Subject: PROPOSAL: TotalGod MUD
From: Devin Murphy <dul...@igc.net>
Newsgroups: rec.games.mud.admin

Hey! I've got an idea. (Bzzt!)

Maybe I'll open a MUD where everyone is automatically raised to level 35
(level 59 for ROM/Merc) as soon as they log in.  They can load that "kewl"
equipment from their choice of overplayed stock zones, delete each other
at will, and use switch and goto to kill players.

Of course, I have to have several rules:

1) In order to play, you must be a freshman or soph computer science
student with less than two (2) friends at any given time.

2) Extra hit points an mana are given for:

	a) Not having a job.
	b) Stealing zones and code from defunct MUDs.
	c) Giving your character any name with 'ninja' in it.
	d) Being under sixteen years old.
	e) Being over twenty-eight years old.

I think TotalGod MUD would greatly reduce the amount of cheesy, half-baked
(even half-bong load MUD would be an improvement, but that's another type
of baked) MUDs that start up with 2 hours of preparation and call
themselves a game.  The main purpose of these horrid endeavors is to
count the number of spelling mistakes in the documentation or to see how
many players you can advance to near-immortality in under 12 hours of
playing time.

But--there must be a place where everyone can have +8 +8 sanctuary
footwear! And where the wizlist is 4 pages long!

Any takers?

Devin Murphy

PS:  My second site option is World of Dorkness MUSH, where everyone gets
a royal or wiz bit and is a vampire.  Oh well--it isn't as good as my
Mime's Invisible Box satire, but I'm tired.
