Re: [blind-gamers] I am reaching out for help finding games I want to play
Heh, me too, I use tintin on linux for most mudding. I used to use one called muddle, until it quit compiling with the later versions of linux. I could probably fix it if I wanted to dig into the code enough, but it's easier to just stick with something that works, and although tintin was initially intended for diku style muds which I generally avoid, it still works well for most muds. Again, like your gmud, it's mostly a telnet client with scripting capabilities, which I never use, mostly because I never found a manual explaining the scripting, but it does work for aliases and actions, which I do use, otherwise, it's no different from plain telnet, which I do still use from time to time if I don't feel like logging into my linux boxes first.

Re: [blind-gamers] I am reaching out for help finding games I want to play
I agree with you 100% regarding role-playing. It's just not my thing. I don't have the sufficient imagination for it, and typically, I just go on muds to distress and, as I call it, gleefully run around killing things. I think that's another reason I love this world so much. Maybe role-playing is encouraged to an extent, but I've never once experienced a situation where I was punished for not being able to do that. > On Dec 2, 2020, at 1:09 PM, Travis Siegel wrote: > > > If it's muds you're after, 3k is a decent one, (3k.org 3000), or it's sister > mud at 3scapes.org Many ports are available, for 3k and 3scapes, 3scapes > started out as a clone of 3k, but it's since evolved into it's own entity.

Mud rammer is what I have on my iPhone 8 plus. I logged into Discworld during a portion of my lunch break, and it seemed to work perfectly. What kind of issue were you having?

Re: [blind-gamers] I am reaching out for help finding games I want to play
If it's muds you're after, 3k is a decent one, (3k.org 3000), or it's sister mud at 3scapes.org Many ports are available, for 3k and 3scapes, 3scapes started out as a clone of 3k, but it's since evolved into it's own entity. I personally hate muds where roll play is mandetory. I don't mind ones where it's encouraged, but ones where it's mandetory just irks the hell out of me, because those are generally ones based on either diku style muds, or mush style ones, neither one of which I really care for all that much, and having to stay in character all the time just because or you'll get repremanded, up to and including loosing your character is just too much for me. I work hard enough to advance my character, and to loose it because some idiot decides I'm not roll playing my character well enough just isn't my thing, and before you ask, yes that has happened to me, so I ignore roll play required muds like the plague. I also tend to avoid muds where admins are jerks, because it's always likely you'll run into him/her/it at some point, and I'm not one for keeping my mouth shut, and that's lost me characters too over the years. I also hate the muds where commands don't follow the natural progression muds have built up over the last 40 years of mudding etiquette, because if you've played those muds where the commands were standard, and you do manage to get your character to a high enough level that you can actually tackle risky mobs, then because of some stupid command words that don't match the rest of the mudding world, you can't heal your character because you can't remember the command to heal it, then you loose levels, xp, and life counts just because some idiot admin thought it would be cute to make their command set different from 99 percent of the other muds out there, and poof, all that hard work you've put into the character is lost just like that. Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with muds adding unique areas/commands/characters, (lost souls is a really good example of this), but when those custom commands prevent me from doing the thing that is required for no other reason than the admins liked the idea of being different, that frustrates me enough that I won't play that mud ever again, and yes, that's happened to me too. But I guess when you've been mudding for more than 30 years, these kinds of things happen from time to time. I used to absolutely love lostsouls.org, but several years ago, they expanded the mud so much, it probably trippled in size. Nothing wrong with that, but now it's impossible for me to find anything, even when I know where it used to be. Even some of the roads they have don't lead anywhere, because the expansion just dropped them into a grasslands that goes nowhere. After getting lost several times trying to go to well-known places, I gave up on that mud too, which was a shame, because I really liked that one, and had played it for over 20 years by the time I gave up on it. It's hard to know what you'll like, and what you won't, until you try a few places, don't be afraid to check into the mud connector, dig out muds that look interesting, and give them a shot. If it turns out you don't like one, that's ok, there's hundreds of them out there, keep looking until you find one you like. Of course, then you may spend years and years advancing your character only to have it become so frustrating you absolutely have to bail, but at least you can enjoy it while it lasts. I'm rather picky about the muds I will play now, but I used to play everything and anything I could find, no matter what it was, until my frustration factor got overruled by stupid/irrelevant items, at which point I left that mud, and moved on. Of course, those items will be different for each person, and there's nothing saying what bugs the hell out of me won't thrill the next person, so take each review of a mud with a grain of salt, knowing it's presented through the perspective of the person who wrote it. The number one rule of mudding is to have fun, if you try a mud and like it, have at it, if you try one and don't like it, no reason to hang around not enjoying yourself, move along and find something else. Sometimes I'll play a mud, get tired of it, move on, then years later, come back, and enjoy myself again, it's a constant battle to keep yourself entertained, so don't scrimp on the choices you have. I.E. don't skip trying a mud just because it doesn't have a blind friendly interface, most muds can be made to be more friendly with some work, and most (to be perfectly honest) really don't need a separate blind user friendly interface if you know what you're doing, but for some, that extra touch by the admins to make it friendly to blind users makes the mud that much more attractive to some players, and that's fine, but don't discount a mud just because it doesn't have one.

I've used MudRammer before, but yeah, it definitely helps to have a Windows computer with a good MUD client, like Mush-client, with a sound pack if the MUD has one.

Re: [blind-gamers] I am reaching out for help finding games I want to play
I have never seriously tried to play a mud on my iPhone. I have a mud client, I think, but I can't even remember the last time I used it. what iPhone software are you trying to use to play muds? In theory, though, especially if you have a Bluetooth keyboard, it should work exactly the same as it would in windows or anything else, or at least I think that would be the case. I know there are quite a few players on discworld who use a screen reader, but I don't know how many of them are trying to play from an I device. I could try to play a little bit with my Bluetooth keyboard and see what happens. I, personally, use an antique program called G mud under windows 10. There are some jaws Scripps that make it work very well, so I would only want to play on my phone if I could be guaranteed a similar experience.

Re: [blind-gamers] I am reaching out for help finding games I want to play
You've got it absolutely correct! :-) i've been playing there more or less regularly since 2005 or so. I just started a new character a couple of months ago, so it's been fun to revisit some of the quests. > On Dec 2, 2020, at 5:35 AM, Yusuf Osman wrote: > > Is this the game you are talking about? > http://discworld.starturtle.net/lpc/ > Yusuf > -Original Message- > From: blind-gamers@groups.io On Behalf Of Missy Hoppe > Sent: 02 December 2020 09:58 > To: blind-gamers@groups.io > Subject: Re: [blind-gamers] I am reaching out for help finding games I want > to play > > I would highly recommend the Discworld mud.

I would highly recommend the Discworld mud. You should be able to find the address fairly easily. If not, I will try to get it out of my mud client and share it here in a separate message. I think it would check all of your boxes.
