 — fluffy and cute to hold

No MUD runs itself, certainly not one the size and shape of the Discworld MUD. Discworld MUD is a meritocracy - that is, the better the work you do (and in our case, the longer you hang around looking busy), the more projects you'll work on and the farther up the tree you'll advance.

At the top, we have a few dedicated individuals that head up the whole hierarchy:

On starting the MUD: "I had been playing muds for a while before I started the mud. A couple of years. The restrictions on LPmuds at the time frustrated me and I thought I could do a lot better job. So I started a mud to do so, with some of my friends. The reason for the Discworld theme was actually that someone else wanted to make a discworld mud and they had a machine..."
