I have been playing muds for quite a few years, over ten to be a bit more specific. I have had the opportunity to become an immortal on a few, but alas, they have closed their doors. [b]Here is what I would like to do:[/b] I would like to code on a mud. This mud can be established, or in its inception. I don't care about size, playerbase, or staff size.

Being an asshole and hiding behind "RP" is still being an asshole and making every conscious choice to do so. http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2278&p=37947#p37947 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:18:09 PST DikuMUD nobody@example.com (David Haley) http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2285&p=37946#p37946 Lol yeah, RT Is Russ Taylor's footprint ;). http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2285&p=37946#p37946 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:50:20 PST Rom nobody@example.com (Skol) http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2285&p=37945#p37945 [quote=[url=/index.php?a=topic&t=2285&p=37942#p37942]Mudder[/url]]Hmm, that might be it.
