	TinyMUD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		TinyMUD is the name both of a certain implementation of a Multi-User Dungeon server, and the first MUD run using that implementation.
		The TinyMUD server was originally written by James Aspnes in mid-to-late 1989.
		He announced the availability of the first TinyMUD on August 19, 1989; seven months later, on April 29, 1990, he announced TinyMUD's closure (due to the process size exceeding the memory limit on the host system).

		Note that this list is not complete, and that it may contain errors in fact or judgement, but is deemed pretty much right as of this writing.
		The majority of the muds in the miscellaneous category are not combat-oriented muds at all, and indeed many take after TinyMUD in most things.
		However, as these muds are not a direct derivative of the original TinyMUD code, I've stuck them in their own category.

	5. Reviews: Internet MUDs -- Interactive Multi-User Computer Games
		TinyMUD was prompted by a 1989 discussion on Internet, and drew on LPMUD to abstract an idealised notion of what made MUAs important.
		TinyMUDs are indeed limited only by the imagination of the builder -- with heavy emphasis on the word "limited".
		TinyMUD is not so much a MUA as a forum for conversation where participants have pinned short pieces of prose on the wall for the benefit of anyone with the inclination to read them.

		While TinyMUD wasn't the first MUD (note), its ease of use and portability to many Unix systems caused an explosion of MUD popularity that hasn't yet waned.
		When they didn't, and he kept it running, many players chose to believe that TinyMUD, and their investment in building, would last indefinitely (or at least until they graduated and lost net access).
		TinyMUD's restriction on the number of objects a player can build was a simple monetary system.

		To send a line which begins with a slash to TinyMUD, you must start the line with two slashes.

		An example would be: TinyMUD MyCharacter MyPassword daisy.learning.cs.cs.cmu 4201 This line (which, if used in a configuration file, should not have any leading spaces) would define the world TinyMUD.

	Introduction to TinySEUSS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		TinyMUD was one of the first text-based virtual-world servers (see Introduction to Text-Based Virtual Worlds) on the Internet.
		Although TinyMUD was not the first MUD (Multi-User Dungeon), it quickly became a popular server for virtual worlds to run.
		Since the source for TinyMUD was both public and free, it allowed for MUD administrators or wizards (generally speaking, the people who maintained the virtual world) to change the way the virtual world worked.

		TinyMUD is one of several variants of the MUD concept, with two distinctive characteristics:
		The game is extensible from within; that is, new locations and objects can be created by players within the virtual world without modifying the game server itself.
		Technically, TinyMUSH - one of several variants of TinyMUD that extend the basic MUD concept with an intrinsic programming language to permit complex automated interaction between players and objects within the world.

		After MOO, tinymuds seem so awkward and # primitive to me. Not at all.
		I run a tinymud-like server with a db of 17k objects, and my interset in Cold was that I could somehow convert the db over.
		But this would require at a minimum that the tinymud commands are still available.

	Croaker's TinyMUSH Manual, Chapter 1
		This problem was solved in MUSH by using more efficient methods of data storage as well as the implementation of a destroy command, which allowed for the removal of unwanted objects from the database.
		A quick nomenclature of objects in MUSH (in hopes of establishing up a standard.) An object which is under the direct control of a player and/or is relaying what it hears back to its owner is called a puppet.
		If you have never been on a TinyMUD (or one of its derivatives) before, it is highly recommended that you get a manual on TinyMUD and learn the basic commands before you try any of the advanced material in this manual.

		The players on TinyMUD were all radically different types of people interacting with eachother, and it was fun.
		TinyMUD went down right before I left in the spring, and was resurrected as an undead corpse, and eventually run by Bruce, who ruined it.

	Chatterbots, Tinymuds, and the Turing Test
		The CHATTERBOT succeeds in the TINYMUD world because it is an unsuspecting Turing test, meaning that the players assume everyone else playing is a person, and will give the CHATTERBOT the benefit of the doubt until it makes a major gaffe.
		The best two examples of typed conversational interaction today are network communications (TINYMUD and INTERNET Relay Chat), and the Loebner Prize, and only the Loebner Prize competition is committed to providing unbiased judges and a double-blind judging scheme to validate the results.
		This tension is present in our own program: in the TINYMUD world, the robot is most useful when answering stylized questions in a somewhat computer-like fashion.

	A Classification of MUDs
		TinyMUD was heavily influenced by Monster, a VMS game written by Rich Skrenta, by the IRC version of Wumpus and by AberMUD.
		Some muds (such as TinyMUD and its derivatives) permit users to build new rooms and objects on a grand scale; indeed one might even call this their raison d'etre.
		The Socialisers and Explorers in Bartle (1996) are attracted to muds in the TinyMUD mould, and that the Achievers and Killers are drawn to Dikus and AberMUDs.

		Yet it did, and the reaction was so extreme that despite lasting less than a year, the original TinyMUD, often referred to as "Classic", attained the stature of legend, the place where the world, the worlds, were created.
		I have a copy of the TinyMUD database sitting on my own machine, taking up so little room I often forget I have it when it comes time to settle some argument about who did what or where or when.
		So it was not long before someone was able to bring TinyMUD back from limbo, using most of the resources of their machine at the time, just for a day or two.

		In 1989 TinyMUD was created by Jim Aspnes, a graduate student at CMU.
		As opposed to the hack-n-slash feel of AberMuds and combat-oriented LPMuds, TinyMUD was created for players to hang out, converse and build virtual worlds together.
		From the freeform nature of TinyMud emerged many other forms including: MUSH, MUCK, MUSE, MOO and Mux.
