Signitures

Deathmatch levels do not, in general, contain secrets. However, as it is good practice for artists to sign their work, all my levels contain a hidden signiture room. To avoid affecting gameplay, and so I don't keep sticking my name in players' faces, these room are only accessible in single player mode.

Distribution

You may distribute this level on any format, to anyone else. You can burn it onto a CD and give it to your mum for all I care :)
There are just two stipulations -

1. The level must reamin unaltered.
2. This text file must be included, also unaltered.
