PLAY INFORMATION:

Simple Overview: ===============================================
Work with a teammate to take control of the Arenas.  You and a 
teammate muststand on the touch pads SIMULTANEOUSLY in order to 
take control of an arena. The signs will change to indicate the
current controlling team.

Scoring is based on length of time arenas are held and their 
proximity to your fortress. The arenas must be taken in order
moving away from your fortress.  Your enemy is moving in the
opposite direction. If you lose control of an arena to the enemy,
you must back up and take it back in order to continue.Once you
control all three arenas, make a final assault into the enemy
fortress. One person must step on the pad marked "SCRUM!" inside
the enemy fortress. This will give your team a bunch of points,
reset all arenas and respawn both teams.

Gameplay Notes: ================================================
The only way to stop a SCRUM! Assault is to take back your arena.
The enemy must control all three arenas to SCRUM, so it follows
that by taking one back, they can not SCRUM!

Falling into the ravines does not hurt, it teleports you back to
your base. Use it as a quick way to fall back to SCRUM! defense.

Respawning after SCRUM! and falling into the ravines does NOT result
in deaths. I have received a lot of complaints that "Random PC's"
do not change.  Since you are not dying, you do not change classes.

The pool in front of the fortress can only be exited by swimming to
the arena side (away from the fortress) or swimming into the tube
under the bridge.

There is health and resupplies available inside of each respawn room.
The resupplies are arranged for a quick exit.  It is only necessary
to run over a single line of resupply items to get COMPLETELY loaded
up (excepting health). You DO NOT have to run around in circles. It
was designed this way to help get people out of the respawn room
quickly after a SCRUM! or other occurence. 

Extra supplies are available in the arenas but only for the team that
currently controls that arena, and only in limited amounts. There is 
some health hidden in a few places around the level.

The center teleportals take you back to your own fortress. The 
teleportal in your fortress takes you to the center, but ONLY if your
team is currently in control of the center. The teleportals in the
bottom of the ravine take you back to your own fortress.

Scoring Details: ===============================================
There are two fortresses and 3 arenas.  
The arenas are named Red, Centerand Blue -- Corresponding to the 
fortress closest to them. When you step on a pad in an arena, you
and your teammates will get an audio cue requesting help in that arena.
There are signs which should help guide everyone to the appropriate
places. This is the best I could do for those who don't bother to read
this file. Your teammate must step on the opposite pad in the same
arena for your team to take control of that arena.  Points are based
on the length of time your team controls the arena and the arena's 
proximity to your fortress.

The Team Point system works like this:

Nearest Arena:
Hold the nearest arena to score 2 points per minute (1 every 30 seconds)

Center Arena:
Hold the center arena to score 3 points per minute (1 every 20 seconds)
Take the center arena away from enemy control to score 1 bonus point

Enemy Arena:
Hold the enemy arena to score 4 points per minute (1 every 15 seconds)
Take the enemy arena away from enemy control to score 2 bonus points

Enemy Fortress:
SCRUM! scores 20 points, resets the arenas and respawns both teams

THANKS TO:The PC Gamers Society:  http://www.pcgs.org
I get all of my map making inspiration from them. They are also the most
willing PlayTesters I've ever had the honor of working with.

My wife and son for their patience as I abandon them for map making.

Chris "Stinger" Hansen for his patience when I just wanted to talk and
bounce ideas off of him.  "You're the greatest, man!"

David "Tolwyn" Shaw for his expertise in all things audio and for all of
his feedback.

Pam Magnuson for her amazing voice talents.

Valve for their wonderful game Half-Life and Team Fortress Classic.

Borg and Radium for their feedback on earlier projects. The objective 
feedback I received from them has always been a great help in guiding
and building my skills in future projects.

I just hope I actually am improving.
