About the AnarchyMOO Project:
Chiphead, Smack, and Racer-X (former Point MOOt wizards) ran the AnarchyMOO
project for one weekend in November, 1994. Sandy Stone, in her ineffable
generosity, allowed the project to be run on one of her ACTlab machines.
We posted all over MOOspace that we were starting up a MOO in which EVERYONE
would be given a wizard bit upon login. This meant that everyone had the
ability to "kill" one another, strip away one another's power, or destroy the
entire MOO.
We did NOT modify the LambdaCore at all for this project.
We allowed anyone to do anything they wanted to. Our only task was to keep
the MOO up (reboot it if it crashed).
Why did we invite such disaster?
Research.
We hoped that AnarchyMOO would survive long enough to help answer some of the
issues which were raised by the Point MOOt project: Issues of governance,
self-governance, and general societal expectations about MOOspace were tested
by starting such a project.
*** The AnarchyMOO project of November, 1994 was ***
*** LOGGED completely from both inside and outside ***
*** the system. ***
We built a system to capture all conversations and emotes, and mail them to an
outside email account.
Additionally, the standard MOO logs and db files (external to the system),
were copied and shipped away to a safe place on a routine time schedule.
Unfortunately, much of what occurred was still lost. Reason being that the
MOO was crashed SO many times that the system often was not able to forward
its internal logs in time. This also meant that the system over-wrote many
of its external files during each shutdown and reboot.
However, the data that was preserved was preserved randomly across the time
signatures, so it should still be valid. As this data is extracted into
a legible format, it will be posted in this directory.
