I love this mud. I've played for over 4 years, and enjoyed it
immensely. Rp is easy to get involved with, as long as you're not
acting like an idiot when there's serious business at hand.
Pk is fairly balanced, and the imbalances are being worked on all
the time. The owner works harder at it, his HOBBY, than most people
do their BLOODY JOBS. Recently, I heard that several reports of
unfair practices had been lodged against Animud. I may be the most
frequently punished player of late, and yet I kept playing each time.
Why? Because I knew, even though I was mad as all get out, that I
really did deserve what I got, even when some of my characters were
denied or received a few slays. It can be tough to rp leading an
evil guild that tries and succeeds at dominating pk for a time and
not stray over the bounds of good taste and make people leave. And
conversely, not just sit around and talk trash. Tenchi helped me try
and stay active by running some of the best rp Ive ever been involved
in. Also, by keeping Daioh in check so we didn't ruin the whole mud's
fun. There were times we drove each other nuts trying to find a
balance, but I think we succeded. I think that because of the times
I did stuff that was over the line and was slain, or had a character
denied for a time, or even a few that got deleted, I, more than
anyone else, would be the one to complain of unfair practices.
Instead, I'm telling all of you that those accusations are complete
bull.
If you like muds with a small community atmosphere, then I heartliy
recommend Animud. I've been proud to play, and I heartily thank
Tenchi for the past four years.
