Re: [Audyssey] Is Mudding for Me?

Hi. It sounds more like a spacial concept issue more than anything. Not 
retarded, nothing wrong with you, other than your brain just probably 
does not process spacial concepts very well.


On a basic level, if someone says that an object is 30 feet in front of 
you, under the table and to the right of the leg of a chair, can you 
picture in your head where that is without actually going there?

Hey all,

Well, I've attempted to start on Discworld once again. I haven't yet, 
but I was sitting at the login prompt, thinking. Ever since leaving 
Alter Aeon, I've always had this problem about not memorizing where 
things are where I want to go, and in the past I always asked, and 
either I didn't get help, was taken there, etc, usually taken there. The 
problem with that is is that people speedwalk areas when I follow them, 
so it's like wo, where am I going and how do I get there? In discworld, 
of course, I always used to reley on those earchans that would take you 
to guilds and things. I was fine with that, but getting back was a 
problem, attempting to walk anyway. I hate using the godmother when it's 
such a short distance and I can walk there.


And I guess the reason I like disc is for it's complex gameplay. It's 
not just some mud where you can type kill orc and watch the fight. I 
just hate asking for directions to places, and going in random 
directions really doesn't help me either, and I say that for all big 
muds. Oh, I also like Disc because of the amount of websites and players 
and the whole community.


I just find it hard to memorize something that, along the line, if 
there's 14 exits in a room, leading off somewhere, which is the right one.


Than again, it seems I have this problem with fighters and consoles too, 
do a combo and five seconds later forget what I did and have to look at 
the move list again.


And on Christmas, it'll probably be even worse for Rock Band because 
I'll have to remember evenmore than a fighter or anything like that lol. 
Yet I do good in school so it's not some mentally retarded issue or 
anything, or at least I hope not...

Hi there.  How about, when you do figure out the right moves, like the right 
ways to go, or anything that helps you recognise where you are, how about 
writing them in Notepad, or Word or something like that?  I quite often 
write notes in a file in Wordpad, so I can have it open at the same time as 
mudding, and add to the document or follow what I have done before.
Hope this helps.
Kirstan.
