Description:	This WAD was made for practice. It's my first so it's not very elaborate. Just gettin' mah feet wet, you might say. It was made for use in a deathmatch, or maybe alt-deathmatch since it's so small. There's a decent number of bad guys to give you something to do when your buddy's hiding out somewhere. The exit is hidden because people I play with often like to make a bee-line for the switch (usually accidentally, but annoying all the same). The exit switch is the only switch in the level, and isn't marked as an exit.
Credits:	Kathy "Monkey Jo" Setzer, playtesting and ego- stroking; Tim "I'm Going To Bed" Boyer, playtesting, offering himself as frag-bait repeatedly. Ben Morris for releasing DCK 2.2 as FREEWARE! Watch for his HexenCK coming soon.
Base:	Built from scratch
Build time:	About 50 hours (rough total for both)
Editor(s) used:	DCK 2.2
Bugs:	See below for itemized list. :)

Because RUMPUS is actually two WADs combined, what follows is probably
more information than you care to read. The first section is a general
overview of the entire WAD, followed by map-specific specs.

Brief Description       :  A combination of two WADs, set up for some

Additional Blather      :  This WAD was built on a 386/16 with DCK 2.2 (the
                          coolest editor I've found). Single player mode was
                          tested minimally on the PC. Most testing, including
                          network play, was done using Power Macs. For
                          network play, a Power Mac 7500/100 and a Power Mac
                          8500/110 were used (no PC network testing was done,
                          so there may be hideous glitches I'm unaware of).

Brief Description       :  The name is the "working name" I was using
                            before I decided to merge this map with
                            another one. It refers to the first room, which
                            didn't turn out exactly the way I had originally
                            planned, but is pretty close. This map happens
                            to be the second one I've completed.

Known Bugs              :  A few weird things that seem to be related to
                            "sound proof" walls (rocket blasts don't hurt
                            you when you're near one of these walls). A
                            few minor texture things that I got tired of
                            trying to fix.

--------------------
Long-Ass Description    :  RUMPUS is a WAD made up of two of my own levels,
                            designed primarily for deathmatch (isn't
                            everything?). The first map is a small and
                            fast primer for things to come. Incidentally, it
                            was also my first WAD ever. It was released
                            locally for fellow DOOM-heads before being
                            incorporated into RUMPUS.
                           Based loosely on a concept, RUMPUS was designed
                            to offer some kind of challenge in single
                            player mode, and lots of fun in deathmatch
                            mode. Single player mode makes use of keys
                            and other obstacles. Deathmatch offers several
                            "game rooms" for bloody showdowns; rooms like
                            The Meat Grinder, The Washing Machine, The
                            Stomach, and other interesting places (if I do
                            say so myself) lend themselves well to meeting
                            and fragging. On the other hand, hide and seek
                            is always allowed. :)
                           The exit in this WAD is deliberately difficult.
                            I found my attempt to slow my opponent's quick
                            exit wasn't as effective in POOP-1.WAD as I had
                            hoped it would be, so I increased the number
                            (and size) of the obstacles.
