I'm known for making lengthy documentation regarding my maps, most of
which were devoted to a girl named Kristine I met via TFC in 2001.  We
dated for two and a half years before breaking it off.

I retroactively re-dedicate all of my maps to the great game itself--TFC--
and I won't waste your time with useless info.  This readme is for the
mapping community, or what's left of it.

Known Glitches:
It became an issue in my earlier escape map k_thegame2_r where players
would spawn in either deactivated (earlier) or disabled (future) spawn
points rather than where they're meant to spawn.  This hasn't been an
issue with my beta testers, so I hope it's not an issue with you.

If any major glitches or errors pop up that require a revision and map
re-release, e-mail me at vhoskins@hotmail.com.

Thanks:
- StoneFrog for invaluable mapping assistance and other advice, and for
the sacrifices he made to help me get this map to completion, and for
the North Wing sign textures.
- My beta testers StoneFrog, 3vil-Go0fy, hughy, t3h1337idiot, Foxtrot,
Dougie, prato, pepsi, Maxtecno3, Starlight, Wings and everyone who showed
up for the initial [FM] beta tests for their time, feedback and patience.
- My girlfriend Amy Blue for customizing some textures and for emotional
support in times of mapper's block and self-doubt.
- The makers and contributors of Natural Selection and Sven Coop
because I stole a few of your custom files without asking.  But
I assume we're one big sharing community, so don't get sore.
- The Whole Half-Life website for timeless advice and archiving information.
- Valve I guess for letting TFC die in favor of that abomination
you call a sequel to one of the greatest games ever made.
- Uwe Boll for keeping the fuck away from the Half-Life franchise.

Other maps by the author:
This is my first map in almost five years so I'll divide my "other
maps" into two categories.  Either way, you can find them all on
JMCs TF Map Zone.  Get them before that site dies... we're lucky
it still exists after so many years of inactivity.

Incompetent:
jumperz, jumperx, jumperctf, driver_tfc, suicidals (guess what mood I
was in when I made this crapfest), thegame, k_sniperwar

Semi-competent:
k_concmap, k_thegame, k_soldier, k_hostile, k_thegame2_r

Copyright Business:

I really don't care what you do with the map or the files so long
as you don't repackage anything and call it your own work.  Basically, keep
all the files together and keep this information intact.  Decompile if you
want and use my ideas if you must, but try to give a guy credits as if it
mattered to future generations.  Because maybe it will.
