+  * Here is where a round itself is actually begun and setup.
   * * db connection setup
   * * config loaded from files
   * * loads admins
   * * Sets up the dynamic menu system
   * * and most importantly, calls initialize on the master subsystem, starting the game loop that causes the rest of the game to begin processing and setting up

-  * but they have not been Initialized at this point, only their New proc has run
   *
   * Nothing happens until something moves. ~Albert Einstein
   *
+  * For clarity, this proc gets triggered later in the initialization pipeline, it is not the first thing to happen, as it might seem.
+  *
+  * Initialization Pipeline:
+  *		Global vars are new()'ed, (including config, glob, and the master controller will also new and preinit all subsystems when it gets new()ed)
+  *		Compiled in maps are loaded (mainly centcom). all areas/turfs/objs/mobs(ATOMs) in these maps will be new()ed
+  *		world/New() (You are here)
+  *		Once world/New() returns, client's can connect.
+  *		1 second sleep
+  *		Master Controller initialization.
+  *		Subsystem initialization.
+  *			Non-compiled-in maps are maploaded, all atoms are new()ed
+  *			All atoms in both compiled and uncompiled maps are initialized()
