I.  What Is It?
----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a "Setting" for the CS! game.  Players pick a Character
from a Setting File, and use that Character during the game.
Different settings give different strengths, weaknesses and
flavor to the game.

This first setting is called "Madder".  The term "Madder" stands
for the twenty-feet tall, mechanical, humanoid engines of
destruction.  These weapons are piloted by humans, and giant
arenas -- the loser becoming scrapped.
