'''Flexible Survival''' is an [[adult]]s-only [[MUCK]] for [[transformation]] fans. Players must interact in an environment of mutants and survivors to make sense of a post-apocalyptic world.

The game is based on [[role-play]] and classic hack'n'slash combat, supporting both a website [[W:graphical interface|graphical interface]] as well as a standard [[MU*]] [[telnet]] client.

== Plot ==

The '''Promethean Nanites''' have been unleashed, in part due to the acts of one of its major researching companies, Zephyr Inc. These nanites, also referred to as the Promethean Plague, the Nanite Plague, the Scourge and numerous similar titles, are virus-based artificial swarming strains of proteins and enzymes controlled by micro-transponders. Communication went down hours after the initial release, and the populace was reduced, in large, to gibbering, insane mutants of all shapes and perversions.

The players are part of '''Zephyr Inc'', ''RSX''', or the '''Prometheans''', piecing together what's left. Your mind has been spared dissolution or subversion, but your body remains like stiff clay to the untiring fingers of the Promethean Nanites, constantly adapting to shape new forms.

MUCK

2014-06-28T18:37:26Z

Songbird:

A '''MUCK''' is an online [[role-playing]] game that is usually text-based and accessible through [[wikipedia:telnet|telnet]], as well as a variety of MUCK clients.

The actual expansion of the acronym ''MUCK'' is disputed, however some suggestions include:
* Multi User Created Kingdom
* Multi User Chat Kingdom
* Multi User Construction Kit

It has also been suggested that the word MUCK is a play on the word [[MUD]], or ''Multi User Dungeon'', a similar type of game platform that is more focused on a points based role playing system.

Each MUCK has its own sets of rules and policies. Some MUCKs allow [[player]]s to be [[Out Of Character]] (OOC) as much as they like, while others require them to be [[In Character]] (IC) more often, or always. Rules can vary in different areas of the MUCK.

Most MUCKs allow players to build. Creation might be restricted to simple objects, expanded to rooms and exits, or policy might allow for complex scripting. The creation and customization aspects of MUCK allow the player base to build a world.

The term "mucking" means playing on a MUCK.

==TinyMUCK Programming Languages==
*[[MPI]] - A macro expansion language used to make descriptions more dynamic, it has grown into a full fledged language on it's own.
*[[MUF]] - The original extension language introduced in TinyMUCK it is faster than MPI and commonly used for larger projects.

==Types of MUCK Servers==
*[[TinyMUCK]] - Original fork of [[TinyMUD]] that added the MUF programming language (as its most notable feature).
*[[FuzzBall MUCK]] - Current most popular TinyMUCK server that runs the two biggest servers.
* '''GlowMUCK''' - Fork of NeonMUCK. It allows for ANSI color and multiple [[wizard]] levels. [http://glowmuck.sourceforge.net/ GlowMuck's Support Home Page]

* '''NeonMUCK''' is a defunct MUCK project that was derived from a couple of lesser known derivatives of [[FuzzBall Muck]] 5.x - PuebloMUCK and RattyMUCK. Its primary feature was the addition of displaying ANSI color. [[GlowMUCK]] is a fork of NeonMUCK 1.x focusing more on stability and multi-platform compatibility. [[ProtoMUCK]] is derived from the NeonMUCK 2.x code and focuses on adding more extensive features such as additional prims, SSL and SQL support.

*'''ProtoMUCK''' is a [[MUCK]] server program that is the direct descendant of [[NeonMUCK]] 2.x which itself is derived from [[RattyMUCK]], [[PuebloMUCK]], and [[FuzzBall MUCK]]. It attempts to maintain software compatibility with them while adding features. These features include: extensive ANSI color support, multiple wizard levels, @gag support, file access primitives, and more. Proto also maintains partial compatibility with older [[GlowMUCK]] and [[NeonMUCK]] server software, including their style of ANSI color encoding.

ProtoMUCK developers include [[Akari]], [[Alynna]], [[Hinoserm]] and [[The Blob]]. The ProtoMUCK project has often placed an emphasis on developing and adding unique new features.

== Furry-themed MUCKs ==
''This is just a highlight - for a virtually complete list, see [[Rhal's Furry MU*s Connector]] or explore WikiFur's [[:Category:Multiplayer_worlds|multiplayer worlds category]].''

* [[FurryMUCK]] - The "original" MUCK for furries.
* [[FurToonia]] - For furries and cartoony characters alike, one of the oldest MUCKs.
* [[Sociopolitical Ramifications]] - A sci-fi furry MUCK, with 60-80 connections nightly.
* [[Tapestries MUCK]] - An adult-oriented MUCK with no human characters allowed. This is the largest furry-themed MUCK in terms of users, attaining about 800 connections at peak time.
* [[Flexible Survival]] - An adult-oriented MUCK. Focuses on transformation in a post-apocalyptic environment. Connections usually range from 70 to 130, with an all-time peak of 145.

Songbird:

The List of furry-themed MUCKs strikes me as being something of a haphazard list at the moment, and the homepage links in particular are distracting. I think something more constrained - perhaps a few of the largest MUCKs and a few notable by theme - would be a better thing to have in this article. Such retooling would involve some deletion, although I think the information here is already within our articles on the various MUCKs. Thoughts? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:46, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

:I definitely agree with the homepage link removal. It might also be interesting to somehow find out the most popular MU*s and list them in that order, similar to the 'lists of conventions by attendance' page. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]]

::I think at least two or three articles mention popularity or size (Tapestries, FurryMUCK, and... some science-fiction one, I think?), so that would be one place to start. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 20:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

:::I started the list by adding the two definite toppers, so if you or anyone else wants to help determine the most popular MU*s, feel free to add to the list. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 05:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

::::This might be of some help: [http://bristol.riverdark.net/tracker/tracker.php?start=1&sort=wp MUstats tracker] - but it's a little difficult exactly which are the most populated, as it's real-time tracking, so it fluctuates daily. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 05:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]]'s revert, which I just reverted: I was bringing the list back up to four Mucks after moving something that was not a Muck to the MUSH page. This really does represent the dropoff. AFAIK 37 is the next high. (furtoonia at 35, puzzlebox at 20). Unless you know of a Muck that is currently more popular or a functional mustats tracker... keep in mind the current drop off in highs from #1 to #3 is 890 (taps) to 88 (SPR) --[[User:WhiteFire|WhiteFire]]([[User talk:WhiteFire|talk]]) 20:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
:SpinDizzy has a max of 37 too, but currently 8 players, vs. Le Jardin's 18 online right now. I really don't remember any other popular mucks to check at this time. --[[User:WhiteFire|WhiteFire]]([[User talk:WhiteFire|talk]]) 21:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

::Regardless of the drop-off, I don't think anything less than an average of 50 connections is worth listing. [[TLK MUCK]], [[Sunrise MUCK]], and [[Meadows MUCK]] have all reached at least 50 connections in the past year, but that doesn't mean they're worthy of being listed as 'most popular' MUCKs. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 21:27, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

:::If they have higher counts they may make better examples. I don't particularly see why it has to be limited. 50 max connections '''is''' big these days for Mu*s. the Mudding population has dropped off a lot. I think people should be given a decent list of examples of what Mucks are these days. Maybe the section should just be called "examples" like it is in the MUSH article. If you have researched those MUCKs as larger than Le Jardin, feel free to insert them. --[[User:WhiteFire|WhiteFire]]([[User talk:WhiteFire|talk]]) 22:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

''Rhal's Furry MU*s Connector'' new submission page is no longer functional, and the page has not been updated since 2012. I advise no longer referencing the website due to inactivity and incompleteness of the list. -- Songbird 18:24, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

==List of servers, but not clients?!==
I can't be the only one who finds this odd. While few people will be running their own servers, MANY people will be trying to connect to them. I've been considering joining a MU* or two, and I can't very well do that without a client. As someone new to the idea, not knowing who to turn to/trust for a good bit of software to do the job, this really turns me away from it. I know WikiFur isn't exactly the MUCK encyclopedia, but surely if servers get their own mention, a few major clients should too? This article seemed the best to comment on, and is actually the best lead so far due to a single [http://www.furtoonia.net/help.html link] to a poorly contrasted (eyestrain, hard to read) and outdated (dead/deprecated links) help file.

Information in general for true newbies seems to be pretty scarce. For anyone else looking, there is also a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_MUD_clients Comparison of MUD clients] on Wikipedia, but this does little for someone who doesn't know what a MUD client should be able to do, or what software works best with what servers, or even what's free and what isn't.

Sorry if I went on a little bit of a rant there; it just feels like this is a massively overlooked point, or else it assumes that I'm supposed to magically have the knowledge I need. A link to an up to date FAQ for MU* newbies would go a long way. Until then, I'll be using Telnet... [[User:Crysm|Crysm]] 03:04, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

:A link to the Wikipedia clients page has been added to the article. A stop gap measure for now, but thanks =) - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:42, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

'''Flexible Survival''' a text online game for transformation fans.

Flexible Survival is a game of transformation, adventure, and wanton acts of lust.

The Promethean Nanites have been unleashed, in part due to the acts of one of its major researching companies, Zephyr Inc. These nanites, also referred to as the Promethean Plague, the Nanite Plague, the Scourge and numerous similar titles, are virus-based artificial swarming strains of proteins and enzymes controlled by microtransponders. Communication went down hours after release, and the populace was reduced, in large, to gibbering, insane, mutants of all shapes and perversions.

You are part Zephyr Inc, RSX, or the Prometheans, piecing together what's left. Your mind has been spared dissolution or subversion, but your body remains like stiff clay to the untiring fingers of the Promethean Nanites, constantly adapting to shape new forms.

An adult erotic [[MUD]]-like game.

Features:
* Dynamic body changes while fighting, gain and lose powers on the fly!
* Master the powers you want and keep them even if you change (You can master more as you gain levels)
* Improve your mastered powers for more awesome!
* Supplement your mutant powers with gear and equipment!
