First a Hardy to those that enjoyed my maps. And I've read every Kind word, I thank you all. I am glad those that chose to fly them had the same fun I did. I really want to let you guys know how good the feeling I get when I see you's having fun. I do have a thick skin and enjoyed doing these maps. You wouldn't ( well some do ) understand the time consumption of getting a map to completion. It is a burden and thank god i have not only a beautiful wife, but an understanding wife. Who saw my passion and let me run with it. I know that i could never please everyone, and of course there are many things that get over looked in a map, for the few flaws I am sorry.

It was very unfortunate tonight as my wife was watching me fly in Tunisia, the complains about the frame rate hits on this map, and one person quoted " whoever made this map must hate AH,and it's players" we'll I won't get into the words my wife said, or could i describe the look on her face, BUT she has In so few words said so much. With this I must pass the torch to the next set of mapmakers. Good Luck, God Bless, have thick skin and an understanding spouse.

Nuttz

a big S! your Tunisia and Perdonia maps are the 1s have the most fun on. Most of the folks I fly with enjoy them a lot. Brady did a great job with the set up and is only out done by your terrain.

You are an asset to the ct and ah. Dont let the jackarses get to you. Without you and the others making maps where would the ct be? The clouds do cause me a bit of an fps hit but nothing unmanageable. Especially when there are numerous other fields to fly from.

Could you please let us know who it was that made these statements?

Anyway great map great work.

NUTTZ,

Your maps are great. Whoever said that is a dolt.

I'm sorry to see you pass the torch, but given the circumstances I fully understand. I'm just sorry that it happened that way.

(Frame rate issues:confused:, I didn't have any)

~~NUTTZ!~~

Yeah, dont let yourself get down by a bunch of imbeciles that dont know how to use their computers.

Your maps were the best, I even hope HTC hires you to make a lot more of them.

Nuttz,

As a quite regular CT flyer, I just have to say that my experience has changed since you were making maps. You are an artist, and I can see your hand in there. Sorry to hear what happened.

I hope it's not a final decission, but, whatever it is, just *Thanks* for your hard work. I know it is.

Cheers,

Pepe

Good god, these people I wounder I realy do somtimes, We are all pashonate about this game and since we are we somtimes say impashioned things good and bad, I endevore as much as I can to consider the source and try to be objective, howeaver I fail at times, I hope you see this for what it was, dribble, and from someone who does not know anything for which he speaks.

NUTTZ wheather they realize it our not a great thing has happened here, and without that map of your's nothing could of happened at all, my god have you seen the numbers!

We must all bear in mind this map was from him alone, none of us asked for it, shure we looked at , but it was all his doing, and a most wonderfull thing it is.

NUTTZ dont let those A holes win, you are better than this biger than this, the best way to flip them off is to build more, better yet impower other's to do the same.

Somthing else we nead to ponder or the rather those clueless clauds do, HTC did not load up NUTTZ's finial vershion, by mistake they uploaded an earlyer draft of this map, what few bugs their are ( far fewer than most all other maps I have seen, even MA maps are not bug free) are on a beta map of all things!

NUTTZ,

Whew, I thought this was going to be one of those "I quit" threads. It's still sad to have you stop making maps, however. Your contribution to AH and the CT can't be measured and you are due for a long break, thank you. You will always be known as the first great player-map-maker. The Mitsu of mapers!

I only ask that you keep an eye on the BB Map forum to help out newbies, I have been hoping to make a map or 2 myself.

Thank you and salute!
I hope that you enjoy your new found spare time even more than you did making maps. Thank your wife for us for giving you up as much as she has already (I'm sure that this comes from 98% of us).

NUTTZ
Please explain to your better half that some in AH are still more concerned with their acne than any real life issue and don't have a clue what it takes to do anything yet.
This map is the best one yet. I do not suffer fps at all. Rock solid 80's with clutter on! It is well laid out for the smaller numbers in CT and is a blast. Don't let some moron's 2 cents bother you or yours. We wouldn't have the problem if AH kept it at $29.95

~~to u and urs - for the time you and she have given us for our entertainment enjoyment~~

NUTTZ, if you quit making maps we're all gonna come to Philly and rough you up! We cannot let you quit making maps. I know how it feels to put a lot of work into something and have people tear it down. Just try to wear a smile and soldier on man, the game is much better for it.

Naso · « **Reply #11 on:** April 17, 2002, 08:34:40 AM »

NUTTZ, go back to your work of mapmaker, we need your awesome maps!!

Tell your beautiful wife we are not all idiots like those she saw.

Come back, please!

Last night I noticed a few comments about diminished frame rate, but nothing that bad. Personally my frame rate was down from a usual 60 to 30, but that seems to happen in any map when I'm in an area of dense cloud cover, as I was last night. In other words it was completely normal for me.

The Tunisia map is hands down the best map I've seen yet in my short time playing AH. I don't know the in's and out's of making a map, but I've learned enough to tell the difference between bad and good. Besides, the CT numbers speak for themselves. When I logged in last night to meet the squad I belong to there were 58 people in CT. THAT"S TWICE AS MUCH AS THE HIGHEST NUMBER I'VE SEEN IN THE LAST MONTH!

Get a clue, dude! You made an awesome map! To hell with the whiners. I wish you'd reconsider your decision!

NUTTZ,

The first time I flew the Tunisia terrain *my* wife was sitting at the computer next to mine reading eMail. I had her have a look as I was flying around because it was such a wonderful map. My artsy, computer illiterate wife loved it! Her only question was how long it takes to do something like that "on a computer." (I told her that there was an editor I was unfamiliar with but that I wouldn't be suprised if there was a couple hundred hours in it.)

I take a frame rate hit near the default storm front so I stay away from it. That is it, that is all, EVERYTHING else is excellent.

The map is fantastic and the planeset is a wonderful challenge for both sides. Those of us with two brain cells to rub together thank you for it and appreciate the effort it takes.

Nuttz Please go get your wife. Sit her down and have her read this thread. Top to bottom, front to back. Don't you argue with her, let us plead your case.

There are always going to be 1 or 2 jerks who have no clue what they are talking about. However you very well know that the vast majority of AH players love and adore your work. AH pilots can be a fickel bunch, plus we know HT listens so we tend to whine a lot. In Perdonia some whined that there were no clouds. In tunesia some whined that there are too many. But thats all they are, just a whine. Not really worth listening too.

Nuttz your an artist. In your field you are better than Ruebens, Renoir, Picasso, Gaugan, even Michealangelo. Can an artist set down his brushes & walk away?

Take a break yes, renew his soul & spend more time with his wife yes. But quit?

I've been watching you & your terrains for some time now. I've always been a fan, & have done what I could to get others to see your ability & get you the status you deserved. Hang in there Nuttz, you know we all love you and your work.

However the real key here Nuttz was stated by brady. A combination of your terrain and his setup has had the CT full every night. Numbers have been higher than for any other CT I've seen. Your Tunesia will also I'm sure be used in many other events, TOD, etc.

Flying low over the desert has me reaching for my drink constantly. Man I feel hot & thirsty!

And if this really is goodbye, well Nuttz you've done your piece. You've paid back to AH way more than your share. ~~bro, been fun flying with and against a class act like you.~~
