                       THEME DESIGN CONTEST
                            by Nahand

          **************************************************

            The purpose of the Theme Design Contest (TDC)
           was to entice fellow mappers to create a map
           whose theme was nicely developed and/or new,
           something that hadn't been seen until then, or
           to pull out a known theme in a diferent, fresh
           manner, for Unreal Tournament.

            To make way for mappers without loosing time
           with a map layout draw, and to keep things at
           a balanced start, TDC was based on a given BSP
           layout before hand available to the participants.
            This way, the map authors could focus more in
           theme development.

            The base BSP sample is handled with this pack
           as well, in case anyone else wants to check it
           out, and even start his/her own map based on it.
            If that is the case, please do not forget to
           give credit to the layout creator (me, Nahand).

            Although the layout is designed towards DeathMatch,
           it was allowed to enter TDC with a map for any of
           the default Unreal Tournament gametypes.

          **************************************************

            The "contest" started on day 1 of February, 2006,
           and ended day 17th of March 2006, although it was
           innitially previewed to last only for February.
            On top of that, some maps needed some final
           touches, and so the release of this pack was pushed
           further a week or two, but the pack was released
           finally on the first days of April 2006 :p ...

            There was a huge interest in TDC from several mappers
           in the UT community, but for one reason or other,
           just a little more than a handfull of participants
           actually managed to enter a map, or even 2, plus i
           made a small DM map myself :).
