Lost Prophecy. Then the name changed and I can’t remember it. I have a terrible memory. Admin was Aurora and then Eos. When I left I asked if all my areas could be made available for free download and was told no.
I started learning by editing gorillas.bas. Eventually created an copy of my elementary school’s IBM system at a very basic level, from memory! Another kid my same age and I knew all the admin passwords and we would have hacker wars to lock each other out. We were 11. We also played a lot of a game called Chopper that was on the server. It was fucking awesome and i just tried to find it to link and I can’t seem to.
Went on to build areas and program mobs/rooms/items with whatever the hell that language was for a low population MUD. I put in thousands of hours. As far as I know all that work is lost.
Anyway I could have been smart! Instead I discovered that girls are pretty and now I do labor for work.
Oh what could have been. Just kidding, no regrets.
Don’t I know it. I live in West Virginia. Two of my grandparents lived in a company town.

I feel like this could get twisted to the dark side by let’s say Walmart. Live above Walmart, work at Walmart, buy everything you need from Walmart then get cremated there. Probably while on food stamps because they still don’t pay enough.
I don’t have much interest in the NFL but that’s a great graph. You should post on dataisbeautiful.
