Sorry for my bad English, but what it means?
the name of a person on the scores list for this map. And the author
There is an excess negative in that confusing sentence. Substitute 'would'. This is an interesting case, and you are approaching fluency if you can read it and understand.

I though I spoke English reasonably fluently, and I'm mystified myself.
I suspect it's an American idiom.

To be clearer:
If everyone liked the same thing, then [there would be only that] one thing.
My dialect is relatively close, geographically, to yours, Cavemaniac. However, I am inclined toward parenthetical, segmented statements; making my communication prone to multiple negatives. Not, however, to the point of accidentally causing a war with it...
Quote"... The circumstances here [...] are so extreme that we cannot believe but that you would not fail to come to our aid..."
Language is interesting, but English is prone to contradictory definitions ("literally" now has an alternate definition: "figuratively").
I frequently have to retype on this forum to remove a multi-level nested "lift-out" which employs commas, and that only because parentheses are ugly in text.
Another example:

It folded back on itself like something that Maurits C. Escher, had he been given to hard nights on the town, which is no part of this narrative's purpose to suggest was the case, though it is sometimes hard, looking at his pictures, particularly the one with the awkward steps, not to wonder, might have dreamed up after having been on one, for the little chandeliers which should have been hanging inside were on the outside pointing up.
Well done if you recognise the source.
I am sure Doug is well pleased that he is remembered.

I miss Doug.
The Salmon of Doubt contained a few chapters of what would have been the third Dirk Gently novel.
Nice taste.
I haven't found the first two yet. The Guide was good as far as he wrote it, though.
I suppose that this would be a corner of the Internet which would be better than background for this recognition.

Oh man.
What a choice of words - 'I suppose that this would be a corner of the Internet'.
Have you seen this? (http://kotaku.com/the-secret-douglas-adams-rpg-people-have-been-playing-f-1681986562)
It's quite a long article, but if you're interested, it's well worth a read - if you want to cut to the chase,skip ahead to just below the picture of a bald headed man (!) about a third of the way down...

I hadn't encountered that, but having read the article, it looks almost as if it could evolve a friend here, with a little fertiliser added...
