I live in a relatively Doomer-free zone of the world, so it has always been
hard to find anyone to DM against. I do remember one time a few years ago
when I had the good fortune to play against this local blowhard named
Nagorak. We had a match going on E1M6, with a pretty low frag count,
considering that it's a large level for two people trying to find one
another. The score was somewhere around 10 to 0 with me in the lead when I
had the opportunity to clean up on a bunch of health and rocket ammo. Once
I had 200/200 and about 75 rockets, I ran to the exit room and began
taunting my opponent.
Since I had tipped him off to my location via my transmissions, Nagorak
immediately ran to find me with his puny shotgun. As he entered the
hallway in front of me, I merely lobbed off a few rockets and watched him
turn to paste.
I laughed and waited. Like the dog he was, he came running back, this time
with only his pistol. One rocket was enough to do him in. I waited again
and, like clockwork, he reappeared and was smeared against the wall.
This went on for a good ten minutes. One time Nagorak thought he would
gain the upper had by procuring a rocket launcher before visiting me. It
didn't do him any good, though -- he ended up shooting a wall and taking
himself out.
On and on and on it went. Every time Nagorak died, he figured that I must
be out of rockets and the time was ripe to strike. With seventy-five
rockets, though, I was ready to camp until Judgement Day.
Finally, Nagorak was able to dispose of me by running into the exit room,
standing right next to me, and blowing us both up. Once the match had
ended, the score told it all: 37 to -2.
