Description             : This DeathMatch wad is small and fast
                          paced, leading to very high frag counts.
                          It has a building in a large circular
                          yard; also a very unusual wall around the
                          yard. The center of the building also
                          contains a circular court yard.

                          The Double-barrel shotgun is close to
                          all starting points; all higher weapons
                          are hard to find, (but all weapons are
                          available depending on the level of
                          difficulty chosen). There is easy
                          access to all ammo by using the
                          teleporters. The backpack is also hard
                          to find, but available on all difficulty
                          settings.
                          
                          The exit is a co-op type exit. There are
                          two hidden switches that require each
                          player to push in succession, which will
                          open the passage to the exit room, located
                          on the second floor North East room. The
                          first switch is on the second floor South
                          balcony and the second switch is by the 
                          doorway leading in to the second floor
                          North balcony.

=============================================================================

This is my challange to everyone on the Internet
and anyone else who reads this text file.-----

 In order to promote better wad files,-

(ever downloaded one that just don't work at all, or runs
so slow it's like playing in peanut butter, or it has so
many missaligned textures, or worst yet, the same texture
through-out the wad,.... that it makes you want to puke!)

I offer the following:

(Not a new idea; I've heard of others doing the same.)

1. Use this wad as a base to build your own wad, (I
   encourage you to to so; Don't even ask me!; just
   change it, - anyway you want. Distribute it any-
   where and everywhere, and in any format you want,
   for profit or for free!. And also, I challange all
   other wad authors to do the same!, (after all,
   the majority of us don,t get paid for making wads
   anyway!; so not letting anyone use your wad as a
   base, is really just an ego trip;---Isn't it? !!!).
   ...............Too Bad--So Sad!!..................
   At least beginners would have a good place to start;
   then mabe we won't have to wade through as many bad
   wads, to find the good ones! This concept should
   eventually make all the wads offered, on the Net,
   better.

2. After you have completed your new wad, (using mine
   as a base), put your name on it, take full credit
   for it! -You don't need to mention my name anywhere,
   (but I would be happy if you did so, in your text
   file; but it's not manditory!). Just remember, your
   new wad will have YOUR NAME on it, so just make sure
   its better than mine!, or else what's the point!!!!!

3. If you want different weapons placement or different
   monsters, in different places, I would encourage you
   to download ED209, (probably the easiest wad editor
   to use, to change, weapons, monsters and textures).
   (You can do most of the weapons and monster changes
   in less than 5 minutes!). - If you noticed, I also
   used a program called Zennode. Zennode is not needed
   to build or change wads, it just helps to speed up
   the wad a little. --- All of these fine programs are
   available, as Shareware, many places on the Net.

4. If your wad has any bugs, even just a small one,
   that's hard to find, even if your looking for a
   mistake, then, don't put it on the Net!. Fix it
   first, or get some help to fix it, or delete it!!!.
   People can forgive you for making boring wads once
   in a while, but not defective, ugly, trash. (I go
   over my wads in great detail before releasing them;
   we also play test em for weeks, sometimes months,
   working on the layout, weapons and monsters, ect.
   
   I would be totally ashamed of some of the garbage
   that's on the Net, if my name was attached to it.
   
   You have to be a perfectionist, to produce even
   a boring wad that works good, without bugs; even
   a bad wad takes a little time and effort to make,
   so why go to all the time and trouble...........
   to produce garbage!!!!
