That's absolutely gorgeous.
Varak:You tell the mangy, pointy-eared gortok, in sirihish: "What, girl? You say the sorceror-king has fallen down the well?"
Ghardoan:A pitiful voice rises from the well below, "I've fallen and I can't get up..."

Are we actually getting that website?

I'm fishing at a writer's workshop I am a member of. I think they're all going to think I'm weird now.

I think we should add the Armageddon logo to the listing at TopMudSites. My eyes tend to pass right over the ones without a logo.

A logo would help the listing stand out, *especially* during the times when we are listed in the bottom half of the twenty. Only a few of those muds have logos next to their listings.

I made a thread about that a bit ago, costs $60 for a year.

And you have my bow.
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

AND MY AXE!

(come on, you were asking for it.)

Sekrit Santa for Arm year?
You lift ~ with all your strength.

I'm wondering if we might stand out more if the logo on TMS is set, much like the IRE games.

Is there any way we could set it to the thing on the front page?



We used to have a logo on TMS.  It costs $5 a month to keep it there.

Suggestion:  Donate $60 to the MUD with the stipulation that it only be used for the TMS icon.

However the problem still lies in contacting sanvean about the listing, since he was the one that registered it. If worse comes to worse we might have to re-list armageddon at the end of the month when the votes reset.

Protip: Sanvean, better known as Cat Rambo, is definitely not a dude.


Though, science is out on the subject still.

Wait, is sanvean the lady with the purple hair that made the podcasts?

Wrong again.

It's totally pink.
A dark-shelled scrab pinches at you, but you dodge out of the way.
A dark-shelled scrab brandishes its bone-handled, obsidian scimitar.
A dark-shelled scrab holds its bloodied wicked-edged, bone scimitar.

I'll donate $20 for it.

If one more person would donate, we could have two logos on TMC...
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

Two logos?

Scratch that, let's go with $10 each for 7 months and see how that works.

I went to a Games Workshop convention and found some people to hang out with after for dinner.

At dinner we all discussed games, Games Workshop(Warhammer ect) and others, D&D and things like that.  Well, two of the guys happened to play Armageddon.  They mentioned it because I mentioned MUDs in general.  I come from a PK mud background, but find the RPI Muds extremely rewarding in terms of story and just overall character attachment.

Either way, he explained how he was a sneaky assassin type, and involved in some plots ect ect.  It all sounded so awesome, I gave it a try.  Died in the desert(IM pretty sure I played a desert-elf back then, were they ever 0 karma?).

Well, I played a few characters, then came back a few years later.  But I would of never heard of Arm without that random encounter with people I've never met.  I love the mud though, its great.

I think one of the best locations to go for advertising would be Conventions that involve other roleplayers.


Exalted Conventions, D&D, Tabletops in general.  These are people who are committed to something, whether its glueing and painting models, or actual roleplaying/larping ect.  These are the people who would not just give Arm a try and say, "This is lame."   They would see the potential and stay.
