Re: ArmageddonMUD - Murder, Corruption, Betrayal

Lots of things going on over the past few months. Some changes in staff, some code additions, plots and events starting/ending/being hinted at, and the producers say there's a lot more to come.

General summary of Armageddon:

One of the first RPIs, and the longest continually-running one (with a couple of stops in the service when their server was infested with spiders and another time when they moved their server from a box in some guy's living room to the cloud). By RPI, I mean something very specific: permanent death, no "levels" or training points. No smurf village or newbie school, no global chats. Replacement of traditional "verbs" or "socials" with an extensive emote system. The genre itself is a sort of mashup of original content, Dune, D&D's "Dark Sun" campaign. It's a heavily-modified DIKU deriv, and roleplay is required, not "optional" or "encouraged."

Here's a couple of logs (edited to some extent for clarity or to redact stuff meant to be discovered rather than divulged).
WARNING - ALL-TEXT CONTENT NOT EXACTLY SAFE FOR WORK OR LITTLE KIDS LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER:





Note: they're old logs, but they still do reflect the general roleplay style of the game.
