Description:	Needless to say, this is my first level. I think I did a pretty good job but if I were able to force myself to look at the DEU screen again and make another level it would be way better. The best thing about my level is that the secrets aren't all composed of hidden doors who's textures have been cleverly alligned. To get acess to my secret areas you'll have to use your brain, which most DOOMers enjoy. And at no point will you need to find a hidden door to complete the level. Any moron can go around a whole level pushed up against a wall pressing the spacebar rapidly. My level is also very straight forward. You won't have much choice to where you go, the level will direct you through itself. I have put in an area map early in the game because they are cool. Some areas though are hidden so it doesn't give the whole level away. This level is ment to be played on ultraviolent, save often or don't save at all, whichever you prefer. Try to get 100% items, secrets and kills, I've made two of those kills perticularly tricky (Use you brains not your guns).
Credits:	The masterminds behind Doom, the creators of DEU, and J.P. Grossman, older brother, who got the doom editor, and learned how to use it with me.
Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	Way too long, over 200 hrs. About eight months.
Editor(s) used:	DEU 5.2, Win Deu 32 Version 5.24
Bugs:	Some cielings are too high so the screen gets fuzy when standing in precise locations. This wont be noticed unless you try to notice it.

Anonymous	This is almost ten years old to the day. It angered me. It starts off with a very small dark maze which is easy enough to navigate, but unentertaining; then there's a floor-raising puzzle that goes on and on. And on. It kills the level. You have to go up and down on a sloooooow lift, flicking switches on the way up, and on the way down, and on the way up again, and on the way down again. It takes ages. Fuck it. Life's too short.	x

Misc. Author Info       : From Vancouver now living in Toronto, I was first
                          exposed to DOOM three years ago.  I got DEU 5  
                          months ago and started working on MAYHEM right away.
Description             : Needless to say, this is my first level.  I think           
                          I did a pretty good job but if I were able to force

Story Line              : Something about Hell taking over the world and you
                          being human's last hope.  You can probably make    
                          something up yourself which will make the level more
                          interesting for you.  But if your not that creative:
                          "We have found a prison on earth which is holding 
                          thousands of humans.  We also suspect that there are
                          plenty of weapons, armour, and other goodies.  This 
                          prison is only protected by a minimal number of Hell 
                          Monsters.  Unfortunately, the prison is secureley
                          locked by three different keys.  We have also found
                          where they are holding the keys.  It is in a area of
                          the planet Urix 9.  This area is protected by a very 
                          large number of Hell Monsters and booby traps.  We 
                          have already sent four commandos who have all failed
                          We are going transport you there - get the three 
                          keys and we will have a transport prepared to bring
                          you back.  You must not fail, you are our last 
                          hope."
