Due to the disappearance of programs on the MUCK, causing errors, TPC has been put on hold until further notice.
It has been half a year since this has happened and I'm sure many of you are wondering if the place will ever get back up and running. While I can not answer this for you as I am not the Head, it is Shani's choice whether TPC will proceed or not. I have managed to attained as much information as I could to ensure the least amount of work possible for a reconstruct should that be the course of action taken. However, I do not have any of the code which is one of the main reasons things are on hold. So, we are in need of a programmer if anyone knows of one. If we are unable to recover the present code then a complete rewrite may be needed. I know that Shani is willing to find another sever for the place and I'm willing to support her on this.
**
It is good to see a new face on the Forum. Seidaku, as one of the MUCKs fellow wizards, I welcome you and whatever help you can provide us. While I would prefer to wait for a response from Shani, I'd also like to provide her (and everyone else) a place to return to even though TLK themed MUs aren't as popular as they use to be.

I haven't dabbled in more then a few years. I have some really good resources though including custom modifications to public sourced code. I'm still waiting to hear back from Shani so I hope everything is okay in her neck of the woods. I'm still not sure about the current database situation, without having a chance to look at it closer most of my theories are mere speculation. If things have to boil down to sourcing from a new host, I've tried to start a conversation with the frostmud.com owner/admin for basic service. Depending on how things play out and the resources that are made available to the migration effort, who knows... Maybe the new product will prove to be more epic. Curious to get an opinion though, has anyone had any experience using Triggur's Terraforming system? Is that something that even wants to be explored? ( details located here: www.furtoonia.net/terraform.html ) Something to think about if nothing else.

Hi all,
Sorry for the mis-ness, been dealing with my mom's illness and car and tenant problems . Am under a bit of stress atm, but wanted to check in. As for TPC , everything is pretty much gone. Whatever we decide to do, we'll have to start over from scratch, which has it's perks and it's cons. I´d like start again, but tlk-based mucks seem to be passed. That said, what do you want to do?
Shall we march on If you're for it, so am I.

We basically just need a theme then. Everything else can be worked out once we have that. So, whoever is still interested let me know so we can do some brain storming.

Unfortunately I'm only good for a light drizzle if anything. New baby and all.

We basically just need a theme then. Everything else can be worked out once we have that. So, whoever is still interested let me know so we can do some brain storming. Some generalized ideas for root design; - Specific theme, as an established concept. Movie, comic, or novel concepts.
- Anthro, non-anthro, or humanistic possibilities.
- Pick and try to design a real city in game context and mold the story as applicable.
- Multiple theme locales, and allowable contexts with or without crossovers
It depends on demographics and who you are trying to appeal to. But here are some things to consider.

I haven't been here in a few days, but I was thinking. How about we do something Walking Dead related. I'm sure that we are all familiar with it.

I haven't been here in a few days, but I was thinking. How about we do something Walking Dead related. I'm sure that we are all familiar with it. Hmm, this may be interesting to build but I'm having trouble wrapping my brain about how to apply this idea. - Players As Humans
- Aggressive AI
- Lets face it, As a Human in this story, not only do you have to worry about Zombies. You also have to worry about other Humans.
- Take a page from White Wolf and stat Nature and Demeanor?
- Lets consider the storyline, acts of murder and aggression are weighed in the consideration of being brought into a community.
[/ol][/ul][/div] - Players As Zombie
- Aggressive/Friendly AI
- As a Zombie in this story you only have to worry about Human aggression. Though these walking dead haven't been revealed to have friendly qualities, they do pack up, which means you could get a group to over run an aggressive mob for self preservation.
- Zombie's as pets...?
- Lets consider the storyline, being a pet doesn't save you around hostile mobs. Its actually a disadvantage, as you don't have limbs or a lower jaw so no desire to feed.
[/ol][/ul][/div] Some things to consider on this idea, maybe this will work better in a mud environment. As I understand Glow has some Mud support but its not complete, and I'm not sure about Proto's ability to mimic the Mud dynamic at this point in server development. Developing the AI standards wont be an easy feat by any measure.

Alright guys, I don't think this place is going to be revived. To much time has passed and no advancements have been made. If you are really seeking a TLK muck and haven't found a replacement, I know Legacy of the King of in dire need of some players. ( drigon.com 1313 ) If you want to try something new I can direct you towards a new place called Tron: Origin. ( kasear.net 8799 ) As its names implies, it is based on Tron ( TV series and movies ) www.tronorigin.wikidot.com will provide you information about the place if you are interested and have questions. Meadows Muck is also trying to make a come back. ( amber.org.uk 7000 )

Holy Crap. Today I tried to just guest around and see what's goin' on in the game space. What happened to the guest accounts? Were they disabled, did the supporting program break? What's what now? I'm very confused. Anyways, Catch any and all feedback on the flipside.
