LPMUD Purity Test

Version 1.1 (2000-04-27)
by Johanne of Frontier. CGI by Tyr of Frontier. Copyright © 2000.

Purity tests have been around for years and, although there are a few out there that deal with games of various styles, it appears that none exist for MUDs nor for the specific domain of LPMUDs. This purity test was created not only to fill that void, but to entertain new players and old timers alike.

See just how "pure" you are as an LPMUD player by taking this purity test. It begins with 125 general questions to test your general and historical experience with LPMUDs, while subsequent (optional) 50 question sections specific to particular and participating LPMUDs will test the depth and breadth of your addiction. Each section is scored and averaged independently of others. Skipping a particular section does not influence the averages calculated.

If you administer an LPMUD and would like to contribute a series of questions specific to your MUD in a separate section, please contact Johanne at Frontier. Currently, only 50 questions for each MUD are being accepted.

Please check only those boxes which apply.
