&gt;&gt; I could easily see a MUD being wrapped underneath.
&gt; 
&gt; Looks really interesting.  I like this genre of game as I've played
&gt; many solo varieties and board versions.

I just persuaded the chap running the mailing list to use petidomo vs
the glorified CC list they were using till then.  The main code is
written by a chap (woman?) by the name of Tuara (learfox#deltanet,com,
root#taura,ccinet.com).  I suspect that she's a 1st or 2nd year
undergrad.

That said, they've got some really neat ideas, an active and fairly
dedicated gang of people working on it, and have goon quite a long way 
past the initial working proof-of-concept.

&gt; It's also one of the first games I've encountered that is determined
&gt; and dedicated to not allowing me play.

Ptui!  Alas they have a Win95 port underway with the first beta
released already.  &lt;shudder&gt;

&gt; I feel abused and angry.  These feelings are quite strange to me.  I
&gt; was almost tempted to go and do something rash like abuse a
&gt; harddrive partition (again).  Luckily reason got the better of me.

Still championing those recidivist tendencies?

&gt; &lt;tongue firmly planted in cheek&gt;

Or as I used to phrase:

  I spit frozen chunks...

(cf the liquifying of churned dairy products in oral cavities).
