Gentlemen,
First of all allow me to congratulate vdgg on finishing that bitch of a run (CC2 map 24 UV max)!
Now, I'm sure your reflections on the map 24 comment in the CC2 demo pack are all made in jest, but let me just for the record state that nobody involved in that demo pack ever said that an UV max run was impossible ("an unrealistic amount of infighting is needed", or something to that effect, was the term I used). The comment was based on the DMTHA output I -- and everyone else involved in the demopack, who must've been just as unaware of the possibility of the technique used in vdgg's run as I was, or else they surely would have opposed this formulation -- assumed gave an, as Vile put it, "unflattering" impression. I guess nobody bothered to find out the inner workings of that map, mostly (I assume) because of its "ZDoom-only" status. It was impossible to finish with any doom2.exe compatible source port at the time. The comments in the demo pack simply reflect the aforementioned impression. Aside from this, it sounded better than saying "we can't be bothered and want to play some other WADs now". :-)
This post is also a worthy contender for the most needlessly complicated sentence structure ever used in a DW demos forum post. ;-)
