	Mud Connector Introduction
		Most of the muds you will find listed on the MUD Connector are indeed games and because of this we will try to introduce some of the more common forms you will find here.
		The first mud was created by Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle at Essex University in 1979 (for those interested, the now obsolete predecessor to the C language, BCPL was used for development, with some assembly language routines used).
		A resident may choose to talk with people in one of the many public rooms, hide away in one of their own private rooms, join a channel for discussion, or chat with a group of friends over the infamous friendtells.

		Some people even cheered as the heavens opened on the first day, while many bravely faced the conditions - bare chested.
		But while the entrance - where we're given programmes, special fl bracelets, maps and bin bags (which all fall immediately in the mud) - is beautifully organised, the tepee village (an hour's muddy hike from the car park) is less so.

	Richard A. Bartle: Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud
		What you will be able to get is some sort of package explaining to you all you ever wanted to know about the game, and access details on how to contact the host computer over some network.
		You follow these instructions and there you are, in a game with 100 other people, who are also sitting at home playing on the mainframe via their own micros.
		The former is a description of the world, what will happen if people type certain things, and what will happen of its own accord whether you do anything or not.

	Elephant MUD People
		Many people think they can just boot up a stock mud, make all their mates wizards, run around on a power trip for ages and sit back and wait to lap up the praise.
		Muds only survive due to the commitment and enthusiasm of the people who run them, and at times I wonder how this small group of people can be so hostile to the people who give up their time to make it all happen, while claiming to care about the mud at all.
		Elephant Mud is very rare in that it avoids these problems almost completely, and it is for this reason that our players stay for the long periods of time that they do.

	The History of Badlands
		The mud itself was great and had hundreds of ingenious things worked into it, making it one of the best muds I have played.
