Description             : mole doom episode 1:
                          this is a 9 level mapset for doom 1. it replaces
                          episode 1. there isn't really any plot aside from
                          the standard doom plot. it's got 8 maps and one
                          secret level. if you want a plot i'll make one up:
                          you play john ninmole. a scientist at the research
                          center on phobos. you were called in one morning on
                          your goddamn day off. something has gone wrong with
                          the teleporter again and it's your job to fix it.
                          this happened just recently, but when it did the
                          whole other moon disappeared. when you arrived to your
                          station everyone was dead. you quickly grabbed a
                          pistol off a dead security guard and prepared
                          yourself for the most stressful workday of your
                          life. and the worst part is you're not even
                          supposed to be here today!------------------
                          3 of these levels have partimes:
                          e1m3: 1:31
                          e1m5: 3:18
                          e1m9: 0:27
                          these par times were set by my friend stoogy.
                          unfortunately, he didn't get a chance to  play the
                          rest of the levels before release.
	
Additional Credits to   : ok, if you've read the readme for JNNhangar, you
                          know what's here:
                          during the creation of this mapset there have been
                          a few people which this wad would not exist without
                          or have just been super cool people, this time i'll
                          stick with the people who are related to the doom
                          community or have had an involvement in this
                          mapset in one shape or another. 
                          (every time you see "awesome", "welcoming"
                          or "encouraging" take a shot. but only if you are
                          of drinking age)
                          
                          first, i want to say thanks to my friend John (aka
                          WhamNinjaMolehill) you've seen this mapset pretty
                          much from the beginning and you've been extremely
                          helpful in the creation of this wad. on top of that
                          you're a very good friend. Map 5 "Sector WN" was
                          the second level I made in this mapset, which was
                          months after the first level I made for the mapset.
                          i made the level as a gift to you. I hope you enjoy
                          it. John makes fantastic let's plays and overviews
                          of mods for older fps games on his youtube channel.
                          i highly recommend it:

                          also, thank you to misfit and seriouscacodemon.
                          i've known you two just as long as i've known john.
                          you two have been good friends to me in that time.
                          you've both seen snippets of the levels here and
                          there, and been helpful to me in ways you won't
                          know. misfit makes an awesome mod for gzdoom called
                          aetherius (formerly deus vult: doom spell edition)

                          this one next one is gonna be a little bit of a
                          downer: i'd like to thank my ex (who shall remain
                          nameless) you gave me the best 6 months of my life so far.
                          i'm considering this mapset my attempt to focus on
                          something for a while so i can move on. all that's
                          left to say is thank you and i'm sorry things
                          didn't work out.
                          
                          ok, let's get back to the positivity:
                          I'd like to say thanks to Memfis for his review of
                          JNN hangar in the newstuff chronicles. It was a
                          really good read, and I'm gonna nicely say that I
                          disagree and JNN hangar is absolutely awful. I'd
                          also like you to know that on my hard drive is an
                          extended version of that readme which will never
                          see the light of day.
                          
                          thanks to bulldog and gouda. i've known you two for
                          a while. especially gouda, i've known him for 2 and
                          a half years. bulldog, you've been very welcoming
                          to me on mixer, even to a point of wanting to play
                          my maps
                          on stream and getting excited for my maps. gouda,
                          you have been my friend for 2 years and though
                          you've said you wanted to play my levels, i don't
                          know if you had. luckily i did send you a
                          pre-release version of the episode before work on
                          e1m1 started. you two have been super encouraging
                          to me during this project. thank you. bulldog and
                          gouda both stream to mixer. if you are curious,
                          their pages are here: mixer.com/bulldogmw and
                          mixer.com/gouda
                          
                          thanks to stoogy and shamblernaut. like bulldog and
                          john, stoogy has been playing my levels since the
                          beginning. his opinion on these levels have been
                          instrumental. he set the par times in 3 of my
                          levels. unfortunately, i cannot change the part
                          times in dehacked so the par times will be only in
                          this readme. shambler, you have yet to play my
                          levels but i've shown you most of the steps in the
                          way and you've been very encouraging of the work.
                          thanks to both of you. stoogy and shambler both
                          stream to twitch occasionally. stoogy and shambler
                          do speedruns of quake and shambler also does quake
                          mapping. you can check out their twitch streams at:
                          twitch.tv/stoogyau and twitch.tv/shamblernaut
                          
                          ok, 2 left. let's go:
                          
                          thank you to jp lebreton and the community around
                          his random wad wednesday streams. you guys are a
                          fantastic group of people and are always willing to
                          help with stuff. great people in that community,
                          eliot you're always positive. arjuna and others
                          helped give criticism on my map. fraggle, i'll never
                          forget the game i made based on your community presence, 
                          that's just a few but unfortunately this readme 
                          is already very long. 
                          jp, since i started watching your wad
                          wednesdays streams they've been very helpful for
                          learning to improve at mapping. you're very
                          constructive when you're talking about a level
                          you're playing, which is extremely educational for
                          someone like me trying to learn. and that has had
                          influence on this episode. JP does cool game design
                          and programming stuff for various games and even
                          made some amazing doom mods and a cool game design
                          tool called playscii. you can see some of it at
                          vectorpoem.com. also, a fellow from jp's discord
                          named a1337spy has asked me to include the phrase
                          "the ensurer watches over us all." i don't know
                          what that means, but there you go. 
                          
                          i'd also like to thank dyingcamel and his stream
                          community. i joined this community after i really
                          started this project and camel knew who i was. it
                          took us a bit, but he realized he played my map in
                          november thanks to memfis's newstuff chronicles
                          review. that'll always stand out to me. camel,
                          you're community has been awesome these past 2
                          months. and you've also been awesome. i hope you
                          enjoy this level set.
                          
                          thanks so much to all of you. there's a lot more
                          i'd wish to thank, but this readme is already too
                          long. but that's par for the course for my wads it
                          seems.
                          
                          finally, there is someone i want to thank in particular.
                          my grandfather. he probably won't see this but, 
                          here goes. gramps, you've been very encouraging of 
                          this project and you get really excited when i showed 
                          you these levels. you didn't get to see map 1,7 and 
                          8 before release but i'll be over for easter dinner. 
                          you've always been very influential in my life and very
                          supportive of me. thank you. you mean the world to me.
