Map 8  This is not a level       Fragrate: 0.0 Frags/min

This is not a deathmatch level. Either stand still and listen to the
        nice music or take a step forward and move on to The Hub.

Level 9.  The Hub		Fragrate: 1.05 frags/min

The hub of the level is nearly unavoidable, but for 
	the best stuff you have to go the farthest from it.

			1 group  of 20

Things to look out for:
	Do you enjoy spending time in those long, dark, hallways that bypass
           the Hub?? Well, YOU SHOULDN'T!!! The Hub is an important part of the
           level both for getting health and armor and for making it a more
           enjoyable high-frag level.
	The best weapons tend to be farther from the Hub
	Check out the lake. For once open sectors help more than they harm
           Doom II mapmakers.
	Exit Sign on a pole
	You could easily get lost inside the hub.  The Lamps are there to help
           you orient yourself.
