Terry

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 doomers have described him as "one of the worst wad authors in existence".

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.

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 /idgames/, enacted a new list of policies for uploaded files. As a result, the most destructive of the maps were removed until zip bombs were removed, and all maps relocated to /themes/terrywads/.
