MSB MU*?

[Rook]

Why does MSB not have a MUSH/MUX to hang out on?

The forums are great, but for conversations and such, a game would be nice to hang out on, too.

[Misadventure]

I'd offer one, but I would require an email address.

[Rook]

I personally am fine with that. I suspect you are making a stab at the whole "how to verify who is who" conversation?

[Collective]

It seems like things would get meta really quickly. For instance, wouldn't we have to set up a new site to complain about the MSB Mu?

[Rook]

Naw, just another channel.

I'd be afraid it would result in a drop in message traffic on the forum.

This would be my only real concern, yeah. Once you have a place to congregate in nigh real time, the forums start to suffer.

[Misadventure]

If I were to set this idea up, I would just lock @name and police aliases, and ask people for temp passwords for their character, then they would log in and reset the password. I would keep the initial passwords, and have a script log in and change the password in a week if not changed.

Except Arkandel. No Arkandel. Cuz he won't PL me in HC Seasonal D3.

[Lithium]

@Misadventure Everytime I've tried to PL someone in HC Seasonal, they invariably end up getting acid pool'd and instagibbed...

[Misadventure]

Yet you tried. Its on them to stay alive. Arkandel is all like "I don't play HC so I can't help youuuu, waaaah." And he is away, so can't defend himself.

[Lithium]

@Misadventure Anyone who can't Hardcore mode is afraid... /afraid/. So sad.

[Misadventure]

T70 first try: "Witness Meeeeeeeeeeeee!"

[Lithium]

@Misadventure Never made it that high because A) I don't have that much dedication to D3, and B) I always reach a point where I think I am God and then jump into waters to deep for my gear/character and end up going splat.

[SparklesTheClown]

If someone makes it, I'll come.

[Thenomain]

@Rook

Meh.

[SparklesTheClown]

@Thenomain Do it.

[Thenomain]

@HelloProject

Meh.

I'm not going to say it's going to decrease the forum, but it almost certainly will fragment discussion further. Someone says there are popular generic Mu* games out there, though besides Gateway I can't think of any, and even Gateway isn't that commonly used.

I simply have a "why?" question echoing through my head when trying to work out the utility of a Soapbox Mu*.

[SparklesTheClown]

@Thenomain Well, I think 8bit MUSH and MUS*H count, but who knows. I don't really hang out on any.

I think a MSB MU would be useful for a community hangout that's less effort than making a forum post.

How much effort is making a forum post? I mean, really.
