| − | In the [[Bombinomicon (comic)|Bombinomicon comic]], when the RED [[Demoman]] was seven years old, he discovered Merasmus' castle in the Highlands while seeking work. Merasmus told the Demoman to sweep the library of his castle, but told him not to look at a certain book. Ultimately, the Demoman lost his left eye to the Bombonomicon, and Merasmus was forced to remove it lest the Bombonomicon would haunt the eye forever. Years later, the magician's tumultuous relationship with the RED Soldier was revealed, and he summoned [[MONOCULUS]] (the haunted eye) for the RED team to fight.

Map name prefixes
Some achievement maps provide areas set off or protected for various specific activities, such as heavy-only boxing areas, soccer fields, pyro tennis courts, private achievement rooms, and surf ramps. Some achievement maps also have mechanisms set up to facilitate specific achievements, some with player controls.
AFK idlers are often spawned into an automated conveyor device where they may be targeted by active players seeking achievements or grind out strange levels. Sometimes Bots are spawned into this mechanism as well, but the presence of idling players support achievements that specifically require players as targets eg
Besides achievement grinding and strange leveling, various types of activities often occur. Achievement map servers usually encourage trading. Because the standard same mode of the map is usually suppressed, combat is usually "free fire"; however, it is also not uncommon for opposing players to just hang out with each other, chat, assist each other with achievements, show off, or attempt stunts.

Game Wiki Editor's Prayer
As I sit to type, I utter this self-admonishing prayer: Very, very few edits to this wiki feed, clothe, or comfort anyone or anything except egos. I pray to minimize my self-absorption and sloth and that I not compound my sins with jealousy and or anger over such petty concerns as games.
Loving games is easy, even thieves, murders, and haters love games. How much more glorious is it to love something that does not give such immediate, easy pleasure
