Ugh

Thanks to Fern for posting one of the most evil posts ever (on the Perpetual Energy review), when it comes to the use of <'s and >'s. I hadn't done any code so it would parse them properly so his post turned to shit. Since its nice to read peoples posts, its now fixed.
Now speaking on the fuss caused by the Rich_Bar and Perpetual Energy reviews. The focus of this site is to review maps of any quality, but if a map is bad, very bad, we'll write a harsh review back. Its not something we hide either, this is mentioned in the Contact & Help thread.

We do try to give fair reviews but it has been known for our rather temperamental reviewers to slaughter bad maps.

and it is also mentioned when you submit a map:

3. Make sure the map is properly finished. The last thing we want to see is half baked shit, because one its not fun to review and two it will make you look bad.

The point I'm making here is that when you submit a map, think about the quality of it. Is it at least up to the standard of what came with Quake? Is it something people will download? Is it something people will want to play?
It's a bit annoying to think you've spent more time reviewing a map than the time it took to make it. So as way of compensation, we do write some nasty shit. I understand fully it is disheartening to the author, but really, should the map have been released? The only suggestion I have is to work at making maps until you have something that is at least of id standard (which admittedly compared to the best custom maps out there isn't too hot). By all means ignore my suggestion but the results of it have been clearly shown over the last few days.
PS : A couple of reviews will probably appear tomorrow evening.

I am not quite sure what you mean here...
I will assume that you are playing Quake 1 and have Internet access.
To play on the Net, you really need GameSpy, a program that searches the Net for Quake servers and connects you to one. For this option Quakeworld (a modified version of Quake specifically designed for Net play) is *highly* recommended.
Alternatively, and my preferred option as I lack spare time and a decent connection, is to play against Bots. A Bot is an artificially *intelligent* opponent that can play against you on your own computer. I favour the Omicron Bot and have recently discovered the most excellent CTFBot which plays a half-decent game of Capture The Flag and also has female player models to be '0wn3d' by!
Hope this helps - post a message if you need any more info.
