KoL: Too Funny

Y'know, a lot of MUD imms could stand to learn a lot from the way KoL handles its events. Their devs have a masterful way of building suspense and gossip. Over days. How?

Small changes. But noticeable small changes. And persistent changes. It creates a sense of history.

And of course, it helps that KoL has the most hilarious sense of humour ever. How can you not like an event where Hagnk's Mostly-Burned-Down Ancestral Mini-Storage (itself burned down in a previous event) becomes Hagnk's Mostly-Burned-Down-then-Hit-By-a-Chunk-of-Comet Ancestral Mini-Storage? Not to mention the nearby Observatory had a massive ball of ice from the comet coming down on top of it. :)

At the Grim Grimacite Site, there were *suspense music plays* *drumrolls* TENTS nearby...

Today I log in again, and stuff has changed yet again! The ball of ice melted. :P So now we have the Wet Remains of an Observatory...and Hagnk's is now Hagnk's Mostly-Burned-Down-then-Hit-By-a-Chunk-of-Comet-then-Flooded-by-the-Melting-Comet Ancestral Mini-Storage.

*rofl*

Oh, and the tents at the site have now become pre-fab huts... *da dum*

I wonder if there's going to be an entire 'Spore'-like simulation of civilization going to occur before we get the "take me to your leader" scenarios?

Fingers crossed for tomorrow and 06/06/06. Significant date and all that.
