Talk:UV pacifist

Adam Hegyi takes issue with footnote 3, pointing out that other maps have been thought impossible in certain categories for years, and then suddenly a valid demo would turn up. My response to that is the same as what I said about the Tyson inconsistency &mdash; only more so, because no weapons are allowed at all! I suppose someone could stand on the lift with the Cyberdemon, between him and the exposed brain, dodging rockets at point-blank range (along with everything else) for heaven knows how many minutes/hours until three of them happened to be fired at the correct altitude and went through the hole... that is, if the Cyberdemon could get to the lift in the first place.

I'm currently having trouble remembering why I applied footnote 2, rather than 1, to E2M8. As Steffen Udluft pointed out when he started compiling pacifist demos, it's *possible* for the skulls to kill the cyberdemon, we're just never going to see it (given this RNG).

Well, there's 20 Lost Souls on E2M8 on UV, their attacks only do 3-24 damage, and the Cyberdemon has 4000 hit points. 24 times 20 is 480. I'd say it's impossible. Luc69 17:46, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
