Me haven't bothered looking at what I put in here so long ago, alot of it prolly sucks, I'll change when I feel like it.
The only Mud(Multi-User-Dungeon) I've played seriously has been Ancient Anguish. I've been playing it since January of 1996... tho when I started I was completely clueless. My first character was called 'Vader', and I kept him for a little more than a year after I started, then I suicided him for.. reasons. I've had a high level char in almost every class and every guild(Except the Bears and Ravens). All these new silly things being added too quickly... Anyway. I 'purged' all my characters a couple times because I was just angry at life in general. Now I'm down to one high level character, 'Time'. I've recently become an apprentice wizard, and all I need is someone to write a world.info for me and I'm set ;) I've wizzed once before, as 'Solo', a couple months ago, but I got tired and overwhelmed by the strange programming language, but it seems pretty easy after more than a surface glimpse. This time I'm overwhelmed with the area writing ;) But I'm in no hurry.
I have been mud-married on AA twice, to Vali then Kalina, and divorced twice, both divorces because of my actions :P *sigh* What I mean is, I took the action to separate.. I divorced Vali as Vader, and suicided Darokin, which left Kalina a widow :P But both times I feel were justified, I don't see why anyone would even mudmarry someone if they didn't really like them enough.. or once they found out they didn't like them, that they would stay mudmarried.. I suppose it doesn't really make much difference, you can always use a different character. I dunno.
I'm still friends with Kalina(Kezzia), and her page is here.
Society of Killer Exploits: None really, I was in SK a bit as Pestilince, surprisingly killed Gonad during my first battle, narrowly avoided death about 4 or 5 times(under 30 hps, sometimes while fighting an insect plague at those few hps too, I was doing damage at the same time but never seemed to do as much), then got killed 5 times in a row by Feral, at which time I decided to just forget it. I'm not really the SK type anyway, with all those disgusting childish things they call each other. Also I'm not very good at it *shrug* I'd survive okay, but that was most of the time because I knew when to run :P So basically I was a coward, I never could seem to seriously hurt people, well.. they usually ran too, I just dunno how SK fighting works well enough. After half an hour to an hour of wandering around trying to find people and scrying them, I'd fight for half a minute to a minute then one of us would run, or sometimes I'd hit them with a lightning bolt and they'd run and I wouldn't find them again for another hour. I ran everytime a necro cast Insect Swarm on me, so I took a breather and killed the spammy bugs, and everyone I fought ran everytime I cast lightning bolt on them, it was pretty silly... I had one interesting fight against another mage with a spell shield, but other than that all the fights were just plain stupid.
List of past characters on AA:
Vader, Zader, Vaders, Pestilince, Devoras, Khazara, Avoozl, Time, Adamant, Terrato, Biazzan, Solo, Life, Darokin, Aardvariel, Fenrir, Heghta.
I'm sure there's more, I've just forgotten about them..
My characters on other muds:(I visit occassionally, don't know anyone on them but rl friends)
Tsunami: Devoras, Sidar, Avis, Verata. (I was getting quite good at the wars before I stopped playing ;) With Verata and Devoras anyway, one time I killed a level 11 thief with my level 7 cleric without taking a hit, and _he_ gated to _me_... also, I killed a level 16 or so person with my level 3 fighter ;) But that was after the only other person with me, a big 19er, knocked him down lots of hps, then the 19er got killed, so I decided, 'I'm dead anyway, might as well try to kill the same person' And it worked! *cackle* I bet he was pissed. I died right after tho, being up against 3 or 4 other high level people whom I couldn't even hit if I got lucky :P)
Realmsmud: Devoras.
Angalon: Devoras.
I think that's about it.
How me got started playing AA(this long):
Well my life on AA started with me just looking around, my friend Greg mentioned Muds when I was talking about the internet, so I decided to have a look. I went through 4 or 5 really stupid looking things, then found Ancient Anguish. It made alot more sense than the others. Still, I was lost, died a couple times as a newbie, then as luck would have it, bumped into Darkthorn and Llanarth(Darkthorn level 10, Llanarth level 3 at the time). Darkthorn just skinned and gutted a rabbit or something, and I was impressed. Having absolutely no idea what I was doing, I simply said 'help please', or maybe I was rude and just said 'help', can't remember. So Darkthorn and Llanarth let me tag along, and we went to the newbie manor. I had found the fighter guild on my own before I died, but I wasn't using anything I gained by becoming a fighter, so I was sucking more than a usual level 1 fighter :P. We killed 'thing' and then some other things in the manor, I learned about rescuing and smoking pipes, Darkthorn was bashing behind Llanarth and I's party. Now, Darkthorn wasn't being terribly helpful with the exp gathering *grin* but he was making AA seem very interesting. We even stopped to build a fire and sit out among the stars, they cuddled up, etc, while I found the emotions! I sat there testing them _all_ out, likely annoying both of them, they thought I was insane ;). After that I decided to strike out on my own to some place, but got lost, of course :P. I was trying to reach Balan but I think I was too far south. Well I asked for help, but I _think_ Llanarth squelched me, and after awhile of wandering around... hmm I can't remember, somehow I got back with them for reboot. I found out all about Voodoo dolls while I stood around in the inn waiting for reboot(Not that I knew what I was waiting for). Then after reboot, some other newbie decided to come along, but little did I realize I had been given the task of mentoring him even tho I didn't even know the layout of the town. I tried leading him for a bit, talked to him, he was from the United States and had a broken arm. I don't remember what his character name was. But I gave up and said he was on his own, and he swore and insulted me, then left... Well that's about it, how I started playing AA. After that I was on my own, had the good fortune to find the Knight's guild, became a ranger at level 5, stayed a ranger for months... partied with some people, learned more about AA slowly... Met Vali a month or two after I started playing.
