Education

On Sunday, April 5 April 12, at 2 PM server time (CDT), in Omphalos Park on M*U*S*H (mush.pennmush.org 4201), Tyr will announce and discuss the game he's been working on, tentatively titled 'The Empire MUSH.' Set in 11th-century Thuringia, Germany, the game is an attempt at marrying history and fantasy in a work of interactive fiction.

I gave a talk about Player Relations, and what it means to me, at the picnic tonight. For those of you who attended, TINY TACOS. Its sorta like Chunky Bacon, but less gem like.

When the log is up, feel free to read, and leave comments on either Elvira's WP6 post or my own post on this.

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~

Roundtable: Who doesn't love a good villain?

Some of the most exciting plots for players are those that include a menacing, evil, wicked villain (or villains), but these are some of the hardest plots to run because they can be so fraught with GMing pitfalls and disasters.

Managing Your MUSH
A working picnic with Elvira

You are invited to a working picnic on Sunday 10th February at 4:30pm MUSHtime/CST (10:30pm GMT). It will be held on M*U*S*H in the pleasant springtime surroundings of Linden Grove. This is the first in a season of weekly events which will examine the topic 'Managing Your MUSH' using real life organisation management techniques to improve the performance of your MUSH.

Ok, got a magor problem, been searchig for the answer for a while vefore I stumbled onto this site. A freind of mine wants to creat a new Mush based around the Bleach anime, so i told him that I would take care of the coding. So I go to ask my brother, who is a coding master, about it, and he says he is too busy running his mush. Then I tried to learn myself... however I can't figure out for the life of me where to even start. Does anyone know of a place where I can look for information about the how to d the coding?

A friend of mine has recruited me to help administer his MUSH, and part of what I have been asked to do is to convert a stack of text files he sent me into News files for the MUSH.

My first question is this: How do I preserve whitespace? There are quotes and paragraphs that are indented, and I have a feeling if I just slap them in as-is, it will be one continuous run-on block of text.

My second question: How do I enter a line-break? Same reasons as above.

My third question: Are there any good "teach yourself to code" kind of things out there for this kind of stuff?

Once this scrolls out of the 'recent posts', it will begin to fade into the background as a spooky, fun surprise; and, as a beneficial side-effect, eventually the shortest route to it (other than a direct link) will be through my blog page, which masks replies and will further enhance the 'quest' aspect of this post (more art?).
