Here is a picture of the results screen of Duke Nukem 3D:

Description of the Results Screen
1. PLAYER NUMBER: This is the player’s number. All you have to do is match up the number next to your name and above your name and that indicates who you are.
2. SUICIDES: It’s pretty self-explanatory! The yellow number next to your name (Or in cases of 4-8 player games, you should find your yellow number down the line a little more) indicates how many kills you have on yourself! Which briefly explains #3 on this list.
3. KILLS EARNED ON PLAYER: Look down your row. Do you see different numbers? All you have to do is look up and find out what player you are looking at. So in this example, player 1 has killed player 2, eight times. While player 2 has killed player 1, only once. Player 2 also killed himself once which shows up as “1” underneath his number. It’s pretty simple to understand.
4. TOTAL KILLS: This is also pretty self-explanatory! It’s just the total amount of kills you have. Nothing more to it. Now go on and read the rest of the guide.
5. TOTAL DEATHS: Now this may SEEM self-explanatory, but there is more to it. In technicality, you are right. This is simple! But then again, look at the amount of kills that player 2 got on player 1. He was able to kill him once, but for total kills, he has zero. Notice the suicide? It’s simple math here people. You don’t need to know sines, cosines or tangents to know about this little word problem. Ok let’s work that one out together:
“Johnny has 1 kill on Tom. Johnny commits suicide, resulting in a loss of 1 kill. How many kills does Johnny have?” Well let’s do the math:
1
1-
0
Wow, you must feel 10 times smarter! You just did some Kindergarten-level math right there! You know what? You deserve a cookie. Tell you what, go to the store, find the cookie isle, and stack your cart FULL of cookies, cookie dough, cookie substitutes, cookie laxatives, cookie EVERYTHING! Buy all of that stuff. (Don’t worry if the cashier gives you a strange look when you throw cookie laxatives up there. Just keep on walking.) Once you’re home, stuff your big fat face with all of those cookie products! Just stuff your mouth full of it! Don’t even chew, just swallow it whole! Now you probably have either salmonella or type 2 diabetes, but hey, at least you solved that math problem and were able to enjoy those cookie laxatives. You’ll be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for days!
OH LORD, anyway, That’s all you do. Add together your total kills, subtract it by whatever the number is in yellow, and you got your answer.
Well, that is the best way to understand it, so if you need any further help, feel free to add me and message me and I’ll do my best to explain it to you. Good luck and have fun with your cookie fetish!
