I cannot speak for Dulan of course. But then again, neither can you. Nor for me.

Because a fact is, that you don’t have a clue about what other aliases I, or he for that matter, might be using on the net, or what we might, or might not, have achieved under those other aliases. You see, not everyone shares your habit of crowing, flexing and strutting all over the boards about everything we do that might bring some more players to our games.

Another thing is that the most interesting input on this thread came from other people than you. People that you didn’t even have the common decency to acknowledge in that little thank-you-and-goodbye note of yours.

But since you brought the subject up, why don’t you enlighten us all about what great and unselfish deeds you have done for the text mud community yourself? (I mean, apart from causing the rules of the voting list to be changed twice because of your ‘innovative’ methods of scrounging some extra votes for your game? Or those equally ‘innovative’ advertisements in the past, where a number of non-existing people voted Achaea ‘the number one Mud on the net’? Or of course that old thread where you tried to persuade all mud owners to start breaking the Diky licence? Or that even older post on MudDev, where you were crowing happily about your new concept for get ting rich on your Mud? Since that one was even longer ago, I cannot recall the exact wording. But the gist of it was, that most players are so stupid and power-hungry that they’d pay almost any amount of money, if they thought that it could bring them any advantages in a game. While this actually may hold some element of truth, I cannot help wondering if your players are aware that you hold them in this high esteem).

But, there might of course be other unselfish achievements that you have done for the mud community, which just slipped your mind, so that you forgot to mention them on the boards? Come on, don’t be coy, enlighten us! I am sure that your huge fan club is waiting breathlessly for some new words of wisdom from their idol.

And while he is working on that list, which will no doubt be impressive, here is another quote of his, for the rest of you, including the list Admin to ponder.

Could any of you explain to me how the text mud community in general (or any mud except those that paid to participate) would have benefited from this exclusive venture, if it wasn’t even meant to drive any traffic to the two largest existing mudlisting sites?

And while it might be true that several of the mud listed have poor-looking websites, it is also true that quite a number have very good ones, and also very good games. But a majority of those might also be non commercial muds, and that is of course something that a commercial mud owner is not very interested in promoting, since it offers a kind of competition that he isn’t keen on. Perhaps that is why he was so eager to persuade all free mud owners to start violating the Diku licence?
