	LambdaMOO - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LambdaMOO was founded in 1990 by Pavel Curtis.
		Hosted in the state of Washington, it is operated and administered entirely on a volunteer basis.
		While the population of LambdaMOO once numbered close to 10,000 with over 300 actively connected at any time, these days it is rare to see more than a few dozen non-idle connected players at one time.

	A Rape in Cyberspace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bungle made use of the "voodoo doll" subprogram on LambdaMOO, which allowed him to attribute actions to other characters that their users did not write, and sexually violated a number of the other LambdaMOO characters.
		His actions incited outrage among the LambdaMOO community and brought up questions among users about the boundaries between real-life and virtual reality, which can be related to the movie eXistenZ, and how LambdaMOO should be (or should not be) governed.
		The users of LambdaMOO set up a meeting time on the third day after the event, which Dibbell attended under his character name, the pseudonym Dr. Bombay, to discuss what should be done about Mr.

		Bungle, and of the ghostly sexual violence he committed in the halls of LambdaMOO, and most importantly of the ways his violence and his victims challenged the 1000 and more residents of that surreal, magic-infested mansion to become, finally, the community so many of them already believed they were.
		It was all very fine, you see, for the LambdaMOO rabble to get it in their heads to liquidate one of their peers, but when the time came to actually do the deed it would require the services of a nobler class of character.
		But the wizards of LambdaMOO, after years of adjudicating all manner of interplayer disputes with little to show for it but their own weariness and the smoldering resentment of the general populace, had decided they'd had enough of the social sphere.

	LambdaMOO! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		LambdaMOO is a MOO: a MUD that uses an object-oriented programming language to manipulate objects in the virtual world.
		LambdaMOO appears as a series of interconnected rooms (modeled as a mansion), populated by users and objects who may move from room to room.
		LambdaMOO is thus a long-standing, ongoing experiment in collective programming and creation, with often stunning results that can only be fully appreciated firsthand.

		For example, LambdaMOO is rife with bulletin board-type forums that are accessible (as are their archives) by all community members, as well as guests to the site.
		LambdaMOO's anonymity, combined with what many LambdaMOO participants called the "typist problem," has always offered participants such plausible deniability with which to protect their real life identities.
		Since participants often keep their LambdaMOO participation secret from others in their physical space, the cyberspace activities they participate in attain the status of protected secrets, and secrets evoke a sense of participating in a liminoid situation.

	LambdaMOO Programmer's Manual - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		LambdaMOO is a network-accessible, multi-user, programmable, interactive system well-suited to the construction of text-based adventure games, conferencing systems, and other collaborative software.
		Such commands may cause changes in the virtual reality, such as the location of a character, or may simply report on the current state of that reality, such as the appearance of some object.
		The server is a program, written in a standard programming language, that manages the network connections, maintains queues of commands and other tasks to be executed, controls all access to the database, and executes other programs written in the MOO programming language.

		LambdaMOO was born in October 1990, the child of Pavel Curtis, a researcher at Xerox Park..
		LambdaMOO's arbitration system is staffed by volunteers; participants who have been a member of the community for at least four months may offer their services.

		This is an important incident in the history of LambdaMOO, and the publication of the article in somewhat different form in The Village Voice deeply affected the way non-MOOers and prospective MOOers perceive LambdaMOO.

	Public Literature: Narratives and Narrative Structures in Lambda MOO
		LambdaMOO (and similar sites based on LambdaCode) are malleable code- based structures where, as if participants lived in an intellectual equivalent of Home Depot, building materials are always within reach.
		When I looked for an appropriate place to "attach" it, (so that visitors to LambdaMOO would be able to stumble onto the work instead of having to teleport to it) I found that urban sprawl has placed limits on how things can be added to Lambda House and its environs.
		In contrast, this year many students immediately immersed themselves in LambdaMOO and were interested in locating themselves and their work within the model Deep Creek School.

		Because of the many ways in which MOO raises real issues and focuses on the relationships between people and their social surroundings, it is an ideal technology for the implementation and study of virtual communities.
		In the fall of 1991, LambdaMOO had grown so large that the job of allocating space to individual users was too much for the wizards (the MOO's version of system administrator or ``root'') to handle.
		The LambdaMOO wizards were spending a great deal of their time -- more than they wanted to -- dealing with troublesome users and interpersonal conflicts.

	An Introduction to MUDs and MOOs
		LambdaMOO is a kind of MUD: a text-based, multi-user virtual environment.
		LambdaMOO is like a good-sized village: there are nearly 10,000 registered players, around 200 of whom are likely to be online at any given moment.
		LambdaMOO and Dhalgren seem to attract a mixed population of counterculturally-inclined hackers, riot grrls, foot fetishists, s and m enthusiasts, sociologists researching life online, graduate students desperately trying to avoid working on their dissertations, and other such disaffected intellectual types.

		I think that the most important differentiation between LambdaMOO and the games that we were playing in class was a lack of restriction on how you interact.
		In LambdaMOO, there is no previous context for interaction – the entire point of being in the “game” is to interact, and so there is significantly more thought put into your persona and how you act towards others.
		And that is the dimension of LambdaMOO that I don’t believe I was able to be a part of as simply a visitor - not immersed in the actual community game play that spawns that type of emotional response.

	LambdaMOO Takes a New Direction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		We were a very small cadre of friends (I remember the jubilation we all felt the first time there were more than 10 people connected at once) working together to build something that maybe, just maybe, somebody else would find interesting enough to visit more than once.
		Part of the need for administrators is also inherent in the LambdaMOO security model and the organization of LambdaCore, while some of this need is a consequence of various quirks of LambdaMOO society (e.g., the correspondence between RL identities and MOO identities needing to remain secret and yet the need for someone to maintain it).
		We do not want to discourage lively debate or to deprive players of a voice, and we encourage all of you to develop new ideas, mechanisms, and social policies, so as to minimize the need for direct wizardly social intervention as much as possible.

		The job of interpreting those commands is shared between the two major components in the LambdaMOO system: the server and the database.
		This is one particular LambdaMOO database, created every so often by extracting the "core" of the current database for the original LambdaMOO.

		More specifically, it is about the "rape in cyberspace" incident that prompted LambdaMOO's founders to develop the domain's legal system.
		Dibbell gives you a good sense of the internal dynamics, feelings and personalities of LambdaMOO and how the "trial" and punishment of the perpetrator of the cybercrime took place.
		Based on the readings, the recognition by most members of LambdaMOO that the "rape in cyberspace" was similar to rape in the real world was an appropriate understanding and adaptation of law to the cyberspace environment.

	Mindjack - Stewart Butterfield Interview
		Based on the MUD Object Oriented code created by Pavel Curtis at PARC (whose test case, LambdaMOO, was the site of the "Rape In Cyberspace" of Julian Dibbell's famous article), MOOs fulfill the other side of the promise of immersive worlds (AKA cyberspace, the Metaverse, or whatever you want to call it).
		Like Pavel Curtis and the LambdaMOO wizards, we hope to abdicate much of the responsibility (and minutiae) of world cultural mechanics and maintenance to empowered players once we set the platform for narrative interaction in motion.
		In an attempt to avoid the gradual messiness that befell LambdaMOO after the introduction of its voting mechanism, we are implementing some low-level 'social balancing' mechanisms we hope will be somewhat self-correcting.

		The LambdaMOO logon screen reads: LambdaMOO is a new kind of society, where thousands of people voluntarily come together from all over the world.
		Byrd (whose character was “Intensity”) gave me a printout of LambdaMOO instructions, including useful commands in the margins, and suggested that I register a character.
		What interested me were the aspects of the MOO as a textual tool, a place of creative discovery, and the development of narrative and forms of personal expression in virtual space.
