That May 2015 game contest is over. You were to cool to participate. That's okay, you're a classy person and you've got important things to do. We understand that. How about we entice you to write a short story instead? 600-2500 words and has to be set in one of the game universes that Optional Realities lists! Same prize structure: 50 USD for 1st, 35 USD for 2nd, and 15 USD for 3rd. optionalrealities.com/forums/index.php?topic=107.0 |

Why do MUDs need a PR person? I mean I -agree- but what specifically about this makes you say that? Is it Japheth's manner of engagement with the people interested in LabMUD/FutureMUD. Is it the way he presents information in his posts which may not be the most reader friendly? Is it all of these?

It is worth noting (in Japheth's defense) that FutureMUD and by extension LabMUD are an engine. LabMUD itself is a self-proclaimed testing ground and showcase game for the FutureMUD engine which is supposed to be capable of supporting both complex and simplified combat. Now I haven't spoken to Japheth specifically about what kind of combat support he's offering but from an engine perspective I'm sure there will be some way to streamline/simplify combat on games that don't need the level of complexity he's trying to test.
And if I'm wrong and Japheth thinks that the proposed combat engine is viable, well so what? LabMUD is meant for feedback anyway so if you play it and hate the combat engine, let him know, provide that feedback, and hopefully/maybe he'll change it.

I checked last night there is no official word yet. I think Japheth is just focusing on his game quality and operating under the say nothing until it's ready. I imagine he doesn't want 2 false starts.

Are you trying to make the argument that the person becomes the mask they wear? Because that's already been scientifically validated. To a certain degree people also become the people that others expect them to be. Which I guess memes are both mask and expectation?

I wouldn't mind being a recurring character in the Dead Bob show.

If you're going to be classifying people as memes, can you PLEASE do me next? I am actually curious which category/classification you (who is both handsome and dashing and not puppet like) would put me in.
^ better?
