Large Update Scheduled
« on: March 07, 2019, 12:30:27 AM »
Hey everyone!

So, I'm planning on a rather significant, and large, update. Given the download size that could be involved, I thought it only fair to provide some advance notice. I don't know what the final size will be, as I'm not familiar enough with how much compression ratio the server will give me. However, it could very easily be upwards of a few hundred megabytes. I strongly recommend allowing extra time for the download to complete.

I'm scheduling it for Saturday afternoon, around noon (Eastern Standard Time). That is, if all goes well (including the Toolset not screwing me over, which I absolutely cannot promise).

If anything changes, I will update!

Cheers,
Your Friendly Neighbourhood Mapper

   Back to back, they faced each other; drew their swords, and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise, and soon arrested the two dead boys.

I did not want to do this, in fact it was the entire point of setting myself a deadline, but I'm not going to make it. Having been mapping for roughly 16 hours straight, I am nonetheless not there.

I am bumping this to Sunday, same time, 12:00 Eastern Daylight Time (which comes into effect for me Sunday morning).

It pains me to admit this massive failure, but as the reality of the task sets in, I am *forced* to admit that I require at least two more days. So what I'm going to do is, just freaking post it when I'm done, several hours before the actual commit and re-stage.

With that said, I will also say that the entire point of posting it like this in the first place was to inspire and motivate myself by attaching a deadline to the project. At that, I succeeded. I have accomplished more mapping in the past 48 hours than in perhaps the entire month previous, so I'm going to forgive myself the failure.

I'll keep y'all posted. Promise.

Oh. And when I DO do it, turn your IG music on or FACE MY WRATH!
