The dead_souls intermud channel
|
|
|
|
There is an internet communication protocol that
|
|
allows muds to send and receive information from each other. This
|
|
is called the Intermud network, of which there are several
|
|
versions and subnets.
|
|
|
|
By default, your mud is connected to the Intermud3
|
|
network, or I3 (see intermud.org for specs). On this
|
|
network there are numerous channels available: some are
|
|
friendly, some are hostile, some are invitation-only, and
|
|
some are open to all.
|
|
|
|
Unless your admins have disabled intermud, or you
|
|
are tightly firewalled, or channels have been restricted,
|
|
you probably are listening to a channel called "dead_souls".
|
|
This channel exists to allow creators on Dead Souls muds
|
|
on the internet to talk, ask questions, share ideas, etc.
|
|
|
|
Random chat is not exactly discouraged, but code
|
|
questions and discussions always have priority on this
|
|
channel. It can be used socially, but its primary purpose
|
|
is as a support system for the Dead Souls community.
|
|
Accordingly, muds that spam the channel, or subject it
|
|
to malicious data or metadata, are likely to be permanently
|
|
banned from it, regardless of whether it was the fault of
|
|
just one jerk. Messages of an offensive nature also
|
|
qualify as bannable material, and this is at the discretion
|
|
of the owner of the channel, which is the Dead Souls mud.
|
|
|
|
If you need to perform channel testing, please avoid
|
|
using the dead_souls channel ( also known as <ds> ) for
|
|
this. A special testing channel has been set up for that
|
|
purpose. It is called ds_test, and you can add it to
|
|
yourself by typing:
|
|
|
|
%^GREEN%^call me->AddChannel("ds_test")%^RESET%^
