* Introduction to HoloMuck:
HoloMUCK is an online MU* game. It's sort of like a text adventure
computer game except that there other people who are walking around
with you, and you can build parts of the world yourself. HoloMUCK has
a history dating back to Februrary 1992, starting as a closed muck on
a computer system in central Maine, evolving into a public muck with a
following based on Callahan's, Pern, and FluxMUCK, and has now become
the largest daemonmuck-based server on the Internet, residing in
Montreal, Canada, and running on a NeXT 68040 computer. HoloMUCK has
players from places as diverse as Russia, Slovenia, Italy, Sweden,
Australia, Canada, South America, and even the south pole. Unlike
some other online games, which tend to be overly hack-and-slash,
HoloMUCK's focus is more social. Although people can do
"role-playing," folks are encouraged to just "be themselves."

* Among HoloMuck's many attractions:
Friendly folks, the game rooms in the Mirror Image Tavern (Lotto,
Yahtzee, Oh Hell, etc.), Callahan's Place, the business at 201 West
Main Street (over 18 only), the Amirthi River (which actually flows),
the fantasy regions of planet Holo (Narnia,
Snark Forest, etc.), and
(for those of a more militaristic mindset) the space combat game. On
HoloMuck, "To everything its place."
