DIS: [MUD] New Agoran MUD

2019-12-22 Thread Aris Merchant
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.

Correction: the week was not as quiet as I thought. Here is an updated
weekly summary, still for 2019-12-09..15:


# Mailing list trouble

* For unknown technical reasons, some list subscribers stopped
  receiving messages from the list at some point during this week.
  Thread: "Message Test".


# Rules questions

* Falsifian judges CFJs 3780 and 3782, about whether a person who
  publishes an action as part of quoted text performs that action.

* G. submits a proposal with text beginning "I transfer 5 coins to each
  active player...", leading to some discussion about what the proposal
  would do if enacted. Thread: "I'm curious if this version works".


# Miscellaneous

* Ørjan solves a minor mistory about formatting issues with a ruleset
  recently published by Jason Cobb: it was related to "format=flowed"
  in the Content-Type header. (Thread: "[deputy-Rulekeepor] Short
  Logical Ruleset".)

Never mind; I eventually got "Yeah ... I was trying" at 03:59 UTC.

Yeah... I was trying to send from an unsubscribed address, but I
didn't realize that when sending from an alias, Gmail would keep my
normal address in the envelope.  Whoops.

I got both these messages, but GMail attached the note "This message
was not sent to Spam because of a filter you created." to omd's.

Notice of Honour:
+1 to Jason Cobb for publishing Rulekeepor reports.
-1 to Murphy for being flaky about ADoP duties. (I'm thankful to have

I do need to catch up on this account a lot more often. I also caught
the flu/whatever this past week, but it's basically passed now (down to
just a sore throat) and ADoP should be fully caught up within an hour.
