Free interpretation     : Added MAP13 to base

Additions to the base   : 			(13H) (16H) (26M)

Comments                : 
			  Whew. That was intense.  Now when playing normal 
			  UV everything is in slow motion.

			  In one of the amendments to the rules, Frank
			  mentions that it is now possible for one 
			  entry to add three levels to the base.  I 
			  figured that was a decent goal so that is what
			  I have done here.  Sorry Frank, I hope I didn't
			  give you too much extra work.


			  Map 32 This one has been played so many times
			    and so many ways, there was no way I could 
			    do anything unique, nor improve on all the good
			    recordings out there.  So I substituted this
			    level with an out of base level.

			  Map 31 Should be listed as easy.

			  Map 15 This was fun, but at almost 40 mins, 
			     it got way too long.  

			  Map 13 I did this in D2M and knew it pretty well
			     so I picked it for my Free Interp to add it to 
			     the base. (It is also in group Hardest in 
			     D2M) Definately a lot nastier on -fast.

			  Map 16 I guess this one is my required out of 
			     base addition.  This level was downright
			     hard on -fast.  This one was probably the 
			     hardest of the levels I completed.  Actually 
			     the first 5 minutes are murder, after you get
			     a little control over the situation, then 
			     it runs very smoothly.  The authentication
			     dance is in the Revenant room. 

			  Map 26 This is the substituted level for Map 32,
			     as per section 6.6.2  The Appeal Mechanism
			     for Advanced Titles.  Compared to all the other 
			     levels (cept 31) this was by far the easiest. 

Author info             : 
			  It was back when playing the shareware Doom and
			  I caught myself leaning forward to look around
			  the window to snipe on E1M7 that I realized
			  how unique this game was. I have loved this
			  game ever since.  I have finished Heretic, 
			  Dark Forces and almost finished Marathon, and
			  in my opinion Doom is unquestionably the best.
			  The atmosphere, the personality and detail of the
			  monsters, the completeness of features and quality 
			  that went into doom are unsurpased.  This is 
			  to say nothing bad about the others either.  I 
			  thoroughly enjoyed Dark Forces and Heretic as well.
			  So bring on Quake!

			  Oh, and this is to ID.  For Quake, PLEASE allow
			  us to reasign the 'q' key when recording demos.
			  I have screwed up so many good recordings by 
			  accidentally hitting that key.

			  While I waited for my challenge, I filled my time
			  by recording lmps played by D2M rules.  You can
			  see all the levels of Doom 2 completed  >= 100% 
			  kills at  http://www.spyglass.com/~dpgerdes/doom/   
			  As of this writing I have not completed two levels.  
			  I will get back to them after I complete my D2GM 
			  title.
