Feel free to post.

I hear that there's free chicks and food.  That's why I'm here.  Chicks and Food.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

I know some people who play, and one of my friends has been talking about it a lot recently. And I was looking for a MUD with a different roleplaying style. Sooooo ... here I am. We'll see if I stay.
 hate everything. No really.

The free ramen noodles?

I'm not a new player, but I've been off and on.

>drop pants
You do not have that item.

Yeah, it was the chicks and food that hooked me, too. :\



Actually, one of my friends from a different mud directed me here, when we were having a long conversation about the state of rp on our old mud.
eeling YB, you think:
    "I can't believe I just said that."

And then you two made me do it. You are evil.

(Hi, Selie - glad to see you made it~)

I keep coming back for the links to goatse.

Permanent death. That alone had a very nice appeal to it.
A staff member sends:
     "I hate you. :p"

I was lost.  And I found myself here.  And I still could find my way back.
some of my posts are serious stuff

I heard about the mud through the gaming community, but never really took the time to check it out. Then I found myself between mud's so I was checking out a couple of mudding sites, and saw Arm listed at both of 'em, read up on it - and was totally engrossed by what I saw.

So I guess numerous things brought me here, but the role-playing, and the atmosphere of Zalanthas is what has kept me here.

Matt.

One would fathom that years of laborious endeavors without any positive results would deter you from the game.

Mudsex. That Delir... never mind.

The amazing writing.  Room descs, NPC descs, the reality of it.
Well done.  I logged in one night and just couldn't go back.

It's all about the world and the roleplay. I got those two things and I could live forever.
Here is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen.  -   Sean O'Faolain

The feel of it all, and the pure evil that every character must have at least a handful of if they intend to survive.
The fact that nobody really cares about justice or truth or freedom.
The knowledge that the PC philanthropists, if any ever existed, are rare and more often than not forced into hiding.

The general lack of kindness, which overall breeds much more believeable characters.

I have to admit my AD&D group (this was years ago, when still played) freaked out when I transported them to a place with ankle biters. Heh.
They loved it.  Only managed to get one of them online, though. :-(

Permenant character death brought me here. The concept of a game with real consequences, in which every battle carries a risk.

As a player I'd have to say I fall into either bartle's "killer" quadrant, or his "explorer" quadrant. Hence the concept of a game with consequences showed a certain appeal. Hence Ive decided to join and am currently applying for my first character. Woo.

The reason I stayed.
There was a Templar, Who we will call Masiki (did I get the spelling right on there?), he got my first favorite PC killed.
Then, there was a templar named Kishime, he got my second favorite PC killed.
Then, another templar, who I can't name, got my third favorite PC killed.

So, I am just waiting til this:
Armageddon Wars:
The Templar strikes back.
-or-
Revenge of the Templar.

Arm is evil.  And I love it.  It's like the softest, cuddliest, happy smelling teddy bear in the world, except it is stuffed with meth needles that inject you everytime

Oh, let me hop on with you. I can't wait either.  :lol:

I like the feeling of reading a great novel everytime I play, keeps me coming back.

The only thing I don't like about permadeath is the griefers that it brings.  The people who are only out to find anyone with an interesting character and kill it on them..

The most basic reason I am staying here is that whenever I want to get the feeling of a perfect roleplaying environment without needing four more people (including one Game Master), I can get my dose just clicking to the connect button on my mud client's window.

Above was my basic reasoning and I believe this next sentence outlines why I will stay here for more many years eventhough I know that I have to give some breaks in the future =>

"I don't think nor believe that there ever will be another game, which can be as complete as Armageddon Mud."

Strong statement, but it is true  :wink:.

I believe I know the answer to that question now.
