Re: Funniest Place You've Run into someone who plays your MUD?
Since this thread has picked up again, I can share another story.
A few years ago, I had to call our merchant bank to sort out a credit card processing issue due to a switch in processing software. It was a moderately complicated issue, so I got kicked up the chain of command a few steps until I was speaking to a Vice President. As he was helping me get the issue resolved, he looked into our account and said, "Wow, Threshold? I used to play that game. Then I got so busy here I never had time and we weren't allowed external internet access. But now that I've gotten a few promotions I can do whatever I want. I'll have to start playing again."
And he did start playing again, and still plays actively. That was probably the most fortuitous technical difficulty I have ever had to deal with.
