord a Map Developer?
I don't know. I'm not really the one to ask about this, but I believe he's caught up with his own server right now xD

What's the most important quality to become a map dev?
I believe teamwork. Collaboration is very important instead of just personal opinions and making random changes to the server. We are able to do stuff faster, and better, that way.

This isn't a question but is just a great place to say how much everyone appreciates you and Evo's work. You've really become a back bone of Avicus and I'm sure that everyone will agree with that... And if they don't - they're wrong! :D
I love you <3

I actually am now thinking I should go back to TheMasterCow's account, but I will probably find a good name eventually. praspeder sounds solid for a name ;o)

But to answer your question, your OiTC maps will still be kept and possibly converted to another gamemode if you wish. I'll ask the creators individually what they want :3
