MUCK = Multi-User Created Kingdom
MUSH = Multi-User Shared Hallucination

H'llo furfen...

The question's been tormenting me for quite some time... and I just can't
find out the answer to it yet. And, of all the FAQs I've read (maybe I
just haven't been reading the right ones), I still can't find the answer.

what on earth does the -CK on MUCK stand for (as well as the -SH on MUSH)?

Any posts or replies would be appreciated, serious or not.

For some reason when I read this post the translation

Micole,
Usually
Cheerful
Khromat

popped into my head. Now I'm probably going to have acronyms floating
around my semi-concious all day :)

(Then again, I once named a bad-guy-agency in a superhero RPG the
Monolithic, Omnipresent Oganization for Sheer Evil...)

Was there, perchance an opposing good-guy agency called Superhero QUestIng
Researchers Removing Evil Lowlives?

(Yes, of course it's me. Kay dot shapero at salata dot com... :->)
