* Level info *
	This level was inspired by those ridiculous 'pro' wrestling
shows.  There are two raised platforms in the center, each with four 
starting locations.  The center of each is cut out but is provided
with a lift back up.
	Due to typical bureacratic handling the matter transmitters
that send the players into the arenas have been (very) badly main-
tained.  They've been know to send people into the cheap seating
along the outer edge, the VIP balcony seats, the catwalks, even into 
midair dropping players to their deaths below.
	Because of the massive influx of blood and gibs into the waters
that lay beneath the entire complex, two large drain pipes have been
installed which suck the water up to be cleaned.  Players have been
known to ride the currents up these and use the top of them to 
blaze down upon both viewers and particpants below.
	Also there have been reports of rifts in the time space
etc, alongside the fighting platforms but these have as yet been 
unconfirmed.
	All weapons are available but in very short supply.  I 
personally don't like rocket fests.  But if you do then by all means
put them in.  I just happen to like shotgun battles.
	The powerups have also been incorporated, two in pretty
easily found hiding spots.  The third, the Quake power, is a little
better hid.  (echo sounders seem to have detected a anomoly in one
of the posts supporting the platforms.)
	The girl behind the steel vault door is of course my fiance.
What better place for such a treasure than behind 16 inches of solid
steel.
	
Other Notes:
	The level can be jittery on a low end pentium and that's simply
because of its wide open spaces.  Nothing to do but upgrade I'm afraid.
If you have the patience you can try to run a full VIS on it but as I
said above, I got tired of waiting after 18 hours and killed it.
Knowing what I do about the way such things work, I can't imagine
it helping much.  The vast majority of the points in this level can
see each other.
	I usually run DM with a altered QuakeC although the level
is emminately playable straight.  I've implemented falling damage
and two of the starting points will and do lead to death upon striking
the ground.  Its a VERY funny sight to see a player hurtling past you
and gib on the ground below.  Verra nice.
	I also limit grenades to a max of ten although with the sparcity
of them in the level its not that big a problem.
	Also I generally have computer "bots" playing alongside the
people.  Most of that code stolen from the various 'bots' that you
can find at cdrom.com.
