CHAPTER 3

1 To every wad there is a season, and a time to every purpose under Skulltag:
2 A time to post project threads, and a time to end projects; a time to code, and a time to debug that which is coded;
3 A time to release the source, and a time to create sequels; a time to reverse engineer, and a time to code from scratch;
4 A time to refrain from play, and a time to participate; a time to whine, and a time to give Cacowards;
5 A time to cast away old code, and a time to gather old code together; a time to accept criticism, and a time to refrain from the critics;
6 A time to lock pk3s, and a time to be banned for it; a time to claim rights, and a time to release resources;
7 A time to lock, and a time to unban; a time to contribute, and a time to troll;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of flame wars, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10 I have seen the travail, which iD hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 They hath made every wad beautiful in their time: also they have set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that iD maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for an author to rejoice, and to code well in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his coding, it is the gift of iD.
14 I know that, whatsoever iD doeth, it shall be for all: code can be put to it, and any code taken from it: and iD doeth it, that men should fear before them.
15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and iD requireth that which is past.
16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 I said in mine heart, Scuba Steve shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every game mode and for every wad.
18 I said in mine heart concerning the posts of the sons of men, that Metalhead might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are furries.
19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth Furries; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a Skulltag player hath no preeminence above a Furry: for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Who knoweth the spirit of Skulltag Players that goeth upward, and the spirit of the Furry that goeth downward to the earth?
22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that an author should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
