RussellMUCK was formed when ["Akili"], desiring to work on [wiki:MUF_%28programming_language%29 MUF] programming with greater permissions than he possessed on the [http://www.tlkmuck.org TLKMuck] server he had an account on, downloaded and started up a copy of NeonMUCK, a now-defunct derivative of [wiki:TinyMUCK FuzzBall] MUCK, which itself was a derivative of TinyMUCK.
Originally called ["Akili"]'s [wiki:TinyMUCK MUCK], the growing number of users (primarily ["Calin"] and ["Paw"], although others agreed) preferred ["Russell"]MUCK, and he fell to peer pressure.
["Russell"]MUCK is a [wiki:TinyMUCK MUCK] server, which has been backronymed Multi-User Chat Kingdom. It is based on the MUD server architecture, with the combat systems removed, and is a play on the word 'mud'. Our server now runs on [http://sourceforge.net/projects/protomuck/ ProtoMUCK] in a [wiki:Linux Linux] operating environment.
The server has historically been by invite only, although guest logins are currently allowed on a trial basis.
It can be reached using your browser at http://www.splitreflection.com/webmuck, thanks to our WebMuck project, or via telnet at telnet://splitreflection.com:8002
It could also be said that ["Russell"]MUCK was the impetus behind the creation of SplitReflection, and the primary reason how all of its users have kept in touch, despite not living in the same physical location. In other words, it's all ["Akili"]'s fault.
