Community

Tubmud had taken a large community of MUD Wizards (programmers) and the library was obtained from various other MUDs in 1990. It ran on the computers of the computer science department of Technical University of Berlin, but from 2007 the MUD has been provided by the MUD administrators on a private basis.

Technology

Tubmud is a long-running LPMud, with core code is written in C and a library written in LPC. As in many MUDs, the code-base has been modified by the high-level users.

Connection to the MUD is done via Telnet, usually through one of the many MUD clients with a convenient user interface.

Contents

The world of Tubmud [2] consists of many thematically different areas, each overseen by a wizard, with domains the responsible of multiple wizards. The overall scenario is medieval fantasy; technology is prohibited.

Publications
gollark: I can just ignore them and the worst they can do is... ignore osmarks.tk more in search results.
gollark: None of these are actually the case, as far as I can tell.
gollark: Google randomly sent me an email complaining about "Mobile Usability issues" on osmarks.tk.
gollark: Isn't /dev/random the secure one and /dev/urandom the insecure one?
gollark: In theory, the entropy pool thing it uses is such that you shouldn't be able to REDUCE its randomness by feeding in data. Without having access to its internal state or something.
