Corpolitick 2.2 - The Game of Organizational Dominance(TM)(R)(C)

In the not-too-distant future, power is forged, wielded, shattered, reforged, sharpened, wielded again, broken again, and hung on the wall as a Relic of Mystery by Organizations, ranging from tiny partnerships to mammoth multicontinent corporations, from strange clans to stranger nonprofit NGOs, from Amalgamated Marketing Marketing ("We only sell salesmen who sell salesmen") to PhytoCarn Products ("Animal-based health food for plants") to Geeks'R'Us to Walt-You-Will-Have-Fun-Corporate-World.

Blood of Dragons is set in the low-magic, medieval-inspired fantasy world of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Knowledge of the books is not required for players with some MU*ing experience, though it is definitely helpful.

The game takes place 140 years prior to the start of the first book, A Game of Thrones. The end of King Daeron's campaign in Dorne is fast approaching, and this weekend Blood of Dragons MUSH will be hosting two high-profile events that constitute the climax of the Conquest of Dorne:

I may have lost The Game, but I did it with STYLE.

After a hearty and well played attempt to work with this infamous theme of a canon Pokemon universe, which seems to have went through many iterations over the years by different people, I am willing to hand over the reigns of this recent attempt to a competent mush/mud/mux administrator.

[Pokemon Adventures MUSH] is a canon universe Pokemon MUSH built to be focused on roleplay. No combat system currently coded or involved with the current codebase.

Some process has been made. I've been getting people to log in and just the game by its theme and rules. So far, I've gotten good responses, and somewhat surprisingly to me, quite some /interest/ as well as questions on when it will start.

Some may have noticed on M*U*S*H over time, that I have been working on the development of a middle-verse typed MUSH for... well... quite some time now. Getting some unique code from people like Mike (Talvo) as well as regexp magic from Walker. Over time, I've learned quite some new ways of coding, and even toppled the way I used to do some of my code. Making it more modular... customizable.

But this is not about M*U*S*H and the awesome help it's provided me. Instead, it is about the game I am developing.

In honor of Brigadoon Day, the original DuneMUSH will return for
BrigaDUNE Day on Wednesday, August 20, 2008.

Return to the sands of Arrakis, the courtyards of Kaitain, the Bene
Gesserit School on Wallach IX, the vast heighliners of the Spacing
Guild, and the rest of the Duniverse! Visit old friends, get in a
little RP for old times' sake, or just stop by to say hello.
Even if you didn't have a character on DuneMUSH, you're welcome to visit.

DuneMUSH will be at: mush.pennmush.org 5555

The MUSH will be up by midnight (CDT) Tuesday and will go down

CyberMUSH is now accepting applications for administrative positions from anyone interested in helping a cyberpunk-themed MUSH go live - softcode, hardcode, hosting, you name it. If interested, contact misfit815@yahoo.com.

On a similar note, I don't know of a single cyberpunk-themed MUSH already out there. If you're connected to one, let's get together and talk.

It's been a while since I posted, and I just realized that I never did post information on my current game.

It's The Road to Amber MUSH, set at the end of the second book of Roger Zelazny's Amber chronicles.

We've passed our six-month mark since opening and things feel like they're going pretty well. What's surprised me is the number of newbies -- people with minimal or no previous MUSH experience. The hobby is not yet dead!
