Legend of the Red Dragon, Mafia, Trade Wars 2000, etc.

Those kind of games. Are they possible via Tilde?

Don't you have to buy a license or something dumb for TW2002? I can't
remember. I played it over telnet a lot before but I don't know if it
has a ssh mode.

Maybe relevant: https://github.com/erikh/trade

Brought Trade War because it's a name I remember. Truthfully my being
online Just barely missed the BBS era and kid me was dismissive of the
whole thing when a friend of mine was asking if any of the school
computers had a dialup connection to play LoRD (keep in mind i was also
getting into MUDs at the time so... hypocrisy, yay!)

One of the /many/ reasons I want to punch that younger dumber version
of me.

Do you know any good MUDs? I really like the concept but I hate RPGs and roleplaying (lol). So I need to make my own MUD or something.

Lots of TW2002 related documents like strategy guides. I was playing
TW2002 a few years ago and writing my own client program. It's a lot of
fun but I got distracted with other stuff.

I'm obsessed with games that you can play "at a higher level" by
programming (and that are actually fun) like GreyHack, KSP with
kOS, TW2002, ....? But the funny thing is they can start feeling
like work to play! And I'm not even a software guy IRL!

I was more in the story telling and roleplay aspects for... awhile. As
it turns out when a community puts value on passive aggressivness and
cliques form around who's staff or staff buddies? Being aggressivly
outspoken is a negative. I hung up the MUSH client ...years ago for the
most part.

Well it's diffrent when it isn't your literal job. Still is in hobby
territory even if your game of choice ends up looking like a self
updating spreadsheet.

Maybe LambdaMOO (lambda.moo.mud.org port 8888) might be interesting to
you? It has both social and RPG areas -- you can sit around the
swimming pool and chat, or dive to the bottom of the pool and fight
goblins in the tunnels down there.
