Subject: About PeaksMUSH, TinyMUDS, and related things... From: dgreen@linus.claremont.edu (Green, David) Date: 1990-11-27, 12:57 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Reply-to: dgreen@linus.claremont.edu Whoops--I didn't even realize that that posting was coming over here... A TinyMUD is something like this: It's somewhat of a text-based role-playing game. There are several types of MUDs beyond just TinyMUDs...depending on who you ask, MUD stands for Multi-User Dungeon, or Multi-User Dimension, or other creative ways people have filled in the acronym. TinyMUDs focus mainly on a kind of character socialization; other MUDs tend to be more combat-oriented. In a TinyMUD, one can make and describe rooms and objects, and can find ways to link these together to make puzzles, of sorts. There are commands for speech, and actions, (the socialization aspect of it)...and they can be highly addicting, if you like that kind of stuff. ..I hope this clears that matter up at least somewhat... **-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**+* + "If Murphy's law can go wrong, it will go wrong." ~~|~~ David Green * **-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**+- * Internet: dgreen@hmcvax.claremont.edu | * = Bitnet: dgreen@hmcvax.bitnet | * **-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=**-**+**-**=*
