Update: since webmaster@topmudsites.com keeps bouncing, I attempted to post a topic there. Apparently you have to wait a few days before your forum account is validated, so I'm doing that while trying to write a decent description.

Maybe you might consider having a small competition among the player/immbase to see who can come up with the best description, according to criteria that you set?

That's not a bad idea. My main problem with writing the blurb right now is that all of the big changes we're bringing in will shift the perspective of the game a fair bit from what it used to be. Trying to write something decent enough to where we won't have to rewrite it too much later 8)

I wrote a news about a little contest which I'll run for a month and a half or so, and post when they finish moving the server. I've promised some special prizes which I will code, especially if anyone comes up with anything decent. 8)
Hopefully we'll get something out of it. Won't hurt to try.

Told him I'd let the current owner know so we could re-add it when it was taken out.

That sounds great. I've got a few submissions for the blurb contest, that have given me some ideas. They aren't perfect but not a bad starting point. Is he just waiting for me to send him an e-mail? Or has sentience been removed from there already? I'll get on this asap as next week is spring break (i.e. mad time off) for me.

Told him to go ahead, so waiting on that now.

Hey guys,
Well a bit of an update on this – I actually got six or so entries for the blurb contest, not many but more than I expected. Some are actually half decent and they're all probably better than I'd be able to write. I'll pick the best one of the lot and put it up on our mudconnector/topmudsites listing, as well as http://www.sentiencemud.net as our site address.
By the way, this is a question for Areo, but did you ever hear any word from that Topmudsites guy? I think you're the only one out of both of us that managed to get a hold of him. I'd rather not let this drop since TMS is a fairly often visited database.

Our topmudsites entry from about 2000 was removed. We can put what we wish there now.

SUCCESS!!!
Areo, you will now my right hand man in executing the armies of incompetent webmasters. 8)
