Terry is a pseudonym for one or more Doom mappers known for creating a genre of maps called "Terrywads". Terry debuted with UAC Military Nightmare and has since released a stream of single level wads utilizing the "terry trap" - a Doom map equivalent of an Internet screamer. Because of this, some community members have described him as "one of the worst wad authors in existence".[citation needed]

Terrywads

Terrywads are PWADs created for advanced source ports, usually for Skulltag, that consist of an incomplete map design intended to lure the player into the "terry trap". However, additional tactics may be used, such as creating a zip bomb. One particular example, a map titled "Infected Base" is a 1.22 MB ZIP file that decompresses to 1 GB. This is a 99% compression ratio. Some maps have also been shown to modify configuration files, a potential attack vector, but were mostly used for irritating the user by leaving him or her with a corrupt configuration.

Aliases

Terry has also been known to go under different names, which imply a group of mappers may be involved. A few of these names include Dr. Tickle, Poppy Jones, Cheeky Wilson, Mark "Thomson" Jones, Paul Wilson, and Jones Wilson.

Community action

Due to the outcry of the community concerning Terrywads, Ty Halderman, archive maintainer of the idgames archive, enacted a new list of policies for uploaded files. As a result, the most destructive of the maps were removed and banned from reuploading until zip bombs were removed, and all Terrywads thereafter were relocated to /themes/terrywads/.
