At first, the VIP was a spartan, and although it seemed to play a bit better than the infection version, it just didn't seem right.

Backstory

Iambic started out as a small structure in the center of the crypt in the middle of the summer. That structure is now what you see as top red. That structure was then extended to what is now the main blue room (blue start). After that, the project was abandoned for a good month. Then one day in early August, I was going through my list of Sandbox maps on my hard drive and found a project titled "secret 068". I loaded it up and, realizing how much potential it had, worked on the map for a few hours. After that, I felt obliged to finish it because I had gotten so far in the map. Over the course of the next few weeks, I did just that. Then, in early September, I finished the beta version of the map, and thus began the testing. Testing lasted around a month and a half, during which time Iambic went through many changes regarding the layout of the map, lines of sight, spawns, weapon layout, and even aesthetics. The one major change to the layout of the map that was made was the addition of the tunnel that connects green with bottom red.
