[CF List] player stuck

[Kimmo Hoikka]

Unfortunately it often happens that the mapmaker has left no obvious clues, so the
player will have to ask someone or look at the mapfile. That problem should always
be considered thoroughly when making and accepting new maps, however most of the
old maps are not all so good in that sense...

       Of course, that is not the proper solution for the player itself.

      is, so it at least provides some confidence to players that they can get out?
