A mud with I7 even as the scripting language would be pretty damn cool in my book.

Thanks for posting this MudMann. I don't even remember how I found out about contemporary IF a few years ago, but it's something I wish I had 'discovered' more like ten years ago.

For all you other TMS people out there, there is an enormous collection of IF sites, resources, languages, etc. out there. These are basically single-player text games.

The main gathering place for discussion is on Usenet, at rec.arts.int-fiction and rec.games.int-fiction, though there are a few places that mirror this in the web browser, notably Google Groups.

There are several archive sites, the canonical one being , with an easier interface for just games at , and a newer one at , which basically mirrors the games on the archive but adds reviews, recommended lists, etcetera.

For a pretty good introduction to what it's all about I recommend .

Anyway, I could talk about this all day, so I better stop now .
