Hello,

this is probably a FAQ but since I don't know where to obtain the FAQ nor

This is great if your mud allows multiple characters at once (ie: multicharing)
Most muds i'm on don't, and you'll loose one, if not both characters if 
caught.

These are functions on bit arrays associated with file descriptors
(sockets), for use with asynchronous input/output. They are used 
primarily for checking whether a file has pending input (not sure
about output). They ought to be defined in <sys/types.h>. If you
want to know more, a "man select" ought to be a bit more 
informative.

      Looks like Abaddon is getting ready to show us all a new system. I lost
my mortals but was able to login as my Immort. There is a bit of info on the
Immort board. I wouldn't hold my breath about getting any mortals back. I also
wouldn't hold my breath about the future of all the current Immorts. It looks
like decisions are being made. Try your Immort again......I logged in this 
morning around 9 or 10 EST.......So far, the general concensus among the 
Immorts appears to be in favor of the new system. We'll have to wait and see
what Abaddon decides.

      Hopefully, he'll shed some light on everything himself and reduce the
need for rumors. I'd expect this, with the amount of traffic Adversary has
had in the past and the fact that he is the admin.

Negative?  How so?  Not unless the victim isn't prepared to be
attacked.  I certainly would if I'd killed someone's brother.  
These kinds of situations also tend to promote roleplaying
(like what you said above as opposed to 'You friggin' asshole!
You're dead!'), which is also a 'good thing'.

It IS the only way they can amuse themselves, really.  Ever played
a carreer level 20 character when another of your characters was
already immortal?  When I get bored of that I usually do something
new...  Start up a thief clan, dedicated to lightening the loads
of other peoples' pockets, or even go on a player-killing rampage
just for kicks.  Sure, new players might be terrorized for a little,
then some "player-killer-killer" group sprouts up, and both usually
annhiliate each other.  It's kind of an endless cycle, and everyone
has a real blast in the long run. ;-)

The file descriptor macros are in sys/types.h...  Why could you figure

For christmas, I received a book by James Gurney called
_Dinotopia_ - it describes a fairly detailed culture consisting
of intelligent dinosaurs and humans living and working side by
side, using paintings and diary entries.

It struck me as an interesting concept for a TinyMUSH. The
problem - since its not a work of literature, and very new, very
few people will have even heard of it. The purpose of this post
is to test the waters, and see if any readers out there would be
interested in such a thing, either as players or admin-types. You
needn't have read the book, just be interested in the concept I
briefly outlined above.

Well, true.  But the question is not only "is it real", there's also a
question of hypocrisy.  I wonder how many of the same people who said "you
shouldn't complain, it's only a game" when that catchphrase was useful in
defending FurryMUCK will react likewise, when the same 'argument' is now a
defense of an attacker?  Not many, I'll wager, and I am pointing this out.

Of course, this says something about the admission standards of Furry too,
since they let Yozduk in, and gave him a mucker bit....

He probably likes to program, at least to some extent.  So had the program not
been useful against FurryMUCK, he might have gotten almost as much
entertainment from it anyway.  I also bet the ensuing ruckus will last a
lot longer than hours and hours, so as far as expenditure of time/amusement
ratio goes, this one's probably quite good.

FurryMUCK is a person's life?

But Yozduk isn't a UT student.  More likely he attends the University of
Minnesota.  That post was forged from staff.tc.umn.edu.  The mailer
on cs.utexas.edu appended our domain name only because it appeared to be
a local address.  Here's the original mail header, fyi:
