Nodalod.

Sounds a lot like nod a lot. Which makes me think of an English castle inhabited by nodding knights.

"I think I'm going to go with that for the MUD"

*snorts and wakes up*  what? What?  A Dwarf Fortress MUD?

Its been up for a while.

Though come to think of it, perhaps they are photosensitive to extremely high wavelength radiation. This radiation comes from the sun and penetrates rock, but during winter the bulk of the planet is shielding the plants, and they get too little "sunlight" to grow.

NO.  Fungus are not plants; they do not photosynthesize.  Fungus get all their nutrients from decomposed materials they grow in; que mud.  Mud is wet dirt, and dirt is just dead material broken into really tiny pieces and mixed with minerals.  Underground farming of fungus is thermodynamically sound, assuming there is a good irrigation system set up using a river that is in some way connected to the surface.  And fungus grows quickly, which would also help.

Anyway, dwarven week.  Don't why seven day weeks are so popular, but everyone seems to have used them in the world, kind of like dragon legends.  But regardless, for the 28 day months in DF, 7 day weeks sound good.

The DFMUD died a while back, but Tahin happens to be a 17-th level Necromancer.

The New DFMUD (dfmud.no-ip.org 1050) is using a much better engine and is, importantly, alive and well, though it is still under development. Currently it uses the demo world for the engine, but Tahin, myself, and anybody else who drops by, are working on the new world.

[Tahin]

It's far from complete. I still need to write a shitload of code, and half of it I have no idea how the fuck I'm going to do it, but I'll get it done.

But yeah, there's a MUD. At least there will be.

Oh, and the old one wasn't a MUD, it was a MUX, which is hugely different.

The only reason I'm using a MUD engine is because I don't feel like writing a combat system from scratch, and I'd probably end up rewriting the digging and crafting systems anyway.

[Javis]

That's really cool.  What is a good MUD client to use these days?

[Tahin]

Check the thread. There are a few, there.

Keep in mind that weeks are a completely artificial construct.

There's absolutely no reason why there even need to be seven days per week, but I guess it's convenient.

Seven days are in a week because there are seven planets (ok six+sun) see-able from earth withouth any help.

Interesting fact:  That is why the seven days creation story in the bible has seven days.  Many people think it is the other way around.  However, that is due to the misconception that the creation stories were written by the Christian/Jewish God.  They were actually written by Moses as a means of converting people to the religion.
