Actually MOO (MUD object-oriented), not MUD. I used to spend my nights on Little Italy, a server based on LambdaMOO, developed by Pavel Curtis at Xerox Corporation. This was the welcome banner (translated from Italian): --- --- --- WELCOME TO LITTLE ITALY Little Italy is a *living laboratory* for the creation of a digital and distributed society and economy. This laboratory has been created by the Department of Information Science at the University of Milan, under the direction of Prof. Gianni Degli Antoni, with the contribution of Bull Italia, which has kindly provided the Bull DPX/20 Escala 75 server. In Little Italy, you can live, create, work, study, discuss, meet people, develop social relationships, and make proposals for future applications, including those with economic content. Little Italy is not tied to any particular social, political, or economic model, and every citizen is free to contribute to the construction of these models for the digital world. In Little Italy, freedom and respect for other cultures are the required forms of behavior. Little Italy welcomes people from the fields of science, law, art, and anyone who wants to contribute to the construction of a better civilization. In addition, those looking for recreational MOOs or chat lines are invited to disconnect NOW, as Little Italy does not have essentially recreational purposes. * To request a character, send a message to: request@little.usr.dsi.unimi.it * To connect: connect or: connect guest --- --- --- Original version: BENVENUTO IN LITTLE ITALY Little Italy e’ un *laboratorio vivente* per la realizzazione di una societa’ e di una economia digitali e distribuite.
