Completely lost the gist of what's going on. I'll attempt a reply...

I didn't intend to admin down to *that* detail! Waaaay over the top for
me! My intention was to build a world, when coders construct an area,
they'll write a story on what, why, when, etc then code the area (all the
usual approval red tape and general admin vs. coder bitch, bitch, bitch).
If I could make time for it, I'll code an one off quest which I would then
run (dragging along a few coders to act out NPCs). I don't have
any individual quest plots readied, if the players go about changing the
landscape of the mud, I'll engineer a quest around the changes, or maybe
even take advantage of the changes and incorporate them (well, I think
I'll have to really).
At the end of the day, the result of the quests from the mud will end up
in my little universe. I can't write a story to save my life, so this is
the alternative.

I'm using tintin via Mac-based telnet. The scrollbars still disagree with
the program. It *could* be a program bug/feature.
Regarding naming my mud, I'm calling it Ren atm. Sometimes I call it
Bernard (generic name for anything I work on). Other times Bob. The mud
name, when/if it opens will be Renaissance but I don't think I'll name the
driver that for fear of being called pretentious.
PS: About support for the mailing list, an archive of all the past posts
will be extremely useful, esp considering the blitz on invitations.
PPS: If this is implemented, could it be split up by month? There's an
awful lot of postings going on each second.
