mushclient

[zaphod]

Hey i'm new to this game, though i do have a lot of experience with muds. I have mush client right now, and this game says it's compatable, but when i type in slothmud.org into the address it says that it can't connect. I think it might be confused by the voting system, but i doubt it, so what's going on?

did you enter the port number as well? 6101

i feel like an idiot....thanks weasel

[zaphod]

ok this is pointless but weasel, you signed up on this game on my birthday

[Weasel]

muahahah

[Autolycos]

knowing weasel like i do, he probably did it on purpose with malicious intent, and it is all part of a much bigger diabolical conspiracy joined with the evil dark minions from hell to dominate the known galaxy!



but then again, could have been a coincedence

heh

[Weasel]

..and all that before breakfast

Since you can't connect without knowing the correct port, any mud will make sure that the port number is included in any direct link to the mud and that it's fairly obvious if it's referred to in a text context. Look around for half a second and you're almost sure to find it.
