Ralph Vickers (Ralphis)

Ralph "Ralphis" Vickers is an American doomer from Philadelphia. He has contributed to a variety of projects over the years.

Overview
He is the founding member of Unidoom, a mapping and competitive Doom clan. He was an original member of the ZDaemon team, and currently serves as a project lead and founder of the Odamex project. He has been in the community since founding Unidoom as a wad review site in the summer of 1998.

Multiplayer career
Ralphis is a well known competitive player and proponent of multiplayer Doom. He represented North America in the first official North America vs. Europe CTF game held on ZDaemon (2005; NA won 50-1 in flags) and has won or placed in various tournaments that have been held on ZDaemon and Skulltag.

In December 2006, Ralphis founded the International Doom League, a competitive private CTF league run on ZDaemon (independent of the ZDaemon administration). As of November 2009, the league is entering its seventh season. Ralphis has served as commissioner over the league for the entire duration of its existence, excepting a short month of absence in the Summer 2009 season. In the six seasons Ralphis has played in the league, he has won two divisional titles (W2008, W2009), two conference championsips (W2008, W2009), and a league championship (W2008). He is currently captain of the Super Chargers.

Mapping contributions
Ralphis has mapped for various projects, most notably the Unidoom DM series and the ZDaemon & Odamex CTF map packs. He served as project lead on all four UDM wads. In the early 2000s, Ralphis was infamous for starting high profile, anticipated projects and not completing them. These projects included Zeldoom, NesDoom, and DoomKart. Ralphis has also released a small amount of single player maps, one of which was for the ill-fated "Enigma" project.

Music
In addition to mapping efforts, Ralphis has created music for a variety of community projects. His most recent contributions were to Unidoom DM X and Urban Brawl: Action Doom 2.
