As usual, Top Mud Sites, Mud Connector, and from a friend remain the most common places people said they heard about us.  Some new trends this year, though:

About 70 accounts mentioned the Wikipedia article.

About 40 accounts mentioned the relatively new site, rpimud.com

Yay Wikipedia!

Nope.

Myself was a friend who suggested it. Been hooked-on-arm ever since.

I was fiddling around on Imperian when I said I wanted more roleplay.  Someone pointed me here.  I don't play Imperian anymore.
Any questions, comments, or condemnations to an eternity of fiery torment?

Got sick of Dragonrealms, searched the mud connector for something with role play required and permadeath.

Found it.

Roommate started playing and I just started bothering her to see what she was doing. She told me about all sorts of fun adventures. I blame her.

She said she found it by googling something like "mud +pvp +permadeath."
And I vanish into the dark
And rise above my station

I was wandering in the university lab, sad and head dipped. I saw Garee and Koala playing a strange game there. I said "Hi, what are you playing?" And then, you know...

I got bored of a lame H&S MUD named Greystone. Then I found Armageddon in TopMUDSites. To confess, I kept on playing Greystone for half a year more, till I wrote a script that plays on her own. (Don't know how some immortal didn't realize it and ban me.)
Then I realized if I'm to play a game, I should play something a bot can't perform. So I started playing Armageddon.

Then Cenghiz got all of us Turkish players into arm.

Seriously.
some of my posts are serious stuff

I hooked you so bad now it's like a drug.

Mordaga, my brother, got me into it.  The bastard.

A fellow staffer from another mud pointed me to Arm. Then we eloped here.

I don't always act superior... but when I do it's on the forums of a text-based game

Was playing Threshold, bleh, and searching TMS for a better game. I found it.  :wink:

That being said... I'll provide our handy dandy voting links here!! Haha! Shameless voting plug!  :twisted:

I had been mudding a bit here and there, never more than a week or two on the same mud. They all sucked and I thought I'd try something different, so I googled for "roleplaying muds". After filtering through a large amount of sex-muds I found rpimud.com.  I first tried SoI for a week but the Tolkien theme just wasn't me. I tried Armageddon instead and lived happily ever after.

Adminned on SoI, Traithe kept mentioning "big bug world."

And I succumbed to the game he competed with for so long. <g>

I can't really remember how I discovered Arm, but it could have been from reading someone's 'finger notes' on www.chessclub.com - anyone else find out about Arm from an online chess club?  8)

I googled darksun some 10 years ago and found Arm.  Tried it
then, but never really got into it (ie. char longer lived than 2 hrs)
until about 3-4 years ago.

Wow, I can't believe ISCA BBS is still around.. That's also where I found out about Armageddon like a gazillion years ago..

I remember dialing up from what was back then the height of technology, a BBS where you could communicate with up to 8 people at the same time on my 1200 bauds modem!
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

ISCA is still around, even though bbs.isca.uiowa.edu is dead.  (and died a week ago)

the new address is bbs.iscabbs.com

Wondered around several "RP required" MUDs and several H&S ones after a friend introduced me to MUDing in High School.  I went looking for "RP enforced" and ran across Arm on The MUD Connector.  Was intrigued by "perma-death".  Made an account.  Apped a Human Assassin.  Started in Red Storm.  Soon met the Mantis Head.

Hooked.

My Brother got me into it. Strange enough, I got him into mudding. He was the Fourth Kankman

Armageddon is best when it's actually harsh and brutal, not when we're only pretending that it is.

Google. Searching for Role play and Mud after realizing that muds sucked and mushes sucked but mush+muds would rock.
If you gaze for long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
