&gt;&gt; &gt;Nothing. For that player, the game is over. That is NOT to say that
&gt;&gt; &gt;it's badly designed, nor that this isn't a huge problem. I spot an
&gt;&gt; &gt;assumed orthodoxy here.
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; Yes, much the like assumed orthodoxy that MUD users want to play
&gt;&gt; heros.  Nightmare provides a perfect case in point to demonstrate the
&gt;&gt; fallacy of that one.

&gt;The fishermen class? Yes, that's cool. There ARE people who want to
&gt;sit around all day fishing, though I'm surprised that they like to do
&gt;it virtually.

Yeppirs.  Per Reese they sit and fish _and_ tell stories.

&gt;I've been thinking a bit recently about what different players get
&gt;out of muds. I'll start a new thread on that, called Beyond Zork.

&lt;squirm&gt;  You realise that with topic names like that I am going to
have kill you?

&gt;&gt; &gt;Which "Legend" is everyone referring to?
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; mud.aus.sig.net 9999

&gt;Ok. I'll check it out.

Hit the web site.  Also check out the skills document and other
archives.  They've had some good stuff there.

&gt;&gt; &gt;Hmmm ... I smell the festering seeds of my next controversial
&gt;&gt; &gt;research  paper here ... :)
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; Fertilise, fertilise, fertilise.

&gt;?

Make 'em seeds grow.
