[Omera]

I am looking for a MUX/MUSH/MUCK/whatever that doesn't have enforced permadeath. There should be people to RP with all the time, because sometimes I get bored from having too much time on my hands (weekends). Also, I don't want to submit a character app with a wall of text for a biography.

Sorry Omera, I can't think of a place that really fits your criteria, except maybe for some adult themed mushes. Try Shangri-La. Supposedly it has the most players and you don't need a big app for a character.

[Omera]

No erotic roleplay please.

[Ide]

If only.

Seriously, maybe Road To Amber then? It's pretty much full consent I believe, so your character wouldn't have to die if you didn't want them to. They've been averaging 50 players or so.

Ancient Anguish is "whatever" (lpmud) which is always busy, ~60-80 players peak times, ~30-40 low times.

Character death results in the loss of one level, you can always recover from a death.

RP if you want to, be yourself if you want to, whatever your preference. Character creation requires your playername, a gender, a race, and if you want to see new user training or not.

That's not the same at all, your mud sounds like it accepts roleplaying whereas they sound to be looking for something heavily roleplay-centric.

Well, if you will consider a MUD, come on by NW. There is permadeath (in very limited moderation, basically you have to be a complete jackass to be permadeathed), but mostly just standard resurrection and no level loss on death. There is however a lot of roleplay since we are roleplay enforced and many people to roleplay with. You might do well as a merchant or a cleric of the light if you are not seeking very much combat and more roleplayable situation.

Just yesterday a rogue held auditions for a play at the grand theater in the main town and the Druids had a huge event on the benefits of nature and someone was murdered and a ship was sunk at sea. So, you can see the entire gambit of roleplay and combat are available.

Come check it out! If you play for a week and do not thoroughly enjoy it, you won't have to pay a single dime.

Good luck!

You might want to try Threshold. ~100 people online with required RP and no permadeath (unless you choose it for RP reasons).

Necromundus has permadeath in the sense that, well, you're already dead when you start the game. It's a MUSH, with an RP requirement, so you do have to submit a brief biography for your character - at least 250 words. However, there's no real theme knowledge requirement. Technically, your character could be coming to the afterlife realms from any world or time.

Like I stated in a previous thread, I'm 13 (14 actually since my birthday was last month)and the mods or admin might find out my age and than I'll be banned from the game.

Especially if you told them directly, huh?

From my experience, many of the games that enforce RP or have heavy RP systems will have some kind of age restriction. Partly I imagine for legal reasons, partly because they want mature players. Good luck with finding one to suit you, though.

Age has nothing to do with maturity, and anybody who thinks otherwise is ignorant. If an adult somehow can't RP comfortably around somebody who's 14, than they can kindly stop RP cybering in a public place ingame.

Actually, most people who play MUDs to cyber probably wouldn't care if a 14 year old was watching.

Not going to argue, and I'm not saying that this policy is good, bad or indifferent - simply that it's something to take into account when choosing a MUD, and from my experience within this genre of games, that is often what other MUD admins tell me when we talk about the reasons behind our policies. I'm quite happy to have players of any age, and you're quite right that a 14 year old player can be a great deal more respectful and a better member of the community than a 30 year old who gets drunk and plays for a laugh, or whatever. Just, right or wrong, many MUDs in the category that interests you will have that rule.

Not saying that you should ever break a rule like that, of course (and certainly not Threshold's ), but sometimes we have to be pragmatic about these things. If you find a MUD that interests you but also has that rule, it might be worthwhile e-mailing the game admin and asking why they do that, and if there's any way for it to be waived or something similar.

Spoken like a true teenager. You prove the point rather than defend against it, Omera. Maybe you haven't gotten to that part of Anatomy/Physiology yet, where they study the brain. Or maybe you just need to watch a little more Dr. Phil. But age definitely -is- related to emotional maturity. There is a sizeable allowance for extremes, but even with that allowance, a 12-year-old will not have the brain function to understand consequences and logical reasoning, as a 20-year-old. A 14-year-old will not be mentally or emotionally capable of comprehending the possibility of traumatic episodes 20 years in the future, as the result of chosen behaviors today. It's just how the brain develops, and it is why there are age limits in the first place.

Spoken like a true adult.

Omera, I wanted to add a few more mushes that seem to be good these days, although they might be smaller: Victorian Reverie, Haunted Memories (both World of Darkness), and The Greatest Generation (WWII sim).

[Omera]

I could honestly give a crap less what the ignorant mind thinks of my age. Also, would you happen to have any degrees in biology or psychology Jazuela?

Please stick to the topic at hand, i.e recommending MUSHes etc for Omera to try out. Any discussion of the definitions of maturity should have its own thread somewhere else, probably The Break Room.

Thanks. That should get the thread on topic.
