      Fidelio:     Some good ideas for additions and changes to several maps.
      madbomber:   Help with some of the join screen images and other testing
      Eurus:       More help with the join screen images and testing
      Necrobones:  One of the better Mapping tutorials I've seen
      Ritz_:       Some scripting help for the custom gametype
      SES freaks:  For hopping in and giving input on some of these maps
      Tribes2maps: Wouldn't have done this if not for that site
