                        try as I might, I was not able to find this person.  I've enhanced 
                        the map as detailed in the description.  If I ever do find the

Map Description:
	
	A Heretic II Blade map.  It seems as though the once "horrid" blade FFA has
	become quite popular (I seem to have been hooked as well).  One thing I noticed
	about this was the fact that since almost all blade maps were made for dueling,
	they didn't really work quite right for FFA.  I then remembered a map from the
	blade early days called biga (Big Arena).  Why desn't anyone use this?  Well, 
	the first reason I could see was the fact that it had improperly mapped shrines
	and no health.

	So what I did to this map was:
		fix the shrines
		took the fire pots out, since flames tend to really mess this your r_speeds.
		added some health vials
		some mood lighting
		and then... on a whim... I added what Purg calls the Go-Go cages.

	What the cages were planned to be were a safe haven from llamas.  There is a
	cage for each respective player.  Need a break?  Llamas on the loose?
	"TO THE CAGES I SAY!"  Climb in, hit the button and your safe from the swinging
	blades.
