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
interesting deathmatch or single player games.
(See Long-Ass Description for more).
Additional Credits to : 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.

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).

Title : Poop
Filename : POOP-1.ZIP
Author : Scott Talkington
Email Address : stalking@mail.coin.missouri.edu
Misc. Author Info : Is nutty about lemurs
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.

Misc. Author Info : Has a big white X on the top of his car
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.

* Construction *
Base : Built from scratch
Editor(s) used : DCK 2.2
Build Time : About 40 hours
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.
