Damn shame. Sloth down on a day when I was actually free and could mud for hours. Instead of just logging on and being afk.
So. How long is Sloth gonna be down?
Until someone can kick it.
Lev: [i:2b9ur0h2]Excuse me, but I think I know how to fix this. [/i:2b9ur0h2]
Kj: [i:2b9ur0h2]Move it! You don’t know the components! [/i:2b9ur0h2]

Don’t look at me, I was reading a spellbook at the scribes. I think, but could be wrong, that the server is in Canada so if anyone is to be at fault, blame Canada :twisted:
Damn Canadians! This mud ever coming back up? It’s been a whole 3 hours since I’ve played, I need my fix please. :p
[Woof]
Gosh, South park was funny last night. Minch and Gary started out rough but the joke got funnier and funnier as it went on.
“Blame Canada!” wasn’t bad, either.
I would note that the webcam is up, so it is probably not a problem with the server. As mentioned above (err, below on this board) it probably needs KJ and/or Splorkie to intervene. Wait. Relax. It will come back up.
Qa
still down? cant get a ping and tracert stops on the same ip that reports the destination cannot be reached….and its not sloth’s ip…
Hmm, sloth is down for me too and I’m in Australia. Different tracert for me, what ever is down, is close to the sloth end.
Sometimes because of my location I can’t connect, well everyone from the US plays on :(
Is their a way to configure Wintin to try to re-connect every few minutes? It interupts my time-wasting to keep hitting connect every few minutes.
BLah, time to play sme golf I guess…
It’s a mystery to me :roll:
I feel to firstly apologise for wasting your time wasting zing, but here is how you do it.
It was splork or 12345 that posted a wintin script that allows you to type in a command and it fully logs you into sloth and runs your startup scripts…
Get a copy of that and paste it in.
Now in wintin set a #timer to call that login alias :)
Or you can just do it simple like this… but it won’t log you in if its up…
#timer connect ::60 {#ses slothmud.org 6101}
The 60 is 60 seconds.
Don’t forget to #untimer if it works!!!
Ok, You officially know too much, Step away and wait for the men in white coats to whisk you away 8)
Splork was logged but he could have as easily been afk asleep or whatever. Guess when he comes back and sees it he’ll check and see whats up… in the mean time..if anyone wishes to start a flame war or bash Autobot to pass the time.. :twisted:
I blame Mystery! :twisted:
We all know that spellbook you were reading was ‘101 ways to crash a mud.’
For my next trick, I’m going afk and crashing the internet. :roll:
You guys are too funny….. :P
This is Bell…BTW
I blame ummmm that young errand boy!
I say we should have a chat room on the website! :)
There are 5 anonymous users and 10 registered users online. I wonder who they are…The names used to be listed somewhere…
Nod, I suggested that before, most people agreed. Maybe there is some reason why there isn’t… like…
LIE STILL! YOU ARE DEAD :(
switch to slothmud chat window
Jezer> I’m dead at kobold sage, can someone please come get me…
Guinex> smoke
But I mean that’s why we use ICQ :)
Woulda thought dropping chat java package thingy would be cakes to do on this site. shrug
Nobody can get to the server. We’ve told Jake, but no word back yet.
A chat service would be good….for those of us who can’t download im’s.
Slothmud has left this channel: Processes.
tell Slothmud Just checking to see if ur ok :)
Slothmud is unable to respond right now.
gos Slothmud is DOWN!!!
tell Jake MUD’s DOWN!
Jake is unable to respond right now.
gos Jake is DOWN!!!
Looks like another murder suicide… :roll:
I guess we’ll just have to pray for the server to be back up again. Time to go hang out with my friends:D
Oh no, that’s Jezer’s death pinger again! RUN!!!
tell ken Just checking to see if ur ok :)
You tell the happy bellhop ‘Just checking to see if ur ok :)’
ct Ken has left the building.
Cackle! :twisted:
I am currently auctioning everything in this building for the price of one restring, one scarab of destruction, and a set of mantours! Once my demands are met you may have your mud back! :P

LIES! :evil:
Jezer is REALLY bored! And so are we…
Lies indeed Jezer, lies indeed!
Well 10 hours of tring to get in I give up for the day. Hopefully it will be running in the morning.
Nooooooooooooooooooo
:(
i was actually quite attentive at work today. even my boss was curious. bleah. this must be a wake up call! one of these days i am going to dream about getting swarmed by a ga-ziillion zombied kobolds out for revenge at night.
Love the beard … Foxy.
It’s so foxyish. :P
Hmmmm, I don’t like this. I don’t like it at all. In the hours since the mud went down, I’ve been going slowly insane. I went out in the fresh air, did some trombone practice, did a few chores around the house. I played with my children, wrote a letter to my grandmother, and cooked for my wife. There’s a distinct possibility of my having sex tonight. SOMEONE FIX THE MUD!!!! This can not go on :cry:
It being a Friday to boot… could be after the weekend before any kind of normalcy is restored. I think I’m gonna be sick.:mrgreen:
Love the beard … Foxy.
It’s so foxyish. :P[/quote:oueu7g0j]
Not much choice available in the gallery, but i love this one! :D
Thought I could use the mud as an excuse not to go out and get drunk and stoned. :(
Guess I’m going to a party tonight … So sad, so sad… :cry:
I’m use to being afk while Sloth is up but being afk while it’s down? I just don’t know…. :D

Apparently the kobold sage has gotten quite a bit tougher than I remember. :lol:
If you look at live (HA!) info you’ll see a list of who’s currently logged in .. erm … presumably who was logged in when Sloth crashed (I thought if didn’t crash anymore?)
From that I see Splork was logged in at the time … why is he always logged in when it crashes? Is there some connection here? Call me a conspirousist if you like (or a bad speller even) but perhaps if we banned Splork the crashes may stop?

Wow, I guess it’s a good thing I gave up last night and went and watch Kong. Been 15 Hours since I was last on, I’m getting the shakes, I got circles around my eyes, I can’t sit still. Someone help. I might start acting sloth out in real life. If my town ends up being slaughtered by hordes of wraiths followed by the insane cackle of an undead poodle, it wasn’t me, I never posted this, and you never saw me.
However If I pop a spellshield book I’ll try to somehow get it back into sloth, anything anyone wants me to keep an eye out for in my hometown?
Yeah doggie I’m hanging out for some dwarvish rations if you find some. Cheers.
I woke up this morning and came downstairs scared as hell. I started hearing all these chirping noises, and saw brightness outside. I don’t know if this is just an adverse side affect of playing Sloth too much but, I think there’s a whole world outside of these walls! Everything is in color, and has shape and form! I cannot see the coding behind it all, but it’s quite frightening. My magic seems not to work, I cannot summon my juju, and I can’t see who else is currently in this world, there’s no ‘who’ list of any sort. If anyone can tell me what’s going on, I’d really appreciate it.

just in case someone might have missed this.
I would like to point out that it was Tincts 10th post, little pup has now made it to double digits :twisted:

Your magic is just different. You’ll find that you have running water and can ride around in a self-proprelled steel box. If you’re looking for the ‘who list’, that would be the phone book, you can generally find it somewhere near the phone. You can still ’tell’ people using the phone, but complete strangers won’t be nearly as helpful as they are on sloth. Breathing heavy might get you a quick visit from the police… which is the real life version of the sash.
Just some quick pointers, I don’t recommend trying to use your fly spell or your water breathing spells… they’ll just end badly. You can improvise the fireball spell using an natural gas or oil lines in your house… but I don’t recommend that either. Sticking a screwdriver into the holes in the walls will improvise the lightning bolt spells… I don’t really recommend that either.
As far as undeads, I’m sure there’s at least one cemetary near you somewhere, you can probably get it’s address, or the address of a good funeral home out of that phone book thing (locate object spell) and get there in the metal box (mount). If you manage to raise a corpse… let me know. If you try and are unsucessful, be prepared to spend a lot of time in jail. Protection from Evil might be a handy spell to have there, but I doubt it will work.
Best of luck :wink:
YOU FUC KING PUSSIES! I HAVEN’T PLAYED SINCE OCTOBER!!
My who list only shows players in the surrounding areas, Do I need to find a higher level version of the phone book for ‘World Who?’. Also I managed to retreive a corpse form a graveyard, but could not animate it. To adjust for this loss, I attached it to strings and hung into from a tree outside, when the wind blows just right, it appears to be lumbering around under the tree. It will not whoever obey any commands, I can not banish it, and It did not assist me in the fight against the sparrow that attacked my while tying the strings off.
The steel box thing does not move when I say ‘Ya’, I figured it may be tired or hungry, So I attempted to feed it by shoving fresh fruits down a hole I found under the ‘Lid’ On the front of the box. It sounded even worse than when I started…
If anyone knows if I can access Matterhorn from Medina, OH I’d appreciate it. I think I may be able to Solo Ygol with this little green round thing I found in my dad’s old army boxes. It appears to have some sort of pin in it, that, once removed, cuases a short timer to go off. At the end of the timer I’ve noticed a chemical reaction within this device that creates a rather large explosion. I feel I might be able to pop a few extra Staffs of Entwined Serpents. If anyone needs one let me know, I have about 50 of these little round things, I think that’d be enough to cycle him for hours on end.
This has been the longest running time that Autolycos hasnt been dead. Its a new world record. Warning to Auto, if you die in this world its for real. So stay indoors as much as possible!!!! Dont touch anything, especially if its sharp or loaded.
This morning I built a dwarven broad axe out of wrapping paper tubes and packaging tape. A black sharpie works nice to put in your own etchings on the axe.
I created a new mage spell called “stinky bastard”. You simply eat 5 cans of refried beans, 4 raw eggs, and an order of fried onion rings.
It works like an area spell, and from practice I can already clear out 3 city blocks in one casting.
With additional practice and a lighter, the spell “stinky bastard” could also be used as Firewind. Though if you fail the spell its gonna burn bad.
Happy real life mudding.

YOU FUC KING PUSSIES! I HAVEN’T PLAYED SINCE OCTOBER!![/quote:2lebc02i]
it was like a part of me just died on that day in october.
or maybe it was a day in december?
Either the box is down, or the network is down. Jake put in a support ticket, hopefully it will be resolved shortly.
Last time this happened, didn’t they give another box our address? I don’t relish the thought that the game is still up. Sailing back and forth on the boats is one thing, but others could easily be stuck much worse.
Either way, I think I needed Jake’s help to recover my group’s stuff from the ants on Irap. Was quite the mess.
I’ve put my time into writing an area lately. Do you know how hard it is to write 10’s and 10’s of room descriptions? Our area builders do a wonderful job, it must take hours and hours of work to create a nice area. We need to be more thankful to our area builders. I for one read very little descriptions but I will be taking the time to appreciate there work as of now… as of when the mud is up :wink:
Dear god, I have to work all night, without sloth, I…… I may actually have to work! Oh well, I’ll just have to pack the flask! :shock:

(starting up: Fri Apr 21 11:32:25 2006 )
Attempting Connection to ‘slothmud.org 6101’… Failed
The Connection checker was not able to connect to ‘slothmud.org 6101’. This could be caused by several factors:
The machine ‘slothmud.org’ is possibly down, or linkless at the moment
The mud server has crashed and has not rebooted (yet).
The network is unreachable
In case the server is just temporarily down you might try waiting 5 or 10 minutes and then checking the connection again. [/quote:11muktlk]
5 or 10 minutes ? Ha!

I’ll have you know, I haven’t died in almost 3 weeks. But that is quite possibly due to the fact that I have not been on. I have been enjoying this strange anomaly called a life.. it is quite interesting.. everyone should try it.
Well, everyone except for Mosaix, you should just try a cianide shake with a arsenic chaser :twisted:

that was fun :)
managed to get slothmud III on there for a minute
so whats wrong with the mud? :arrow: :?:
Simpest answer? No one can connect to it.
It was brought to the attention of the creators who cannot connect to it to reboot it. So, it was brought to Jake who has to contact the host and figure out why the machine isn’t talking to the net.
Unfortunately, this happened once before and it turned out that someone else was using our address, which meant the game was still going, we just weren’t there.
We haven’t really heard much beyond that.
this is by far the most depressing thing to ever happen while i was at school………besides having"spring supprise" for lunch
Looks like it is coming back on line. Pings and trace route is working.
Winsock error 10061:Connection Refused :oops:
I blame Dot
Well as long as we didn’t get into the top 3 slot on mudconnect I’d say vote vote vote.. at least we can grab some numbers and edge forward… that way when Sloth is back up we can easily slide into a higher slot and actually be up for peeps to come check us out.Wait, did I say that?
F’n ventriloquette spells… stop that!!!
Helloooooooo Sloth!
hello
Its alive smoke
