MUD?s For Stupid Imbeciles
By Toma Incorporated

Intro

WTF!!11 What the hell is a MUD? Well, good question. For those of you out there who like Dragonball Z or anything for that matter MUDS could be for you, but for now we?ll use DBZ. MUD stands for Multi User Dungeon, it?s basically an online game, but text based. You enter commands that can make your character do certain things, like pickup weapons, fight MOBS (NPC Computer). But in a Dragonball Z mud there are no weapons, or you need to buy them with large amounts of Zeni, which you can find by killing MOBS. But with every MUD, comes a different playing system. In a Dragonball Z mud, you have Health, Energy, Focus (Allows you to use moves like Big Bang and Gallic Gun) and Power Level. Depending on your power level you can fight certain MOBS, or you can be slaughtered in one hit. Below is an example of the health bar on Dragonball Saga, a very popular DBZ Mud.


(LifeForce:<100> Ki:<100>)
(PowerLevel:<186|205>

Ok, you probably want to play this, but it?s not that easy. You?ll probably want a link or something, but it doesn?t work like that. You need a program called a MUD Client which tunnels into the server that the MUD has been uploaded onto and connects to it.
Then you can follow the onscreen directions to start a character. Below is the character makeup process on Dragonball Infinity.

Enter your character's name, or type new: new

Choosing a name is one of the most important parts of this game...
Make sure to pick a name appropriate to the character you are going
To role play, and be sure that it fits into the DragonBall Z world.
Please type 'HELP' to read what restrictions we have for naming your
Character.

Please choose a name for your character: grim
Did I get that right, Grim? (Y/N) y (Entered Command)

Make sure to use a password that won't be easily guessed by someone else.
Pick a good password for Grim:


Please retype the password to confirm:

HC HARDCORE UNKNOWN
==========================================================================
Hard Core Mode
--------------
Benefits of HC mode:
* You show up on the who list as an 'Unknown'. That way nobody
can tell what your power level is by your rank.
* You will NOT show up on any of the hiscore tables. That way
nobody can attempt to guess how strong you might be.
* HC players will be the ONLY players allowed to collect bounties
that have been placed on other players. (when the bounty code is
turned back on)
* No alignment restrictions at all. So you can spar
anyone, or join any clan. The only people who know what your
true alignment is are the ones you tell.
* You cannot be seen entering/exiting a room, even by other HC's.
* You will not show up on the 'who' list, unless you have your
character configured to.
* In addition to not knowing your power level, people will not
be able to tell who you are unless you have 'introduced'
yourself to them(it's a part of our greeting system).
So, if someone attacks you thinking you're someone else, and
it turns out that they're stronger than you, they get smashed.

The 'Not so Good Things' ™ about HC mode:
* You can be killed by normal or HC players at any time. (it's
like having a permanent red pk flag on) You are protected
until you have 100k pl however.

If played right, the hard core character is by far the scariest
character in the game. The only thing you can ever know for sure
about a hard core player is their name, because, combined with
suppress, they can lie about everything about them selves. If a
hard core character can role play well (or is just a good liar),
everyone else better watch out...

A brutal, primitive people, the Saiyans were a race of bandits on
Planet Plant. Their long-time rivals, the Tuffles, managed to keep the
physically strong race in check with their technology. However, the
Saiyans took over the planet when Plant had its first full moon in a very
long time. The planet was renamed Vegeta, and the Saiyans adopted Tuffles
machines for themselves. Ignorance brought the downfall of their race when
they refused to heed Bardock's warning about Freiza. Their home world was
smashed to bits, and only a handful of Saiyans survived. All members of
their race (even halfbreeds) possess the ability to become an Oozaru, with
the amazing technology of humans the saiyan race was brought back from the
brink of extinction. They have just regained their home world and are
beginning to amass armies to conquest once again.

GHETTI
========================================================================-
The race that the villain Garlic Jr. Is from. This race never really
played a big role in the world of Dragonball until they turned everyone
into zombies with the Blackwater Mist. The race is a strange one, they
don't get their power by usual means, they become angry to the point of
insanity in which their bodies grow in size. They have also been known
to create weapons out of their own flesh, as well as use large amounts of
ki for quick blast attacks. They definitley have the potential to become
one of the bigger forces in the universe.
