Jude (Mapper) - February 2000
One day, while idling in #challenge-eu (on Barrysworld), jude dropped by and asked if anyone there spoke Polish. Since I knew RooS was in #challenge (on ETG) I directed jude over there, and sure enough RooS (who is Polish) spoke excellent Polish.jude wanted to know if anyone could translate some messages on a Polish MB about his new map, q3jdm8a. It turns out that the map has been popular with a lot of 1-on-1 players (Gobo gave it a good plug on Truegamers.net). RooS (who organises some big Q3 leagues in Poland) played the map and really liked it. In fact, he had some buddies record a demo on it (the demo even uses an alpha of "pro mode") which you can get here.
So after a while, I'm sitting in #challenge again and jude and I get to talking and we decide to do an interview. I've always been very interested in the "mapping scene" and would love to make maps if I had (a) the talent and (b) the time. One of the things I've noticed about custom mappers is that very few make maps specifically for 1-on-1, or Team DM, and for this reason jude's work is particularly interesting.
