No thanks, lol. Not least because I've never heard of Gentoo. I assume it's some kind of os? And sideloading Tintin+ may be easy, but based on messages I've seen on here from you and others it's not just install-and-play. You have to download all kinds of other stuff just to get each mud to function properly. And I get the feeling it's not just optional packs of sound effects either. The files you need for Alter are different from those required by DiscWorld, just to name two examples. And you have to be careful where you grab them from if you want everyone running the latest version of everything.
