I've not actually assigned a name to my server. Way back in the dawns
of time it was named the "Black Hat MUD Server" due to my penchant for
fedoras, but that only lasted for the first couple weeks of
development. Since then it was called "Murkle" for all of about a
week, and then nothing. I guess I ought to name it some day.

Hehn. I actually make no distinction among players, mobiles, rooms,
objects, utility objects, etc. There are just no unique object types.
They're all the same to the server.

How do you handle your liquids? I have liquids which just do ajacent
space counts ala "There are X units of liquid here, and Y units over
there, to even things out X-Y/2 need to move..." etc. This often
resulted in one unit ripples, but was prerty tame for handling
stream-type flows.

That won't last here.
