I envisage something like Larry Niven's Dream Park series, one GM with a bunch of helpers who carry out the roleplaying and maybe stuff like writing code. Technically, I don't think there are many obstacles unless the GM had some really ambitious ideas that could only be carried out by modifying the codebase/mudlib/core. The main roadblock is political, this Company would need to have access to stats, mud internals and so forth for the special effects. That would mean maybe a couple weeks of having to put up with total strangers tearing up your mud and poking their noses everywhere. Maybe after 6 months and a few good shows, this Company will gain a rep for themselves and become an attraction in itself but the initial foot in the door is going to be a hard one. Anyway, this appeals to me coz it allows a grand tour of the mudding universe as a businessman. :) Shame I no longer have time for this sort of thing. As always, just a thought. | Ling Lo _O_O_ In flux, please use: kllo#iee,org _______________________________________________ MUD-Dev maillist - MUD-Dev#kanga,nu <A HREF="http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev">http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev</A> </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00906" HREF="msg00906.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] GM Touring Company</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> alexo#bigfoot,com (Alex Oren)</li></ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00902" HREF="msg00902.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] GM Touring Company</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> "Christopher Allen" <GMFangs#ASMRB,org></li></ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00896" HREF="msg00896.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] GM Touring Company</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Matthew Mihaly <diablo#best,com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00876" HREF="msg00876.html">[MUD-Dev] In-game tailors, re-stringers, etc.</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> "Eli Stevens (KiZurich/GreySylk)" <c718157#showme,missouri.edu></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00892.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] list of MUD platforms?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00894.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] list of MUD platforms?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00878.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] In-game tailors, re-stringers, etc.</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00896.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] GM Touring Company</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00893"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00893"><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] list of MUD platforms?</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00895" HREF="msg00895.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] list of MUD platforms?</A></strong>, Ilya, SCC, Game Commando <a href="mailto:Ilya#gamecommandos,com">Ilya#gamecommandos,com</a>, Wed 14 Jul 1999, 02:15 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00880" HREF="msg00880.html">[MUD-Dev] An apology</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#varesearch,com">claw#varesearch,com</a>, Thu 08 Jul 1999, 21:43 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00876" HREF="msg00876.html">[MUD-Dev] In-game tailors, re-stringers, etc.</A></strong>, Eli Stevens (KiZurich/GreySylk) <a href="mailto:c718157#showme,missouri.edu">c718157#showme,missouri.edu</a>, Thu 08 Jul 1999, 16:58 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00878" HREF="msg00878.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] In-game tailors, re-stringers, etc.</A></strong>, Caliban Tiresias Darklock <a href="mailto:caliban#darklock,com">caliban#darklock,com</a>, Thu 08 Jul 1999, 21:06 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00893" HREF="msg00893.html">[MUD-Dev] GM Touring Company</A></strong>, Ling <a href="mailto:K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk">K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk</a>, Wed 14 Jul 1999, 01:45 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00896" HREF="msg00896.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] GM Touring Company</A></strong>, Matthew Mihaly <a href="mailto:diablo#best,com">diablo#best,com</a>, Wed 14 Jul 1999, 02:27 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00916" HREF="msg00916.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] GM Touring Company</A></strong>, Ling <a href="mailto:K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk">K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk</a>, Thu 15 Jul 1999, 22:06 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00920" HREF="msg00920.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] GM Touring Company</A></strong>, Matthew Mihaly <a href="mailto:diablo#best,com">diablo#best,com</a>, Fri 16 Jul 1999, 00:43 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00925" HREF="msg00925.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] GM Touring Company</A></strong>, Christopher Allen - GM Fangs <a href="mailto:GMFangs#ASMRB,ORG">GMFangs#ASMRB,ORG</a>, Fri 16 Jul 1999, 19:04 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </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>
