hkellickGuess who's back into the lives of ChaoticMUXers everywhere?
Our good friends, the MPU (MUSH Players Union)!
Well, not such very good friends...
actually, we're hardly friends at all...
For those not "in the know, the MUSH Players Union was someone's idea of a joke. Said twink, known as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
luigi (yes, his journal *IS* empty. But regardless..) went around to various MU**s on Mudnet: Chaotic first, Evolution, M*U*S*H and pretty much any MUSH on MudNet hapless enough to have listed their adress. They went around pretend to be part of some MUSH Players Union, demanding to talk to players and staff and asking these inane questions.
Apparently, they were so amused at the respose that they decided to go on other places on Mudnet and cause havoc and destruction. They broughtsolacechan's MUSH, Evolution, to it's knees.
And this was... oh, a year ago? Yeah... that sounds right.
So... imagine my surprise when I log on yesterday to see this...

The Twink Olympics are coming, Are You Twink Enough?
The 1st ever MU* Twink Olympics are currently be planned for mid-April of this year (2002). An OlympicBot has been added to your world. This bot is here to call all twinks, far and wide from across the fruited MU* plane, to compete for the title as The Greatest Twink Alive. Think you can win Gold in the multi-mu* spam-a-thon? How about Greatest Twink Log of the Year? All these events, and more, taking place on a MU* to be announced!
If you would like your MU* to be considered to host the Twink Olympics (and also to send an information bot like this one to it), simply page the connected OlympicBot with 'consider (name of mush/mux) (address) (port)' (if none is connected use mnsearch to find a world with a connected OlympicBot). To sign up to receive future information on the Olympics as the time draws closer, such as where they will be held and specifics event times, page this bot with 'info (your mu* aliases or name) (email address)'. To fully register as a contestant for the Twink Olympics follow the previous instruction, and await details in an future email.
==============================================================================
I went and did a little exploring and went and reopened some old connections. And surprise or surprises, it's confirmed that, indeed,luigi and the MPU Crew are behind this as well.
Add to this that, realistically, ChaoticMUX was probably a target for the Twink Olympics anyways. Luigi despises us.. and M*U*S*H and Evolution?
Need proof? Here's some quick information from 8bit, Luigi's home MUX...
---------------------------------> From 8bit <--------------------------------
A violent MUSH frequently engaged in civil wars and the occupation of peace-loving pacifist MU*s. Our sworn enemies are M*U*S*H, EvoMUX, and ChaoticMUX; and we despise anyone who wasn't born into our Family of Crime. Your current MUSH or MUX will now be invaded by our droids in order for us to learn how your MU* may better adapt to suit the needs of 8bitMUSH, resistance will result in the destruction of any MU* with your nickname in its database. Oh yeah, and we have no quota!

One last thing. We don't suggest you @boot this bot, as doing so will add this world to the list of acceptable targets for the Greatest Twink Log of the Year competition.
So, of course, I @booted the guest.
I'm really not worried about what the MPU can do to us. Annoy us, more than anything else. POSSIBLY bring us down, but we have backups. Anyways, Solace know (especially if she reads this) and I went over to M*U*S*H and spoke to Javelin, just in case.
*shakes his head*
Oh well.. guess we'll see how this plays out. I'm in the loop, so I'm sure I'll hear one way or another.
That's all I have to say about this.
In other news, my weight for the week is...
254!
YAY! :)
Talk to y'all latahz!

Thanks for the logs, though. Didn't realize it was still continuing there. It amazes me that you let Luigi back on, though! Still, maybe everyone deserves a second chance. i've never felt bad about the second chances we gave Ian and Faux.
