We now have a Facebook group. Staff will be using this to post interesting little snippets, logs, polls and so on, so connect with us!
http://www.facebook.com/groups/armageddonmud/
I would like to say that the seemingly recent "outreach" to be more visible to players in an OOC manner is really refreshing. From joining in the Goulet Goodtimes Gankserver, to this new page... it makes staff seem like more than ominous clouds in the sky, denying all your wishes to get a stat bump.
I love Armageddon, and it is a big part of my life... but I have reservations about my aunts and not-so-understanding other relatives chancing upon my gaming habits.
I use FB as a family-focused tool because they would hate me if I didn't have a FB account. Please understand!
You could always make a second facebook for weird internet stuff. That's what I did.
So will all my game requests show up on the page? :-\
Maybe it's time to come out of the closet, Dan.

No, only the really embarrassing stuff you do in game.

Dear Talia - I heart you.
XOXO ShaL
crap. now I will have to remember my facebook login.
Dan - totally understand about not wanting to add your facebook account to it. I now have 3 facebook accounts. A 'work' one, one for the mud, and a personal one. Painful.
Oh wow, I BARELY have time to maintain one.
I didn't say I maintained them... I just have them ;)
Facebook occasionally suggests several of y'all as people I should connect with. On my sandboxed-for-relatives Facebook account. Kinda disturbing. :D
I'm really not sure how it Knows.
Good stuff :)
I'm really liking the direction things are moving at present.
how do you maintain a facebook?
Okay. Fine.

Not forget that it exists for weeks at a time. :D
I left group because I don't want email notifications, but I can't adjust notification settings from my phone. So, uh, I'll be back once I get my laptop within range of some wifi.
I don't use facebook, out of principle. Facebook is a clingy mistress that won't let you go once she has you in her clutches.
I'll keep following you guys on the forum, though!
I have a facebook account and I like...never use it. I mean, I look at it on occasion because trillian makes it easy to, but I have never had the compulsive need to friend everyone and post my bowel movements on it like everyone else.

Kinda, but Ginka doesn't make upgrades I didn't ask for and doesn't change my settings without asking :P

I was like you once. Kinda wish I still was :-\
I'm an "in the closet" MUDder so no friending for me :)

Could whatever is posted on the facebook thing be posted here on the forums after a while? I mean. I don't use facebook anymore because of many reasons. And I will not cave to it because of Arm, but I am intrigued whatever unique things will pop up there.
No. There's no sensitive information or anything, but if you want to see it, go use it. If you don't like/don't use facebook, you don't have to join this group or this page. This page/group is for people that either like or tolerate facebook and wish to interact in such a medium. We're not going to bend over backwards to suit your (or anyone else's) personal facebook interests/disinterests.
Eh.. aggresively put, Nyr, but I get it. I was more asking if players were allowed to carry over whatever was posted there to here? I wasn't demanding you to do anything, please accept my more clearer re-phrasing of the question.
No problem, I just saw a few posts here from people bashing facebook. While I don't necessarily agree or disagree, this isn't the thread to come in and say "omg I hate Facebook, not going to use this." No one asked you to--we just made it available for those that would like to use it!
And as for sharing what's there, sure, why not? Like I said, it's not sensitive information or anything, but no one is obligated to be your Facebook liason.
Well it's an easy target. But cool. Like the initiative. Now let us all await google+ Arm, or something. >_>

This. I'm not ashamed of you guys...it's just...yeah. ^.^
If you're afraid of the Mundanes checking out a higher plane of existence, you're not geeky enough. Proselytize that shit!
I dunno how hard the bug is going to bite me this time around. I am fairly active on the Book of Faces, however.
Ohh...Could do what Talia did and make a Facebook account especially for the occassion. Arm'ing proud. ^.^
If Armageddon changed its user picture to a hot chick or tits it would get tons more friends and likes, I'm just sayin'.

If I did that, I'd have to make one for Eve, Minecraft and a few other less good games with online communities I have played.
