Mud is one of the most addicting things in the world. I got hooked on mud at about 14. I played off and on since about 11. From like 14-16 I played all the time. Don't remember where I was, who I mudded with, but I remember that I had a blast (what a coincidence, that shit happens with drugs too ). I quit for a year (about 16-17) and got my shit straight. I realized that mud is a piece of shit. I realized that it pulled atleast 50% of my "awake" time. I was up until 4 am when I had school the next day. Do you know how many days I cut school so I could play mud AAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL day? I can count quite a few. I failed a bunch of subjects in school as result. I didn't tell anyone it was because I was playing a text game. Id be admitted to a state sponsored hospital. Anyways, I started muddin again late last year on Ray's board I think out of the blue for no reason at all. I wasn't 1/2 as bad with the cuttin school. I stayed up until 4 AM still but I just slept in school (Sleeping in school is much better then not going, you learn a lot more ). Around April-May I stopped muddin on Legion and stopped muddin on Morbid. I pretty much quit altogether. I feel like I have been freed from the invisible chains that strapped me to countless computer chairs, countless $2000 computers (to play a text game faster too), and countless deaths at the hands of the various dragons that have been introduced into the game. Through it all, I think I've grown a lot. When I was 11 I wished I was 19 because all the older people were "cool". Now that I'm 19, I wish that I was 11 because I still would still have time to beat my first modem with a bat. Not everything bad has come out of Mud for me. I've learned a TON about computers, I learned how to type, and I learned how to successfully memorize countless text maps. Important life skills we're talkin here. Above it all, I met all of you guys. I met "the community". More importantly, I met the "MMB community". The MMB community has been like one of them small mountain communities where everybody knows everybody else. The actual MMB board has been like the local bar right next to the town square. Good shit happens to people and you guys are there to enjoy it. Bad shit happens and you guys are there to comfort (or tell Erek to kill himself). There are a ton of different people here from the infamous necrophiliac Aragon to the infamous homosexual Ray (I'm just playin wit you guys). We even got the wanna be rappers (white canadians too). This community has it all.
I have just successfully rambled a few pages about nothing, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone I met over the past few years mudding. Even thanks to the people who I didn't meet, fuck it, why should you be left out ??
Oh yea, I'm not leavin or anything, I just have too much time on my hands tonight.
