We're changing the MUD from SMAUG to tbamud, based on CircleMUD. We think this is a better starting point, and Circle is nostalgic for a few of us.
The new address is mud.macneilmediagroup.com port 4000
I can't stop thinking about the good times back in the 90s when I'd get home from school and autodial the local BBS for hours until someone logged off and I got a spot to play in the MUD.
So I spun one up. I can't let the good times go.
If you want to mess around and try and get a MUD going, I'm running one based on SMAUG at mud.macneilmediagroup.com 4020
A real mud client is better, but they have web clients now that do the job
It is interesting that this is *not* mentioned on the allaboutbirds site as far as I can tell?!
One mention I can find on the related ebird.org is "Gray body, sometimes with intense rusty staining."
<Staining> implies external pigment.
I cannot vouch for the org, but this site has a very detailed write-up...

This male mallard was really digging into the mud! Maybe it was having a spa day, and the mud helps keep their green head colorful and iridescent!
Mud is a big part of their diet as they have plant material and small organisms like worms and snails.

Been playing on https://www.erionmud.com and am thoroughly enjoying the crafting system. Having the option to just work uninterrupted, in familiar patterns, appeals to my #ActuallyAutistic need for structure and familiarity, while when my #ActuallyADHD side wants novelty, I can go wander the realm and see what pops up. And if I need something, I can make it myself, darn it! LOL If you try it out and need some pointers, I'm usually up there as Tamryn, so feel free to ask me anything.

If anyone is looking to play a really cool #Mud out there, I would most definitely recommend playing Clok MUD. Its really an awesome fantasy-type mud where you make your way in the world and it allows you to be free in various ways. Its a classless mud and there aren't levels, but instead you learn by doing. RP is encouraged, and it really is a fun mud to play if you have the time to do so. I have a little less time these days, but Clok has been my home for years and I was sad when it went down, but glad its up once again for sure.
You can find it at www.Clok.contrarium.com
Saltmarsh planting day at the reservoir today- we do warn people that they will get muddy, no one seemed to mind, though some get muddier than others.
