THE MAP STORY
___________________________________________________________________________________________

Once again, the Ts and CTs have gathered in peace for their yearly no-guns-allowed Christmas Figureskating competition. But suddenly something goes terribly wrong, as a Terrorist unwilling to set aside his grudge against an AWP-whoring CT takes his revenge in the form of cold, sharp steel. Now, what had been a joyous celebration of the Christmas spirit, and a beautiful demonstration of Figureskating grace, has suddenly turned into a no-holds-barred shankfest. And we wouldn't have it any other way. :D

SPECIAL THANKS TO

Thanks to my clan, 7 Deadly Sins, for letting me beta test this on their server, and for being so l33t. :D

Thanks to John and Reverend Tseng for enduring the long downloads to playtest with me before some of the releases. :)

Thanks to everyone involved in making de_laguna, because I was too lazy to make my own readme file layout and stole theirs. ;)
