Liberty Inspired Me

No, not the age old concept of individualist ideas such as freedom and the right to swear at your mother (God rest your soul), but our very own Liberty, who said something to me that resonated within.

And I quote, "Looking at your current maps, you seem to be intermediate/decent at mapping."

Now, in no way did I take this as an insult. If anything, it's a compliment. Looking at your own games, Liberty, I should feel honored that you would consider my mapping intermediate and/or decent. And I do. But, as Ricky Bobby's father once said, "If you're not first, you're last." I'm pretty sure that doesn't imply I'll ever be first at mapping, but Liberty's words did inspire me to go back through all 148 of my maps and meticulously add more details. From waterfalls and creeks to elevation and denser woods. There's even more shit hanging on the walls of the Bouncing Beaver.

Anyway, my point, if it hasn't been made clear yet, is that someone famous within the community (no, I'm not an ass kisser, thank you for wondering) said something that inspired me to better my makgam capabilities, and for that, I thank her.

TL;DR:
Liberty inspired me to better my mapping skills. That's all you really need to take from this.

Liberty inspires me, too ^_^
That is awesome! :)
Great things happen to those who make such encounters and words into opportunities.

Yeah, she tends to do that to people.
Well, this is a first. Someone actually acted cool about advice.

Give this guy a fucking medal.

(I'm not being sarcastic by the way. I am actually legitimately happy to hear this.)

You gotta be open to critique to survive any length of time in the makgam industry.

I like to think the majority are open to feedback and criticism, it's just that the few who aren't are loud and noisy and get the most attention around here.
I echo Pizza and Infection's sentiments. I kind of wish I wasn't so quiet. ><

Seconded.

Initially reading this blog post, I was totally riled me up for a completely petty baw post in response to constructive feedback, but then I read it all the way through. You deserve respect, Warlund.

I was hoping no one would mistake my genuine appreciation for criticism as sarcasm. It's not. Thanks, anyway!

Good message. Just remember to assess as correctly as you can whether or not the criticism is valid. Sometimes if you cater to every single voice, you can take bad advice as well as the good. I appreciate your encouragement of Liberty, too.
Aw shucks.
>///<

Glad my advice helped! I'm always glad when people decide to push their current limits a bit more and aim higher. There's no roof to reach, so why not, eh? ;p
Everyone inspires me, except for the people that don't inspire me.
