I really like the idea with this thread, because it gives us the chance to actually thank some of our Builders. Which I am pretty certain that most of us don’t do often enough. So I give you the 5 top Builders of 4D (in alphabetical order, because I would not put one before the other):

Bloodqueen, because of her evil and devious mind, and the funniest DT in the game. She says that descs bore her, but is actually very good at them. She is even better at making objects and Quests, probably because she’s always been a packrat herself. She is one of the few to use colours in an aesthetic and tasteful way, not just flashy. So far she’s built 3 challenging 100 room zones with the theme of Old Egypt. She is now working on a grand project, a 500 room big Future Shopping Mall, which I expect will attract a large crowd –who might come in the hope of doing some cheap shopping, but end up getting a few nasty surprises...

Crystal, my right hand, because I can trust her completely and because she always actually FINISHES the large projects she starts. And because her descs are so poetic, with flavour and atmosphere, and always true to the Time period. But more than anything else, because she relieved me of the tedious and thankless task of making personalised player equipment, which has to be done on line. She has built totally 600 rooms of medieval zones up so far, and is working on a really big Future zone, ‘The City of Sinsations’. And no, that isn’t a typo - this zone is really a bit X-rated and you’ll have to be above 18 to even enter it. *snicker*

Mordecai, because his first zone is still among the most popular in the mud, even though it is also one of the most challenging. But above all, because he is a wizard at scripts, he has more or less revolutionised our mud and revived several of the oldest zones with his funny, twisted, imaginative and totally amazing scripts. Most of the Builders, including myself, rely on him for support with tricky scripts. Regrettably I am about to lose him to the coder, who seems to have discovered his special talents too. Mordecai is looking for bigger challenges and will be helping to code the mud in the future. My loss, but the Coder’s gain, I hope.

Shartrance, because of her humour, wit, intelligence - and kinky twists. Her 400 room zone, the old bedside story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves retold for ADULTS, has kept her audience amused, challenged, frustrated and cursing her name for quite some time now. I laughed out loud myself the first time I read some of her descs. Shartrance has more or less left 4D by now, but can usually be relied on to return, when some Twink has blabbered about the solution to one of her Quests. Return, to stamp her foot in anger, and then take the zone out to revamp it, making it yet a bit more evil, twisted, frustrating and hard to get through...

Tanaea, my fellow evil bitch, who started out as the best player in the mud, went on to be the biggest bug abuser, then the biggest bug reporter, then the best Builder of her time, then our Website designer, then - just about as she was going to rise to the state of Coder - decided to go on a year long Around-the-world Tour. She’s returned home to Australia now, and although we more or less lost her to her RL job, she still runs our Website and visits the mud occasionally to dish the dirt with her friends. And we still have her zones, 750 rooms of spicy Australia, ranging from the gay Mardi Gras Parade in Sydney, to the aborigines in the Outback.

I could easily have mention five more Builders, some of those have left us by now, others are ‘on the rise’, and might be in the top soon. But I’ll end it here, so as not to spam you too much.
