Grosek_ Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm just curious who else has met another mudder in a non-mud environment. For instance: My first meeting was when I arrived at my first unit. I was just moving into the barracks and a guy stuck his head out of his room, saw that I was moving in, and offered me a beer. So I headed down to his room, grabbed a beer from the refrigerator, turned around and saw a screen full of text, at the bottom of which said "You have escaped the Forsaken Lands." That was about two years ago now. Today was my second meeting. I'm currently staying with a special forces team in Iraq, working on some of their computers at their house for a few days. While I was waiting for a program to install on one of their computers I was browsing the forum and one of the guys behind me notices the voting links at the top of the page. He asks "Do you MUD?" To which I responded "Eh, you're probably thinking of something different." His response was "No, I'm been playing on MUME, the number 1 MUD on TMC since about 1998." Heh, I just think its too cool when stuff like that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Not really ever met anyone who played it aside from the people who introduced me to it a few years ago. And I'm pretty sure they moved on since then. It'd be more fun to realize someone you just met played the same MUD as you did rather than another one anyways.

Grosek_ Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yeah, it was definately cool to meet someone who'd been playing FL for a while. And as it turns out the guy that played a different mud plays WoW now, although he still tries to keep up with whats going on in his old mud.

Tantangel Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Have him come here. Then he can keep up with a free game that kicks *** (even with all the downsides to it at times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H&R Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Here goes. I was ranking up my psionicist and hook up with an ogre ranger. After a while, Irumeru called us up, to ask if we knew eachother ooc, because we had similar ip-addresses. I said that I live in Örebro, Sweden. His reply was that he live in Linköping, Sweden. I was like, wow! Another swede Then about a year passes, I don't think about it too much. During this year I move to Linköping to study. A char of mine meets a really funny berserker inside FL, we have fun, rp a while. Then he makes a post about our interaction on the forum, I send him a pm, saying I had fun too, you're great and such. Then I ask him where he's from, and he says "Linköping". Can you believe it? It was the same guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewGuy Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I have met one mudder.... He is an addict, you better ban him. Or what do you think, H&R? Only problem is you will ban me too, since we share an appartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H&R Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 At least I don't die, go to an island as a ghost, don't find my corpse, and get stuck on the island with no boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nympha Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I have met...three mudders, currently working on my fourth. Course these are all intentional meetings. My ex husband played FL. Back before when people used to send OOC notes back and forth, he sent me his e-mail address. Two years later we met, got married, had kids. He dont mud anymore. Then I met a mudder who imms for IronRealms. Dated him for a lil while, then parted ways. Met up with someone else and stayed in touch, still do. He happened to be visiting family in my area. Then met someone else who is in school in hawaii but originally lives like 10 mins from me. Now working on meeting a buddy that lives somewhere down south a bit. So I get around, and I absolutely love meeting fellow mudders. Its awesome to get to know the person behind the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I got introduced to MUDs by friends in high school years ago. I've met other people at college who've previously mudded, but none who do it now. I met Carth once, as we both lived in Milwaukee... met up at the mall, saw a movie, went to Best Buy, talked about FL the entire time. Then he joined the military... would be funny if he was the guy Grosek met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warpnow Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I have converted ALOT of people to FL, does that count? I didn't think so. I did meet someone who plays realms of despair(mud that invented SMAUG) but smaug is too different from in feel(there is limited pk, and only a few classes are pkable) that I was unable to convert him to FL because he didn't enjoy PK, though I did get him to roll up a char to 30, even got in a tad bit of trouble cuz I helped him too much IC.

Icor Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I got into FL via Elfdude. I was taking a computer programming class and there he was - mudding any time a sub' came in, cause subs are chumps and can't tell the difference between a code test and a telnet client. I met GrannyM4n a couple times. His girlfriend shot me in the face with a straw-wrapper rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
