RL skills that mudding has improved

Postby Galkar » Thu Mar 29, 2001 7:56 pm

Heh, just a curious question to see what you come up with. Mudding has helped me with a few things....

Got rid of that nagging girlfriend that spends my money
Learned to type damn fast
Increased ability to stay awake/sleep less

That's about all I can think of

Well i dont know about GOOD habbits, but its made me realize im an actual freak.

I find myself wanting to send "tells" to my rl friends and family, or to actually SAY boggle, rofl, lol, etc instead of just thinking it. Bad habbits form quite easily and rapidly. My family thinks im nutz.

Knowing that i could fall back on my typing and/or assassination skill could be a bonus! nod me

Yeah mudding improved my typing skills tremendously. Before I started I would have to look at the keyboard and I'd probably type no faster than 30 wpm. Now whenever I do the test at www.learn2type.com It's always 90-100. Not sure how accurate that is but I'm sure I type damn fast now - I should get a secretarial job Image

I couldnt type for crap before I started Sojourn, I could type so-so from playing Tele-Arena on a nearby BBS in my town. As for the staying-up-until-6am-mudding thing, I already did that =P

my typing has improved dramatically

i find that people are people, and my ability to interact with people away from the game has improved 10-fold, hell, i can be a total ass in public with no shame anymore, somehow i think its all muddings fault.

hrmmmm

I say boggle and nod a LOT, way too much. People think this is a little weird. The main problem is that I don't catch myself doing it.

I can remember during my college days when I first started to mud. Some of my buddies and I were at a pizza place, talking about how to cheeze the band of aided flight off of the baron's daughter (back when it was perm fly). You can imagine a group of us talking out loud about "Buying prostitutes from the brothel and ordering them to kill the peddler when the daughter was in the room"

We got plenty of looks that night..

I tell you one thing, this is something that has gotten worse over the years....

Take AIM for example:

Cutegirl: what are you doing?
Galkar: Not a damn thing
Galkar: l
Galkar: scan
Cutegirl: what?
Galkar: oops
Cutegirl: ok, you're weird.....


Sigh, happens to the best of em i guess....

Lithel beat me to it.

Sojourn taught me how to sober up in a hella fast hurry.

You group-say 'guys.. heh.. I'm really fucking drunk'

Gormal leaves north.
You follow Gormal.

A white dragon ROARS! filling your heart with sheer terror!
You flee south.

You feel more sober.

You walk north.

not YOU, Jas *wink*

typing speed has increased dramatically .. but so have the typos!!! my brain works faster than my fingers, and anymore i just say screwit and include the typos..

i am also one of the most annoying pests ...the lack of punctuation and capitals letters..and these STUPID dots....

believe it or not i am VERY literate, and super-hype on vocabulary and spelling (i am the expert at work)

is also hard to explain the icq messages that start out

gcc
gsay
say
emote
tell

bleh who else will admit to it??

Jen: tell frobakhal hey hun
Frobakhal: you dork Jen
Jen: bleh crap u do it too

I do that too! I'll be chatting with my mom and wayt to do

Slinky: Gsay Hey mom, how's dad?

She always ignores it, like a trooper!

Other than that, my typing skills are probably the only thing good thats happened with mudding.

I can make hotdogs REALLY fast!

Though I would have to say my typing suffers in a certain way, I cannot type the word rational withour having to correct it from rations. Image
