I used to play arctic and sojourn a lot, but with the advent of mmorpgs, I kind of stopped playing them. Which one are you on?

Yeah, I've been mudding since I was about five years old, but my father owned the construction company, and I frequently went with him to the job sites.

The trick to mudding well is to make sure ya got lots of mud, plaster it over the seams and nails real good, thick coat, and scrape off the excess in one smooth stroke. It's real easy once you get into the rhythm of it.

Oh - really? See, you didn't specify, and I didn't know, so I thought maybe you were talking about home improvements. Huh. Okay.

Still, the comments I made are accurate, so if anyone out there is looking at mudding, that's what ya do.

I mud...or I used to. I don't have much time to do so anymore, but I was on Aardwolf. That's actually how I met my husband. [Smile]

I'm more a MUSH and MUX man, myself -- although the Discworld MUD is still the best MU* in the known world, hands down.

Okay, so for those of us who OBVIOUSLY don't have a clue, why don't the lot of you enlighten us and tell us what this mudding thing is, if it doesn't involve gypsum board, eh?

MUDs are basically text-based online RPGs. You type in commands like "look" or "kill x" where x is the thing you want to kill. That sort of thing. There are some MUDs that you have to pay for, though the one I play on is free. So, basically, you can run around and gain levels and spells and skills, or go on quests, that sort of thing. Kinda fun.

OK, a few more terms before the long winded (actually the extremely brief because I'm otherwise occupied and can't be bothered to go into details [Razz] ) explanation ...
RPG = Role Playing Game
MOO = MUD Object Oriented

Then you also have MMORPG which is Massively Multiplayer Online RPG .. but let's not go there - though I think I just did [Razz]

A MUD is basically an online game where multiple players play together. The setting or the environment for the game is defined beforehand and the players have to role play within that environment .. or something along those lines? Clear as MUD? [Razz]

Now, now .. that's not a nice way to go about a reasoned argument [Razz] Plus, banging heads on walls leads to concussion - or so the surgeon general says on every wall .. in real small print [Razz]

Huh. I guess I'll have to start reading the fine print. Check it for grammatical correctness and spelling errors. [Wave]

One of my closest friends spends an obscene amount of time mudding. He plays a NY based one called Avatar almost exclusively. I think it's a monstrous waste of time, personally.

In case anyone is interested, avatar.outland.org:3000 and may God have mercy on your soul.
