[comp.sources.games.bugs] CALL FOR DISCUSSION: rec.games.mud

bee@cs.purdue.edu (Zaphod Beeblebrox) (02/01/90)

This is an Official Call For Discussion for creating the newsgroup
rec.games.mud.  MUD stands for Multi-User Dungeon, developed at CMU.
There are several of these around the country, most notably at
Carnegie Mellon (tinyMUD; telnet daisy.learning.cs.cmu.edu 4201), and
at the University of Oklahoma (tinyHELL; telnet uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu
6250).

There currently is an alt.mud, but it suffers from poor distribution.
Judging by the large number of people that are connected to the MUDs
at any given time, there should be considerable support for such a
group.  (If you don't believe me, try connecting to one of them
sometime.)

                                          B.E.E.
                                          (Finrod on tinyHELL)

I'd love to see this group.  I have enhanced MUD from version 1.5.1 out of
CMU to add escape sequences to the messages, sticky exits, gender, and
trapdoors.  As soon as these have been tested, I will send them back to the
authors for possible inclusion.
