Alright, everyone, this would seem to be as good a time as any to make the grand announcement, so here goes nothing. Agora has a new MUD. It's almost completely empty at the moment, and the game mechanics are as of yet quite undefined. That being said, it does exist.
For the MUD to become more than a barren wasteland, Agorans will need to work to build new areas and program game mechanics. I am no great programmer myself, so while I will be happy to coordinate work, I will rely on the good people of Agora to implement most of the necessary software. To that end, I call upon anyone who has interest in either programming or simply building new areas to respond here. Users are welcome as well, but if we only have users and no developers, there will be nothing to use. The MUD is called Nomeria, and it is written in Python using the Evennia framework. The source code is here: https://github.com/AgoraNomic/Nomeria I will refrain from posting the address of the MUD for a few days, although if anyone wants to, they can probably work it out. There are two reasons: First, I would like to see who is interested in contributing before making the MUD public. Second, I will not have time to spend on this for the next few days. I'm mentioning this now because I anticipate having some time after the next few days. I would like to thank very much Jason Cobb for being the most amazing sysadmin I've ever had the pleasure of working with. :) As a final matter, with regard to the PM Election, my election speech follows: I'm bringing a MUD back to Agora. -Aris
