Elvie's blog

Just a little personal plug... I have a new blog at katharyne.com/blog

Do check it out, I'm using it to write about elements of hyper-reality, and anything else that screws with notions of reality. It's fun :)

This Sunday's working picnic at M*U*S*H (mush.pennmush.org 4201) will be presented by Ender. The subject is 'Player Relations: Being a Benevolent Dictator'

It should be interesting and thought-provoking so do come along.

There's a bit of an issue with daytime savings time. The US has changed and the UK hasn't, but I'm going to stick with GMT time until the end of the month so this picnic will be held at:

10:30pm GMT
5:30pm Chicago (MUSHtime)

Hope everyone can come along :)

Sorry that there was no announcement here of last week's picnic. Diuturnal gave an excellent talk with some provocative discussion to follow. Log follows:

Linden Grove(#159RntJ)

Although you can observe oaks, elms, maples, and walnuts, the ~~1~~
linden is clearly the ruler of the grove. Tall silver lindens stretch ~111~
to dizzying heights above the other trees, and shorter, bushier ~1X11
"little lindens" offer a pleasant combination of shade and sunlight 1111~
beneath their many small leaves. ~111~

The working picnic series, Managing Your MUSH continues at M*U*S*H (mush.pennmush.org 4201) on Sunday 2nd March.

Excitingly, our guest speaker for this week is Javelin who will be talking on 'Good to Great for MUSH' and everyone is welcome. Tell all your friends and pack your picnic hamper! Following the talk, there will be plenty of time for discussion.

These events are proving very popular with some fascinating discussions.

The 'Managing your MUSH' working picnic series goes from strength to strength. Following Impster's superb presentation and discussion last week and a big turn-out, this week's guest speaker is Nymeria who will be talking on the subject of MUSH themes and player expectations.

It will be held in Linden Grove at M*U*S*H (mush.pennmush.org 4201) on Sunday 22nd February at 4:30pm MUSHtime (Chicago)/10:30pm GMT.

Do come along, the talks are usually short and interesting and there's plenty of time for discussion.

Today, Managing Your MUSH continues at M*U*S*H (mush.pennmush.org 4201) with a second working picnic and a guest speaker, Impster from M*U*S*H. He'll be talking on MU* Operations and the Social Contract.

The talk will take place in Linden Grove at 4:30pm MUSHTime (Chicago)/10:30pm GMT. We're still looking for speakers for future events so if you'd like to talk on any aspect of MUSH management, please get in contact with Elvira!
