Misc. Author Info       : CRAZY TASTY!
			 
Description             : Important Note: This is mainly a mapping and gameplay
				 test.
			  If it fails, back to the drawing board I say.
			 If people love it, I'll make more similar to this.

			  My maps are watermarked in some way, from the Lightning
			 bolt, the I column, my Demon logo, all the way to a sector
			 spelling out INFURNUS :P

			  Proper Map Inspiration Credits in Random Order:
			 -The Alpha Dog Alliance for Strain, if it wasn't for them
			 I wouldn't be here, niether would my maps :P
			 -Q3DM1, or the infamous 'Quake Gate' :)
			 -Scragadelic, for his Q3DM1 map that made me want to.. eh...
			 I shouldn't even go there... o_O
			 -Derek 'Afterglow' Mac Donald
			 (http://doomworld.com/afterglow) for inspiration from his
			 DM masterpieces, including the Darkening 2 Q3DM1 Gate :P
			 -Nemesis, for his mod, "Fallen Angels", yes, the same mod
			 used in massmouth 2 for the battles with Linguica :P
			 -Doom64 and Absolution. Just look at map14 :P

			All the maps except for 1 and 2 are going to be reworked!
			While you wait, why don't you check out Lightning Oldschool?

			 A few other suitable names for this wad would be:
			 Cramped DM, Railgun DM, Quake3 Arena DM, BARELY ANY BFG DM,
			 STUPIDLY FAST DM, BOT DM... you get the picture :P

			This project(Lightning Deathmatch) is still in the works,
			so suggest what you want! gamemasta@att.net

			 Tell me what you think...

Additional Credits to   : Id. Software for all their work.
			   ScullTag maps for a little inspiration.
			  The people of #ZDaemon on irc.freenode.net,
			   with no help from the people of #ZDoom...
			   But boris_ of #Skulltag was some help, thank's boris_! :)
			   If you like jump pads, you'll thank boris_.
