A little idea I had that was spurred by the latest "The Server Crashed! WTFBBQ?" Thread. I call it project Cold Shoulder.

Step One: Develop a satanistic ritual to bring Buho back from the 'Coder's final reward'.

Step Two: Insert him back in his previous position, being forced to make what I like to call the "Fain Virus."

Step Three: Infiltrate the servers for all other MUDs in existance and implant them with the Fain Virus.

For the result just check the signature.

Aardawolf Player: Dur, im gonna go plya that Aaaaradwolf. (As you can tell I have no idea what the average Aardawolf player is like, but they're diffrent from us, that's enough reason to hate them I keed, I keed.)

Request to play Aardawolf Denied

Aardawolf Player: What! Nooooooes!!!11!!!One!1!!ELEVEN!!!!11!Shift+1!

Some Aardwolf players are okay.

Others are like Shiro or Munsia, but concentrated.

Others are onto something really interesting there, some combination of herbs that's likely illegal in the UK at any rate.

From my observations, it sadly appears that the second and third type far outnumber the first. And I seriously don't know whether the first group feel the need to be martyrs or are masochistic but otherwise perfectly sane people, because I don't know what the hell kind of RPG you want to call it when it's full of smurfs and so forth, but it ain't good. :/

I realize that there are going to be good players in all MUDs, it was a joke, about competition, and Aardawolf being possibly the most well known of all the other MUDs, considering it's ontop of TMS... or was it TMC.... Regardless, it was a joke, I used them as an example

No, no, I was saying that the joke was perfectly justified, wish it weren't though I do.

I played Aardwolf for a couple of minutes.

I don't get what people see in that game...

kill squirrel
BIG WAIT WHERE YOU DO NOTHING
go n
kill dragon
BIG WAIT WHERE YOU DO NOTHING

...you get the point. Then again, 90% of the people playing Aardwolf are at the level of intelligence when that kind stuff is challenging and fun.

I went it's therapy to beat up smurfs.. for about 10 minutes..

What happen'd to Buho?

Either he was fired, died in a mysterious accident, or has become Hajaboo.

I haven't decided yet.

He and Hajimon do talk much the same way. And the former disappeared as the latter appeared. And they're both coders. And the former was an Ephemeral where the latter is a God.

...yeah, Buho prolly died.

Poor Buho. May he rest in peace. When's the funeral?

He didn't code one.

Hajamin: Created March 14th 2005.
Buho: Last active March 14th 2005.

Case closed, I hath solved it using my degrees in Murderology and Murderonomy.

Now stop hijacking my thread. This was made so people could comment on my bad joke.

Plus, they have (almost) identical locations. Buho = Haja
