Ahh...dear searcher...you have chosen to enter my challenge.

Okay...this is fairly simple:

For the heck of it, I have placed many secret messages throughout the level.
I ask you to find them all. But I know that will be difficult, even for the die-hard
searcher. So I have divided the messages into 2 groups: Primary and Secondary.

*************************
What do I gotta do?
*************************

Find all the primary messages. Sound easy? That's what I want ya to think.
You've all probably found a few messages in the game, when all ya gotta
do is use your goggles and you'd see em. That was in the game. This isn't the
game. You'll have to use yer mind to find em. Alot of them are not in goggle viewing
mode. They maybe be transparent, or similar to the textures around it. I won't tell you here.

There are also secondary messages. I'll explain those later.

******************
Are there any rules?
*******************

Yes, in fact. When you send me an email at chris_biberstein@mailexcite.com, the subject
must be CASTLE SECRET MESSAGES. Also, you must give a general location of each message.
(Don't worry, I'll be extremely generous on location descriptions. One man's 'pit' would be
anothers 'sewer'.)
I did this to A) promote exploring, and B) Keeps the player from just looking up the messages
in Editart. Most of the messages are in sprite format. But not all. BEWARE OF THIS!!

******************
What do I win?
******************

How did I know you guys where gonna ask me that? ;-)
Well, this is what you win when you get all the primary messages:

	The admiration of me (Trust me, not many people get that.),
*	A picture of you in my next level,
*	A little sign with your name, nickname, email, web site, and any 1 thing you choose,
*	A copy of a new level I will create.
*	A text file that explains what each primary message means

When you get only the secondary messages:

* 	Admiration of me
*	Your name and email in the level
*	No picture.
*	A text file that explains what each secondary message means

When you get both primary and secondary messages:

*	Admiration of me
*	A free copy of every level I create
*	A picture of you in my next level
*	A BIG sign within your name, nickname, email, website, any 1 thing, the choice
	of what weapons lay around your picture, and the choice of what Duke says when he 
	approaches your face.
*	A text file that explains what each primary and secondary message means
*	Your entrance into the AOD (Allies of Draconis)
	(This is just a list of people that I am allies with in one way or another.)

See? I hope I made this offer tempting.

Some other stuff

<><><><><><><><><>
What I'll send you
><><><><><><><><><

When you win in any way, I'll send you a simple email telling you that you won.
It'll inform you to read this file again to see what you need to send me.

If you lose, there will be a small file saying you didn't win, and please try again.

When I get many messages that are wrong in a day, I'll just not send you anything. So, when
you don't get an email within, say, 5 days, you can be assured you didn't win.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Number of chances.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

You really have infinite chances, untill you've sent me alot a messages, then I'll just
ignore your request.

I close the contest when I begining to create the sectors of the winners. If you send me an email
after this date, I'll think about it. It'll depend on what winners section I'm building at that
time.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Incorrect responses
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Well, I'll allow misspellings. Hey, I'm a nice guy, I can't help it.
A few words off, well, it depends on how off you are.
A whole chunk off, then I'll just say no.

Preferences
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

When you win, don't flood me with messages saying what you want. Ah, what the heck,
flood me. When you win, you'll get a picture of your face/area, and you reply 
telling me what you think, and any ideas you wish. 
You should know that I may not use your ideas for the following reasons:

*	Ego
	
	I don't like messages saying "Make mine 10 times bigger than anyone else's!"
	I'll size them according to my design.

*	Limits

	Well, Build has some limits, (1024 sectors, 8192 walls, and 4096 sprites)
	If I reach critical levels, I may not create massive areas for all the winners.

*	Aesthetic

	I know I spelled it wrong. You'll get what I mean: I don't wanna have
	things for the winners go too much against the theme of the level, no matter
	what it is. Just don't ask me to do things I think are inappropriate for the level.

#####################################################
What you need to give me when I've told you won!
#####################################################

When you win by getting primary messages only, you need to send me:

*	A picture of you in either BMP or JPG format, any # of colors, any size. (JPG prefered)
*	A text file with your name, nickname, email, web site, and any 1 thing you choose.

By winning by getting the secondary messages, you need to send me:

*	You can just write you name and email in the email, or...
*	A text file with your name and email on it. (preferred)

When you are a winner by getting all the primary and secondary messages, you need to send me:

*	A picture of you in either BMP or JPG format, any # of colors, any size. (JPG prefered)
*	A text file with your name, nickname, email, web site, any 1 thing you choose,
	what Duke says when you approach your picture, and what weapons you want near your
	area.

PS. I'll need it (The zip file) less than 1 MB, so I can put it on disk. I check my mail away
from my home computer, so I have to put it on disk to transfer it.

*****************
How do I know whats a primary or secondary message?
******************

Me to know, you to find out when you win...

******************
READ THIS PART NOW!!!
******************

When you send me an email about this, the messages shouldn't be in a separtate text file.
It should be in the email, please.


Well, I'm pretty sure that's about it. Good luck!
