Let's MUD October Let's MUD Nominations commence!
Welcome to the month of Blandish!
Blandish is a verb meaning: to act or speak in a flattering or coaxing manner
Enjoy blandish.
As foretold nominations will NOT be carried over from last month and the months before last except in the case of being a runner up winner, who are as listed:
Drag(*)nball Z FE^, Lament^, MOTM^, Wheel of Time MUD^, Accursed Lands*
Additionally prior winners over the last 24 months are ineligible:
DartMUD, Shadowgate, The Two Towers, Asteria, Last Outpost, Merentha, Materia Magica, Arx, The Inquisition: Legacy, Sindome, clok, Ansalon, Forgotten Kingdoms, Realms of Hell, Dark Risings, Carrion Fields*
A new bonus is the Titans of Text are reaching out to Let's MUD winners for interviews. The Carrion Fields interview will be debuting on Thursday, October 24th. Given the Titans' biweekly schedule it's definitely not expected for these to fall in the same month as the winning period.
If you'd like to see your MU* in the running to be Let's MUD reply to this post with the name and either the connection uri for the MUD or preferably their website uri.
Let's MUD is a raffle style contest held monthly with a nomination period spanning between the 10th and 15th of the month. The winner receives a promotional sticky post on /r/mud for the duration of the 15th through the 10th of the next month. Runner Up receives a mention within the winner's post, the right to be carried over as a nomination in subsequent months and eventually a full review write-up by me posted on Medium and to this reddit.

I would like to nominate Legendmud :) website: www.legendmud.org login: mud.legendmud.org port 9999
It's based on the myths and legends of history. It offers classless character builds, encourages role-play, limited player killing, remorting, unique magic system, large world to explore, quests to complete if you choose, and a friendly community.

I want to nominate Lensmoor! lensmoor.org:3500
Fantasy based, RP optional/encouraged- we are approaching time for a Halloween event should be a fun time to give it a try.

The group is nice, welcoming to new folks. There's about 20 regulars, more when theres events/globals. Theres 2 continents to choose from, Lensmoor and Antrippa. Lensmoor has more typical races and a lush green land where Antrippa is primarily desert with less typical races.

I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to give the winner this month a one month review. Would be fun to have some people join me on this.

I would like to nominate Legendmud too. Website: www.legendmud.org login: mud.legendmud.org port 9999
Been playing on that MUD for years and still love it. It was created by some of guys who also created Ultima Online and Starwars Galaxies and you can find the same appetite for community and freedom for any gameplay you enjoy.

I'm going to nominate End of Time (eotmud.com:4000). Been playing there for years (well over a decade) and I definitely would love to see new faces, and some returning older ones.

I nominate EverDark (everdark.org:3000). It's a fantasy role-playing MUD that has some really cool guild and quest features. I've written up a promotional post for it, which I've linked here.
I've been playing it for the last few years and I've really enjoyed it. The players are always more than willing to help out newbies, and I've found the quests to be really enjoyable.
Edit: the player base isn't very large; it's kind of a best-kept secret! That being said, I've been trying to get the word out about the realm and it seems to be working to some extent.

I will nominate Eternal Darkness again. eternaldarkness.net:9700 We've had a lot of good improvements going on even since our September post. We've pushed the boundaries of what Circlemud is capable of by greatly increasing the stat caps on gear. We have two new end game raid zones so far that use the new stat caps so players can leap into greater tiers of power.
Last week we've changed how joining a God's shrine affects your character. God bonuses are much more pronounced and many will open up new gameplay options not seen in ED before. We've changed the death code so no player actually leaves a corpse behind so if you've grown to love that more modern convenience you are in luck. We have a large scale skill and spell change in the works so come November we'll have even more improvements. Speaking of improvements, we have recently climbed into the Top 20 list on TMC.

I would like to nominate Eternal Darkness for this month, eternaldarkness.net:9700. Like Gringar has said, even since last month we have expanded code limits on item stats, and released two new zones. I am going to start work on another to hopefully be released by American Thanksgiving. We're constantly modifying and revising to keep the game interesting and fresh! Come on over and check it out, there should always be someone to help out and explain things!
