So... TIM's down, and you don't know where to go.  Or maybe Furry is
crashing every two hours and you can't finish a single conversation.

Or perhaps, you would just like to build on a mud that has NO REGISTRATION,
and NO BUILDING RESTRICTIONS.

In that case, I recommend you make the switch to (EVIL!)Mud.

(EVIL!) runs at fido.econ.arizona.edu 4201 [128.196.196.1]

(EVIL!)Mud has many benefits.

- It runs TeenyMud 1.3b, a very stable version that has been known to
  stay up for weeks at a time.

- It is disk-based, and is run by a sysadmin who has allotted a lot of
  diskspace for it.  This means the mud has plenty of room to grow.

- It has a long history.  The mud has been around since January 1991,
  or for almost 21 months.  The admin has decided this will be a permanent
  mud, so you needn't fear your stuff will disappear a few months down
  the road.

- With over 9500 objects in the db, there's a lot to explore.

- A special area has been reserved for development by furries, and a furry
  wizard has been assigned to that area, Tygress.

- Idiots and tinyjerks are not tolerated.  Sitenames are available to
  all users.

- (EVIL!)Mud has a nice solid, topological infrastructure.

- The mud is serviced by a Maas-Neotek mapping robot, Paws.  He can
  tell you where to find things, and deliver messages to other players
  for you.


(EVIL!)Mud would like to have more players.  So please come and check
it out.  Feel free to idle for hours on end (like those people with
special clients that keep them connected forever).  There's no reason
why this can't become a place for lots of interesting people to interact
with each other in an interesting social setting.

	Leaving aside for the moment any questions about why you need a
client on a machine that's only for mail and news, there are a few
that don't need a C compiler.  If you've got emacs, there are several
elisp clients, and I seem to recall someone writing a client in perl.
Then there's a tcl client that a few people seem to like a lot.  These
all need a compiler of SOME sort, but not a c compiler.

SillyMUD now resides at doldrums.cis.ufl.edu an rotates between ports
4000 and 4001. Please note that the player file was wiped a few weeks
ago. Quite a lot has been added (New classes, mounts, new skills and

Hi there,
   I am a semi-experienced diku player and am looking for a Mud to play (not
necessarily a diku) to play.  Since there is no mudlist anymore i am having a
hard time finding a mud that i like.  I like Diku's because of the realm and
environment BUT I am willing to try an lp or some other mud that is medieval
or fantasy based...
   If you could either reply on this newsgroup or email me i would be much
obliged.

Thanks alot

The mudlist is regularly posted to alt.mud. r.g.m.misc, and r.g.m.announce.
you can get copies from 
ftp to caisr2.caisr.cwru.edu in /pub/mud

yes there is a FAQ which is posted, somewhere in the r.g.m list, and also
in news.answers. you can ftp it, i am sure, but dont remember where.

article numbers are _not_ a useful reference, except on the
same news server. The message ID is, but these are a bit harder
for most people to look up and retrieve.

hmmm ... what are you worrying about ?
It's not true that you will never meet a girl playing a female character ...
in fact i have seen two or three of them at our site ;-)
It's true that there are more male persons (men ?) playing muds, but that
doesnt indicate that there are no girls playing. And, in fact, there are
good-looking girls playing as well as there are ugly-looking men as well as
there are ugly-looking girls and handsome men playing ... *scratch*
(At our site, we had 3 girls playing, 2 good looking, 1 not so good ...)
well ... all the previous articles indicated that people play mud mainly
for electronic masturbation ... i cant join this opinion! I think this is
bullshit. I played mud because i found it interesting meeting people from
all over the world in a kind of virtual reality. And i did meet the girl, who
is (currently ;-) my girlfriend, in the city at night drinking beer in a pub,
and not in a mud. (When I invited her to play mud, she even chose a male char-
acter :->
I think, that you may find perverts playing muds ... but, why not let them
live/play ? You will find perverts in real life, too ... I dont think they
can do harm to me, so ... let them live/play ! :-)
(Ugh... maybe I should chose a less aggressive word than "pervert" ...
 sorry, I hope u dont nail me to the cross for that :-)

Isn't this sad? Some computer dork, sitting around late at night, 
dissatisfied with life as a repressed guy has now convinced himself
utterly that he is in fact a female. This, my friends, is what
MUDding does to you. The only reason this poor deluded young man
chooses to MUD is because there he can imagine himself to be female,
and nobody can tell him otherwise. Even the name -- "Dana" -- just
a bit too androgenous, don't you think? All a bit too convenient.

My advice to you, "Dana," seek professional help. You CAN get better,
with some good therapy and a few strong electric shocks. And you can
once again live with the knowledge that you are a girl caught in a 
boy's body. It's not too late. Please, help yourself. Everyone here
knows that no females MUD. The charade is over...

You are probably mistaken using the term "almost all." You might be 
surprised at the great number of males playing female chars. Admittedly,
many females DO mud, but many males also play female chars.

>Once a female came up to me and said "I have been hearing so much about these

What does this have to do with anything? Was the female a female char or
player? And even if it was a female in RL, what does one case show about
the MUD pop in general?

>There you are folks, proof that females actually _DO_ play MUDs.

If this was the point the above line was supposed to prove, who cares?
There has never been any real doubt in any (intelligent) person's mind
that some MUD players are female. At the beginning of this post, you 
seem to be saying that the majority of female chars are female players.
That is in dispute. But regardless, the fact that one female plays
has nothing to do with the first point, and was never really questioned.

NewDay is now open for your mudding entertainment!

NewDay is a TinyMUCK, running DaemonMUCK 0.12                 
It is located at:    zeus.calpoly.edu 4201
That number again:   129.65.16.21 4201

NewDay is an open muck, with characters available to all.  Building
and programming is freely encouraged.  If the area you build does
not jibe with existing areas, you are free to build it as an
unlinked area to be linked in to the dreaming nexus at a later
date; there will be no wizards coming down on you and informing you
that your area is 'not in theme' or 'not what we're looking for'.
The only restriction on programming and building is that your areas
and programs not interfere with the right of others to enjoy the
MUCK.  The purpose of NewDay is to have fun; all other concerns are
secondary.

The worlds of NewDay include the 'waking world' the world most
players interact in after waking up from the field at midnight; the
world of PythonMUCK as reconstructed by Deanatay; and the world of
Brazil (not the country, the MOVIE) as constructed by traumahound,
Lombar, and Austin.  NewDay is a very young MUCK and can still use
buildings and chunks of countryside of most any shape, size, and
description; your ideas and work are valued!

Please call NewDay at zeus.calpoly.edu 4201 or 129.65.16.21 4201
We look forward to sharing enjoyable times with you!

    If perhaps you've OD'd on the whole elves and fairies and dwarves
    (oh my!), or you're looking for something besides a sword of frost
    to wield in your hands, or maybe your just willing to try something
    new....

    Then ABACUS - Post Nuclear Mud (130.238.204.10  4080) is just right
    for you!!

    Ten Damn Good Reasons to Give ABACUS a Try:
    -------------------------------------------

 1)  Set in one genre:  CYBER-PUNK - Year 2125AD
     No more ice dragons in one room, a smurf in another, and the cast
     of Saturday Night Live in the next.  By God we have a theme and we
     stick with it!

 2)  Not a single fairy or elf!

 3)  Weapons that can be damaged or repaired...including shootable-weapons.
     No psuedo-guns that are really swords renamed to look like guns.  You
     have to buy ammo on our mud!  (talk about REALISM!!) - plus they 'jam'

 4)  A working Stock Market system -- You like an area?  Buy stock in it!

 5)  A REALISTIC communication system:  Phones w/ answering machines (which
                                            you can set the out-going message
                                            for)
                                        Commradios - with hundreds of channels
                                        Modern post office

 6)  Warring gangs and clubs instead of guilds!

 7)  Great quests, including the infamous Operation: Prejudice, but
     not so many to where its impossible to wiz!

 8)  BTW, no wizards!!  Who wants to belong to the KKK when you can be
     a full-fledged Scientist!!??

 9)  A unique HitchHiker's Guide to Nuclear War in which joe-average players
     can write articles for.  We put the power of the pen in YOUR hand!

10)  And if you do decide to wield that pen, you can wield it in either hand!!
     No more of those wimpy toothpicks taking up both hands!  Twice the
     POWER and twice the FUN!!


     So...if you'd like to hang-out on one of the fastest growing and most
     unique muds out there, then JOIN US on ABACUS!!
