       Pacifist is not my favorite playing style, it seems contrary to
       the whole design of the game.  I'm non-violent in real life,
       but when a mob of angry beasts are hammering mercilessly at me
       I want to beat the living s**t out of them (as in my free interp)!
       I did start having fun while recording 14, what a wild route!

       Since all of my assigned levels are "instant carnage", I chose
       (per D2P6 rules) not to do my dance in any of them.  The only
       lmp here which contains my dance is the free interpretation.

MAP20: This one I even figured out on my own!  Time - 1:23.

MAP25: Ugh!  I couldn't see how to survive this one until I saw an lmp
       of it.  Anthe's run past the barrels is real slick, but
       considerably harder than it looks.  I practiced this jump
       with -nomonsters until my odds were about 1 in 5, then started
       recording.

       I found out quick the sargeants were messing up the way I had the
       jump lined up, so I backed off to see if they would move out of
       the way.  Suddenly I heard the barrels exploding, this I knew
       was a rare event (triggered by the Pain Elemental)!  It made
       the level much easier as getting to that megasphere is the crux.
       Funny part is the final lift, where I am celebrating having made
       this one, when a lost soul ambushes me and jams the lift ...
       I'm dead.  Or so I thought, I escape at 1% health and limp over
       to the exit ... whew!!  Time - 1:45.

MAP14: I would have thought this flat out impossible, and it probably
       is via the "normal" route.  Istvan's lmp of this level is
       brilliant, and I pretty much follow his route exactly.  The
       most frustrating spot was always the chaingunner after the
       blue key.  If he started firing at me I never survived his
       wrath.  The ending goes very well for me - all the chaingunners
       get killed by imps, leaving me with plenty of health to attempt
       the final jump many times.  With minimum health 51%, this lmp
       makes the level look simple, but it took many attempts, 2:12.

FREE:  No more Mr. Nice Guy...  I have never seen a NightMare lmp of 15
       to the normal exit, so I wanted to give it a try.  Problem is
       there is one long section (from after the blue key to the Berserk
       pack) with tons of monsters and no health.  I spend the whole
       start of the lmp preparing for this gauntlet, which I almost never
       survive.  The final building requires extreme care and luck with
       the chaingunners, I had to practice it many times to figure out
       how to survive.

       A great lmp, I think.  But not very pacifist!  Time - 5:44.

Author Among DH5 and DH6 collectively, I now have all six DOOM2 titles,
Notes: with D2I and D2Y done twice.  I don't wanna do Tyson again!

Thanks Istvan Pataki and Anthe Kren for figuring out how to do 14
   To: and 25 pacifist.  Richard Sham for tips and moral support
       in completing these two levels!
