What did ya get? Diagnosis:
Over 440 points.........Gaah! The max is 440, gimme a break...
Over 320 points.........GURU!
Ouch, you've lost your soul to AberMUD. CU there..
230 - 319 points........What to say? I'm on this level and I did this test..
All those questions are made according to my
experiences. A real AberMUD addict...
160 - 229 points........Getting worse, but still curable. Signs of severe
addiction.... Stay away from things described here
and you'll probably save yourself from higher levels.
70 - 159 points.........Play MUD and enjoy it... You can do it :-)
But beware..
0 - 69 points...........Nothing to worry...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments:
30/08 One helluva work done for this - saving successful (backup copies??).
-Lor
10/12 modified this a bit - Lor probably kills me for that, but couldn't keep
my hands off (as usual) -Elmo
11/12 Lor didn't kill me... corrected points given from the last questions
-Elmo
12/12 Lor sent me extra q's written by himself and Damelon - added them
modified (I have an odd feeling that Lor is gonna do it slowly O:(
13/12 Friday the 13th - stayed the whole day lying under my bed.
14/12 Just came up into my mind... go play DIRT at ulrik.uio.no 6715
or 129.240.2.4 6715 ... It's a really good version of AberMUD.
Especially the 3.0 version... fast and has some good new zones.
