An interview with Sgt. Sgt - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;28481798]Atleast you can still credit people :3:[/QUOTE] I try. If I ever forget let me know. [QUOTE=EliteGuy;28481865]The only time I've seen you act unreasonable was a year or so ago when you accused someone of stealing when they made a similar looking tunnel.[/QUOTE] Yeah we figured that mess out, by we I mean hawx and I. We now talk on steam a fair amount. I really don't know what peoples problem is with me but it would be nice to know. Other than my sarcastic comments that some people take seriously and the fact that I can't stand stupid questions I really dunno what I did wrong or whatever. [editline]7th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=BLOODGA$M;28483357]Remember when you released that one version of evocity that had an entity that crashed the game if you tried to play it on any server except a specific one, then flipped the fuck out when people found a way to get rid of it? Luckily for you I'm pretty sure that thread is gone now[/QUOTE] Yeah. Well everybody makes mistakes. I think I have made up for it by releasing 4 other versions of evocity both 1 and 2. I won't deny that either of those things happened. It was one of the very few times I ever got banned on this forum too. However for people to hold a grudge about it for this long is just childish and stupid. Not even I can be pissed at anyone that long.

[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;28460470]He has the biggest ego out of all of the mappers I know.[/QUOTE] I call bullshit. You apparently never have seen The Pro post on this forum.

I really don't understand what this forum has against you. I have been here since 06, and I can easily say that I have never seen you be an arrogant prick about your maps. Nothing wrong with sarcasm, every does it and why shouldn't you? I mean I don't know how people can deny your a good mapper since they seem to be filled on my sever list. You seem to make maps that are of good use and serve a purpose more than just eye candy which in my mind is way better.

What the fuck is with the random questions? Such as: [quote]Prof: Vanilla, strawberry or chocolate[/quote]

If people are digging into Sgt. Sgt. because his huge maps (the ones that almost take up the entire grid) lack detail, then you really need to learn more about the limitations of the Source Engine. Any given source map can only have 2048 edicts (on the client and server - the main issue is serverside edicts... A server will crash when you fill 2032 edicts). Things like prop_physics, player spawns, etc. take up edicts. In order to have a functional map that people can actually [b]play[/b] on then you need to optimize your edict usage. Recently i configured my gamemode to work on rp_apocalypse and due to the amount of entities and props i arranged for the map (that get spawned by my gamemode) i ended up hitting the edict limit when about 10 players joined the server and started playing. In order to make a map playable you have to allow for players to actually spawn things. And in order to do this you have to limit your map's entity usage.

[QUOTE=Within;28483833]What the fuck is with the random questions? Such as:[/QUOTE] I think you've got to ask yourself: What the fuck [I]isn't[/I] with the random questions It's still an interview, and now you know what his favorite flavor of ice cream is :) (Well, out of those 3)

I'm sorry. But if I'd wanted to read an interview about someone prominent, I want to know about their work. Not their favorite type of ice cream. It's a bad question and makes for a bad interview. You don't read in the New York Times about a 2 star general liking go karts better than bycicles.

I don't get why they discuss GMF in a mapmaker interview. Kinda retarded topic to be honest.

I seriously don't understand why you all take yourselves so seriously on here. It's a bit of fun, get over the fact that there were 3 questions which didn't result in a laugh. The interview was never about his work. If you want to find out about that then there's a Facepunch thread on almost every map he's made. You can keep bitching on here. I think I'll go somewhere else.

Well the problem is that it isn't even [I]a bit[/I] of fun. It's annoying and stupid.

[QUOTE=Van-man;28490218]You have a problem accepting criticism. And that's not good if you want to improve.[/QUOTE] What you guys have been posting is not criticism, it's just pure malice.

[QUOTE=Proffrink;28492516]What you guys have been posting is not criticism, it's just pure malice.[/QUOTE] The only solution is to kill yourself.

[QUOTE=Proffrink;28492516]What you guys have been posting is not criticism, it's just pure malice.[/QUOTE] You have a huge but fragile ego. Keep up like that, and it's gonna burst like a balloon that's met a needle.

Sgt.Sgt, I don't like you.

[QUOTE=Communizt;28497015]Sgt.Sgt, I don't like you.[/QUOTE] This man deserves a medal.

hahaha that interview is really shitty wow this site blows

[QUOTE=Proffrink;28492516]What you guys have been posting is not criticism, it's just pure malice.[/QUOTE] The criticism was that it is not interesting to read about his favourite type of ice cream and other dumb, irrelevant questions. Also the humour was horrible and you stop trying to make such jokes in an interview. People wish to read and know about things about his work, because that's what he is known for. A few questions about his personal life is also cool to know. Like, this is a great question: [quote]Prof: Can we expect to see anymore maps from you in the future? If so, can you give us some hints as to what they will be like?[/quote] but you should totally stop with [quote]Prof: Melon or cone?[/quote] or [quote]Prof: Oh god, that job isn’t what I think it is is it?[/quote] It's irrelevant and not funny at all.

[QUOTE=MenteR;28497317]hahaha that interview is really shitty wow this site blows[/QUOTE] You sir, Win everything and lose nothing.

[QUOTE=Communizt;28497634]You sir, Win everything a lose nothing.[/QUOTE] You sir, need a grammar check.

[QUOTE=Communizt;28497015]Sgt.Sgt, I don't like you.[/QUOTE] Congrats, I really could care less what someone who has never met me thinks. Your sad attempt at being a troll just goes to show just how pathetic you really are.

[QUOTE=Sgt.Sgt;28479030]I do not. I hardly have one at all. If you think I do I would like some proof of it. Also I don't know you therefore you don't know me.[/QUOTE] How about the fact that every two pages in your Evocity thread you and SirZoloft would get into a fight with someone, flame the shit out of them, and then you would ban the person you were arguing with for flaming? :cool:

[QUOTE=Sgt.Sgt;28479030][b]I know a lot about the Source engine and the sdk.[/b] You are misinformed. [b]The mappers you have listed don't map what I do.[/b] They make small more detailed maps. Unfortunately with source you have to spread detail out more as the map gets larger. Mainly this comes in for geometry. I try to counter with models and displacements but it only goes so far before you exhaust all available resources. [b]My maps also don't drop to 4fps when looking at a waterfall.[/b] [b]Evocityv2d has had over a half million downloads from the download sites where I keep track.[/b] At the current time it comes in 4th on the stats page at garrysmod.com with 41 server and v17x the new-ish one has 23 going. Downtown and evocity flip flop depending on the time of day on number of players and number of servers. Evocity generally has a higher player-to-server ratio than downtown. Map Name / Gamemode/ Servers/ Players 3 rp_downtown_v2 / DarkRP 2.4.1/ 76 / 258 4 rp_evocity_v2d/ DarkRP 2.4.1/ 41 / 232 I do not. I hardly have one at all. If you think I do I would like some proof of it. Also I don't know you therefore you don't know me.[/QUOTE] Ok. [editline]8th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Sgt.Sgt;28501767]Congrats, I really could care less what someone who has never met me thinks. Your sad attempt at being a troll just goes to show just how pathetic you really are.[/QUOTE] I'm glad you still care.

[QUOTE=TH89;28502040]How about the fact that every two pages in your Evocity thread you and SirZoloft would get into a fight with someone, flame the shit out of them, and then you would ban the person you were arguing with for flaming? :cool:[/QUOTE] All of those people were banned legitimately. I don't recall flaming anyone in that thread. If you disagree that's fine,I respect your opinion. Also if I had done something wrong a supermod would have stepped in. The only reason I am not a mod anymore was due to my lack of activity thanks to having no Internet for a month.

Wow, Facepunch is a very Hostile place. I like it.

All I could think of was RANK UP: SGT SGT MASTER OF THE SGT'S SHOOTER PERSON when reading this.

[QUOTE=Sgt.Sgt;28501767]Congrats, I really could care less what someone who has never met me thinks. Your sad attempt at being a troll just goes to show just how pathetic you really are.[/QUOTE] "I don't like you" "You're pathetic" kind of rude isn't it

Seems like we're going places, since TH89 popped into this thread.

[QUOTE=TH89;28503245]I was a supermod and I stepped in repeatedly yo.[/QUOTE] Yeah you pm'ed me a couple of times. However if you want to discuss my mod history who got theirs removed for handing out ridiculous bans? I may have banned a lot of people in my own thread but they all deserved it. It had a lot of trolling on other peoples parts mainly because I was making money off of it. I also frequented that thread a lot more then went back into sdk. I had tha one guy that kept making Alts just to continue being a dick. Postal also stepped in on the donate option and never had a problem with it. [editline]9th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeb Brown;28502736]Wow, Facepunch is a very Hostile place. I like it.[/QUOTE] It never used to be this bad. Dunno what happened. SmartAss comments will follow I'm sure.

We're giving you criticism so the next time you decide to interview someone, you'd at least know how to do it more properly.
