Keeth!

With a grand total of one entry, Keeth wins by default. That's fine with me, seeing as how the layout he designed looks really nice. There's a few glitches, but I'll work them out shortly.

Keeth, you'll receive your BYOND subscription next week Friday (that's pay day).

There's only one more week left to the stylesheet contest. So far, there is only one submission!

Whoever creates the best stylesheet for this site wins a free BYOND membership! The stylesheet should creatively represent MUDs. Post a link to your submission in a comment on this post.

[edit] I'm making the deadline for this contest the 1st of next month. At that point, I'll post a poll so members can decide with style they like best.

It's been a long time since I've been on BYOND. Since I started programming again, text MUDs have become increasingly interesting to me. I looked through some of my old libraries and found almost everything I needed to get started with a MUD.

These libraries are the Ebonshadow.MUDbase libraries, which I plan on revamping and re-releasing under this name. I'm also going to be extending on this library suite with an XML based area system which is nearly complete and a few other libraries to help MUD creators get started.

The site is pretty barren right now. If you are interested in MUD development, feel free to join the guild and share your ideas!
