Description             : Ten maps made in the month of May, with maps in 
                          between to provide a hub framework. The theme for 
                          this year was Quake (given that the MAYhem ten
                          years prior was also Quake-themed), with mappers 
                          being tasked to implement various pieces of 
                          functionality to make their maps feels as 
                          authentically Quake-like as possible.

* Note *

The map numbers given below do not correspond to the numbers present in 
the wad itself: MAP01-MAP04 are hub maps, MAP05-MAP11 contains the main
episode, MAP12 and MAP13 are the secret maps and MAP14 is the finale. The
naming conventions used during gameplay are for presentation purposes to
give the impression of a working HUD in DSDA-Doom.
