So. Who all here's been driven far enough to register an account on a major MUCK? If you know the right people, it's nonstop drama. Really... inconsequential drama. But entertaining if you're depressed enough to watch pathetic losers waste ten hours a day to call each other names. And with the right MUCK you get real time lunacy from: Xydexx, Groat, Kelly Price, Winger, and many many others!

But I digress. Anyone?

I did, but I gave it up for lent. I think I have an account on 'Fluff' still. I think I logged in, uh, in 2002.

I basically idle for 4 hours a night on IRC while I'm doing other stuff... I can't imagine bothering registering for a MUCK

I had an account a REALLY long time ago, and would log in randomly (about once every 2 months or so) until finally my account got deleted for inactivity. FurryMUCk is fucking gigantic. I remember not really knowing anything more than the basic movement commands, and I just went to explore randomly.

I remember being in some restaurant run by NPC pandas, then finding a teleporter which took me to some forest. I wandered around the forest until I found a well, and I somehow fell in and it dropped me into the australian outback. It literally felt like the outback, since I wandered around aimlessly without meeting anyone else. I think I somehow managed to find a pond, and waded into the pond where it took me somewhere else.

Later with a bit more help from a muck-wise friend, I wandered around and wound up in some underground sex bazaar. I logged out, not knowing my character just sat there. Someone else told me people were doing weird things with my sleeping form, so I logged back in only to find out I had been relocated to some weird hotel. I wandered out of there and basically just plundered around cluelessly until I got bored.

I seriously don't remember ever stopping to talk to anyone, and even though I tried to find the more famous locales (WCOTP, some weird gay bar, etc) I never could find any of them. It was actually a really cool experience IMO. I would get invited to friend's apartments and they would have all kinds of bizzare tricks and tomfoolery set up. I was sincerely impressed. Most of the time I wasn't sure if I was dealing with scripted NPC's or actual other real people. I think in all my wanderings I never found the same places twice, even though I would look for them.

I haven't checked the chat rooms in a good while, but as I remember, IRC gives you all of the MUCK drama without the hassles of authentication and all. For real idiocy, try Furcadia... buncha Linkin Park cutters in butterfly wings sitting around in a yiff area talking about how happy they'll be when they're old enough to move out of their parents' house.

That's probably not nearly as idiotic as the fact there are people paying exurbanite amounts of money just to be Gryphins, Pheonixes and Dragons, or have a few extra pixels strapped to their backs.

Furc I admit is somewhat fun (when I'm not doing something more meaningful), but I fail to see why people pay so much for add-ons to what is basicly a big graphic chat room.

Furc's hardly interesting. Hundreds of 14 year old girls pretending to be edgy, and NightKrawler? Yeah, IRC is pretty drama-riffic, but you can get idiocy... for Chrissakes, this is the Internet. You can't swing a dead fox without slapping some tard. FM is where the established tards hang out. Where the rich and famous loiter and panhandle for attention.

Subversive: Nothing escapes the reach of the teleportation program, which renders all exploration useless and comparitively backwards. A handy 'whereare' program highlights the centers of drama and depravity. And the page program lets you reach out and insult someone from a world away.

Stoneth: You know it, baby.
