Potentially Frequently Asked Questions

What is this stuff?
This is a site where members of the Discworld mud can send in some statistics about their character and see who is best at things.

Will you add guild points to the list?
No.

How do you know that players send in true data?
I don't. But if someone sends in 'improved' data that is just to good, they end up on top and people starts to wonder who this person is. Cheaters tend not to stay long in this mud, so the system is muchly self purging.

I have an idea for improvement, will you add it?
If it is a good idea, there is a great chance I will. There is also a great chance something else is more important at the moment. Please mud mail your idea report to me using my mud char "filey".

Is my password stored in encrypted format?
No, it is not. With access to the database you can read the password in plain text. I will not abuse this information, but it is still up to you to decide how much you trust me.

Are you planning to introduce encrypted passwords?
Yes. But it will take a (long) while.

Someone have added me without my permission!
Let me know on the mud (mud mail or tells), and I will change your password and mud mail it to you.

Someone keeps adding me, and I do not wan't to be here.
Let me know (see previous question) and I will add you to the block list.

I found a security hole in your scripts.
I'm sure you did. Do you mind telling me?

Do you alter players data?
Not systematically, but it does happen someone sends in non-true data that I can check and if so, I might bother to change it manually. But I do not do any 'sweeps' on the database. I must stumble over it in the database, I do not activly search.

I added a char that does not exist in the mud.
Yes, you can do that. Please remove the entrance.

I won't!
Then maybe I'll do it.

Why did you do this?
No one else did it, and I saw the need. I also find it fun to work with.

Some lame newbie is on the top position in a list
He most likely have sent in an empty datafield and they end up on top by default. This is a bug but it is low prio atm.

How come that guy is a higher position than me when he suck!?
When two players have the same value, for example rating in the "rating" field, the guy who first sent in his data comes on top.

I am just a humble worthless good for nothing newbie. Am I worthy of joining this list o great hackur guru?
Yes.

Will you add skills here?
No. See the Gothmudders skill site for that purpose.

Will you show actual data?
No. This list is about possitions only. You don't know how much better you have to be in one area to climb one position. That's part of the concept.

This guy is cheating. He says he got 0 in something I know he have at least one of.
If this is deaths or logins, they are not cheating. Players who submitted their data before I added datafields for this and who has still not updated their data has zero logins and deaths. No one can have zero logins, since then they would not have created their char in the first place.

Does the word "fukt" in the url have anything to do with human reproduction?
No.

I just became a creator, shall I remove myself from the list?
You now have two options: a) Delete your account. b) Update your account and check "yes" at the new and shiny "creator" option. This will make you invisible on the list. Please only do this if you realy do go cre. It is not intended as an invisibility list for players who whant their account hidden for any reason.

I am going to delete my charachter from the mud, shall I delete it from here to?
Yes.

Is this page still active?
My activities on the MUD server goes up and down. I may or may not play active at this point. This page however is active till I say it is not.
