It happens that Shae, creator of SimpleMU also runs Maddock Mux. SimpleMU's logging feature is designed to 'comment out' anything between matching #'s, and the Maddock code puts those before and after the WHO screen, helps, channels, etc. This greatly helps in making readable logs, as you can see here:

Molly, take note - the style of roleplay is influenced by the logging, and several mannerisms have developed over the years that help the logs read more like a novel. For some folks, there's way too much introspection and OOC commenting, but the net result (pardon the pun) reads well. That is to say, as you continue to post logs, I think you'll find that act alone improves the roleplay.
PS: Building on Maddock started in '94 (it was originally the Western themed 1/4 of Guardians Mux (Which makes me wonder if Guardians inspired D4?)), might have opened early '95. Some of those characters have been played continuously for almost ten years!
