At least, something like this (well, translate it to RL) had been happening befor my eyes for almost 30 years within a former Soviet Union - I happened to live next to that store :-) Well, I remember also in 1988 a friend of mine proposed the idea to keep the drug store in a game (that was not multiplayer yet) open 2PM-5PM, real system time (obviously, without any mention of that to the players - that was a quest! :-) > -Matt Chatterley -- Still alive and smile stays on, Vadim Tkachenko <VadimT#4CS,Com> -- UNIX _is_ user friendly, he's just very picky about who his friends are</PRE> <PRE> begin: vcard fn: Vadim Tkachenko n: Tkachenko;Vadim org: 4C Solutions, Inc. email;internet: vadimt#4cs,com title: Web Developer x-mozilla-cpt: ;0 x-mozilla-html: TRUE version: 2.1 end: vcard </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00704" HREF="msg00704.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Matt Chatterley <root#mpc,dyn.ml.org></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00707.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: FAQ and Thread Summaries</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00710.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00704.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00701.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00709"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00709"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00584" HREF="msg00584.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></strong>, Richard Woolcock <a href="mailto:KaVir#dial,pipex.com">KaVir#dial,pipex.com</a>, Tue 09 Dec 1997, 19:06 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00639" HREF="msg00639.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></strong>, Matt Chatterley <a href="mailto:root#mpc,dyn.ml.org">root#mpc,dyn.ml.org</a>, Wed 10 Dec 1997, 17:39 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00691" HREF="msg00691.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></strong>, Derrick Jones <a href="mailto:gunther#online1,magnus1.com">gunther#online1,magnus1.com</a>, Thu 11 Dec 1997, 08:11 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00704" HREF="msg00704.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></strong>, Matt Chatterley <a href="mailto:root#mpc,dyn.ml.org">root#mpc,dyn.ml.org</a>, Thu 11 Dec 1997, 22:05 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00709" HREF="msg00709.html">[MUD-Dev] OT: Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vadimt#4cs,com">vadimt#4cs,com</a>, Thu 11 Dec 1997, 23:19 GMT </LI> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00701" HREF="msg00701.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></strong>, Marian Griffith <a href="mailto:gryphon#iaehv,nl">gryphon#iaehv,nl</a>, Thu 11 Dec 1997, 17:48 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00711" HREF="msg00711.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></strong>, Matt Chatterley <a href="mailto:root#mpc,dyn.ml.org">root#mpc,dyn.ml.org</a>, Fri 12 Dec 1997, 00:09 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00826" HREF="msg00826.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></strong>, Marian Griffith <a href="mailto:gryphon#iaehv,nl">gryphon#iaehv,nl</a>, Mon 15 Dec 1997, 00:16 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00856" HREF="msg00856.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Guilds & Politics [was Affecting the World]</A></strong>, Matt Chatterley <a href="mailto:root#mpc,dyn.ml.org">root#mpc,dyn.ml.org</a>, Thu 18 Dec 1997, 08:56 GMT </LI> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
