From: Lindar To: lojban X-Original-Sender: lindarthebard@yahoo.com Reply-To: lojban@googlegroups.com Precedence: list Mailing-list: list lojban@googlegroups.com; contact lojban+owners@googlegroups.com List-ID: List-Post: , List-Help: , List-Archive: Sender: lojban@googlegroups.com List-Subscribe: , List-Unsubscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I came in during text adventures, but sadly I have never participated in, nor understand how to operate, a MUD/MOO (client?). This is before my time, and probably would not interest me. However, something like a persistant 3D world with low system requirements would be very interesting. ((Neverwinter Nights comes to mind, as that runs easily on my system and I can easily make a persistant world that is in Lojban.)) There is a problem in that most commercial games are exactly that, commercial. I wouldn't expect anybody to run out and pay 20$ or however much it is for a copy of the game. There are a few other options, though. I haven't messed around with it, but it seems there is a large following for cantr. Other options include Second Life and similar games (though I'm not sure how friendly they are for systems which are less than ideal for games or graphics rendering such as mine). A final option, which might be fun, is to have a regular persistant IRC-based RP group. We could arbitrarily select a system and change things to fit Lojban, or even come up with our own system (I have several that can quickly and easily be implimented). Personally I see the latter option as the most likely, but I would certainly enjoy any other option as long as it doesn't use stuff that's far beyond legacy technology. =D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
