Re: Some "new" ideas of mine, post yours here

Theres a really easy idea to this massive clan war that many people have always fantasized about and its within our grasp. Infact mirage has already given us the tools to do it if he would agree. Set our Juniors to 2 seperate clans with drawings and set up the whole teams in the arena and say have ...

Re: Some "new" ideas of mine, post yours here

I like the idea of better-defined stances so they're useful in specific situations. Just curious about why people think closing clans would "= more wars etc" and "make pk and wars more fun". I think the potential benefit is that you wouldn't have as many inactive justicars, but t...

Re: Free Mud Client!?

Big fan of Mushclient. Was commercially developed for several years before it was opened to the public by Nick Gammon, so it's very stable and versatile. While it's quite a transition from Zmud, it always matches the latest Zugg release for features. If you check it out and want help getting set up,...

Apparently there's been some excitement on the mud over the past few days.
