Hmm.

Hey, KaVir, doesn't Orion's arguments sorta remind you of Koldryn and his line of arguments?

-shrug- I keep reading his stuff, and have to keep checking back to be sure it's Ori, and not Kold.

I do believe the horse is dead, chopped into pieces, and is now the consistency of thin paste suitable for spreading on crackers. STOP BEATING THE DAMN HORSE AND SHUT UP ALREADY...

[Dulan]

Terloch......

Have you ever known the MUDding community to NOT beat a dead horse?

[Orion Elder]

Dulan.....

Only when you're not around.

[Dulan]

Heh.

Koldryn, Orion, Koldryn. Even the whole dead horse argument.

(Amusingly enough, it is true. You got me to look at the old saved flames.)

Firstly, please don't take me as some newbie to the forums because of my number of posts. I've been watching for a long time, I just don't make posts unless there's something I want to say. Alright, this is what I never got about the mudding community. People argure, disagree, that's natural. But I've noticed people looking past pretty obvious questions. I've seen people offer to pay 10$ a zone, pay for coding, pay for administrating, etc... The one thing I've never gotten is how do they do this? Regardless of licensing, and what's legal and what's not, how the hell can the person who does the work be sure that they will be paid? Personally, I work on muds and play on muds for fun. I do what I do because I want the game that I help to create and manage to be good. Good enough for players to come and have fun on and not have to worry about crashes and bugs or cheaters. I do it because I want to. Now, people that do it for money, and I don't mean to offend anyone, but I'm curious, are you all looking for a quick buck? Or do you enjoy working on muds, but just want to make a little money on the side doing something that's already a hobby? How do you know you'll even be paid? Do you want pay before you give the owner access to the work? And the owner, what if he takes the work, and doesn't pay you? It's not like anyone is going to go through legal action for 10$, well at least I don't think they would. But what do I know. I mean it's just funny that everyone argues and flames about points that even if you win, and it is/isn't against the license it doesn't matter, since no one would take action anyway. Oh, and if I said something wrong just let me know in a nice way. Oh, and one more thing I've noticed. Most of the posts that I've seen offering pay to people have more spelling errors then posts that simply try to attract people to their staff without money. Personally I wouldn't trust people to pay me for services rendered if they can't type or spell correctly. That would be like going to an IRL interview and having your potential boss start talking like a 3th grader. Personally, I'd walk out on that interview. Also, people always say it was rushed. Well maybe take time to look over your post before you make it. That always makes things seem more professional and credable. Just a few points. Bye all, and peace. (Peace means be NICE when you flame this response to an already dead horse, and yea, I've seen flaming dead horses when Dulan wasn't around. And back then they could fly as well )
