Can I ask you all a personal question?

[Deborah]

Any mudders in this group?

[Deborah]

:) No, as in people who play online rp games.

I am a fan of Star Wars the Old Republic, but haven't played in a bit. Lately I've been playing a lot of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, which is a very old school game and very Grimdark in that I've NEVER won. Hundreds of attempts and zero wins.

What do you play, Deborah?

[Deborah]

Armageddon Mud. Its tagline is murder corruption and betrayal.

[Chompa, Founding Father]

Cool. I'm going to check it out.

[Deborah]

Oh good!

[Deborah]

Any. There are various clients one can download. Mudlet works on all of them, I think. But there is an online flash client on the site. It's not optimal, but it's also already there.

Everyone dies a lot. Part of the charm.

Yep. My first character lived a real life week. This was impressive. Some people die in their first hour. My longest lived character lasted over two real life years.

Like the old text based MUDs on Unix?

[Deborah]

Just like. It's been around for twenty years.

Unix MUDs have been around more than 20. Probably more like 30.

Got a link to the one you're on?

Not sure I'll get to it until next week or so as I'll be starting a week vacation in a few days, but when I show up be wary of 'kingtermite'.

Awesome. If you don't like it you get all your money back. (It's free.)

Since you went out of your way to suggest it, I'll demand double my money back, then!
