	Basic Information about MUDs and MUDding
		Some MUDs have a policy called "registration" to cut down on abuse of privileges; you might have to send mail to the God/Wizard of the MUD in order to obtain a character.
		However, there is nothing preventing the MUD's owner from modifying the code to dump the passwords to a file, along with other information such as the host you connected from.
		MUDSex is the act of performing MUD actions to imitate having sex with another character, usually consentually, sometimes with one hand on the keyboard, sometimes with two.

	Mud volcano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mud volcano may be the result of a piercement structure created by a pressurized mud diapir which breaches the Earth's surface or ocean bottom.
		Mud volcanoes are often associated with petroleum deposits and tectonic subduction zones and orogenic belts.
		Mud volcanoes are often associated with lava volcanoes, and the typical relationship is that where they are close, the mud volcanoes emit incombustible gases, while the ones further away emit methane.

	MUD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MUDs often have a fantasy setting, while many others are set in science fiction-based universe or themed on popular books, movies, animations, history, etc. Still others, especially those which are often referred to as MOOs, are used in distance education or to allow for virtual conferences.
		In Europe at around the same time, MUD development was centered around academic networks, particularly at the University of Essex where they were played by many people, both internal and external to the University.
		This MUD was 2.5-D game running on 512x512 plasma panels of the PLATO system, and groups of up to 15 players could enter the dungeon simultaneously and fight monsters as a team.

	What is a MUD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Regardless of what it stands for, a MUD is an online environment where multiple users are logged on and interacting with one and other.
		On other MUDs you can also interact with a game world where you can explore, fight monsters, and collect treasure, either alone or in the company of other players that are logged on.
		The first MUD was written by Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle at Essex University in 1979 on a DECsystem-10.

	Multi-User Dimension (MUD) - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Multi-User Dimension (MUD)
		MUD players typically have to solve puzzles, avoid traps, fight other participants and carry out various tasks to achieve their goals.
		The first MUD was called MUD, and was written by British programmers Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle to run on a DEC System 10 mainframe at the University of Essex, England, in 1979.

	Early MUD History
		So the writing of that first MUD was basically a team effort, and the way Roy and I expect to see it described is "MUD was created and written by Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle at Essex University in the UK", or words to that effect.
		MUD only had one database for the first couple of years, then I took out all the "generic" bits (eg.
		There are at least two MUDs that, according to their authors, are currently being written and will be the greatest hoopiest most whiz-bang games to ever hit the earth.

	Definition of MUD
		The first MUDs appeared in 1978, and their popularity escalated in the USA during the 1980s, when (relatively speaking) cheap, home personal computers with 300 to 2400 baud modems enabled role players to log into multi-line BBSes.
		A version of MUD is still running at www.british-legends.com and a version of its descendant MUD2 runs at www.mud2.com or www.mudii.co.uk.
		The majority of RPI MUDs are levelless and classless, focusing instead on skills and crafts that players may pursue during the lifetime of their characters.

	Big Ball of Mud
		BIG BALL OF MUD might be thought of as an anti-pattern, since our intention is to show how passivity in the face of forces that undermine architecture can lead to a quagmire.
		Brian Marick first suggested the name "BIG BALL OF MUD" as a name for these sort of architectures, and the observation that this was, perhaps, the dominant architecture currently deployed, during a meeting of the University of Illinois Software Architecture Group several years ago.
		BIG BALL OF MUD architectures often emerge from throw-away prototypes, or THROWAWAY CODE, because the prototype is kept, or the disposable code is never disposed of.

	jargon, node: MUD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Historically, MUDs (and their more recent progeny with names of MU- form) derive from a hack by Richard Bartle and Roy Trubshaw on the University of Essex's DEC-10 in the early 1980s; descendants of that game still exist today and are sometimes generically called BartleMUDs.
		There is a widespread myth (repeated, unfortunately, by earlier versions of this lexicon) that the name MUD was trademarked to the commercial MUD run by Bartle on British Telecom (the motto: "You haven't lived 'til you've died on MUD!"); however, this is false -- Richard Bartle explicitly placed `MUD' in the public domain in 1985.
		Around 1991 there was an unsuccessful movement to deprecate the term MUD itself, as newer designs exhibit an exploding variety of names corresponding to the different simulation styles being explored.

	Define MUD - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: Multi-User Dungeon

		MUD participants adopt a character or avatar when they join or log in to a MUD.

	MUD INFO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Most MUDs support navigation via commands such as "north", "south", "ne" (north-east), "up", "down", "enter room", etc. As the user enters a room, the MUD issues a text description of the room, a list of people/agents/objects in the room and a list of other places that you can go to from there.
		Some MUDs allow you to catch trains or planes to navigate from one town to another, which is generally faster that "walking" from one site to another.
		Beyond the MUD engine and its language, the character of a MUD is also defined by libraries of objects, rooms and behaviors known as MudLibs.
