This is the unofficial mailing list archive for a little MUCK I used to be on. It was shut down (well, actually the list is still technically in existence but all the members have been removed) after a long period of inactivity, but before that happened a lot of good ideas (some of which have still to be implemented) and general wackiness had seen the light, and I had in fact already started working on this archive site.
Now, however, there is apparently no chance of reviving it, so I have made a kind of final version of this little collection and removed the 'join list' and 'post' links that used to be at the top of each page. The links to join and visit the muck are still there and will remain as long as the muck exists - and then until I find out about it; I don't go there as often any more... (You can also read about when I left and to some extent why.)
Oh well, here are the files anyway, and like most HTML pages things should be pretty self explanatory, so I'll just shut up and list the files. If you haven't been here before, starting at the beginning is recommended.
Okay, you may wonder why the files are numbered in increments of five.
The reason is that I have been rearranging messages a bit to make them
appear in the order they were written. You know how mailers can get confused
about this kind of thing some times... There are two messages that appear
from the dates to be in the wrong place. If you take a closer look you
will find that one of them was written by a player who had been messing with
his system clock, and I have inserted it before the first answer to it.
The other message that appears (from the dates) to be out of sequence
is a reply to a message written right after midnight in Europe. The reply
was actually written the day before in America!
I recently (summer 2K) discovered another message that was out of sequence,
and rather than renumber the whole row again I just let it keep its
original name and just fixed the links.
Anyway, if you find some more messages that are out of sequence on the same
day, let me know and I'll rearrange
them a bit.
Oh yes, for the specially interested: The reason for the date format switch
at message 730 is that the messages up to that point were extracted from a
mail file I got from Myrla. After that the messages were converted from
my own copies. More details in the messages writen during that period.
(Okay, how does that change anything? The messages from Myrla's collection
start with "From -" followed by the date in American (?) format. My messages
don't have that line so I had to modify the converter program to read the
Date field instead to make the filenames.)
This archive being done in two parts also explains why there are two numbers
"missing" - there was a little overlap between the two collections
that I missed the first time I looked through everything, and rather than
renumber the last part again I just left the gap for now.
