From: bskendig@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Brian Kendig) Newsgroups: rec.games.mud Subject: The more things change, the more they stay the same: TinyAwards 1990 Message-ID: <1992May1.232534.16649@Princeton.EDU> Date: 1 May 92 23:25:34 GMT Article-I.D.: Princeto.1992May1.232534.16649 Sender: news@Princeton.EDU (USENET News System) Organization: Starfleet Academy, Princeton University Fall, 1990. Islandia was going strong. PernMUSH wasn't even an idea. rec.games.mud hadn't been born yet. Bruce was already unpopular. And Kaine held the First Annual, indeed the Only Ever So Far, TinyAwards. In the interests of preserving history and satisfying curiosity (and because I've been asked to dig this up), here once more are the movers and the shakers of muds in mid-to-late 1990.
