TriadCity Message of the Day
2024-11-27

There's a glitch with the Web clients for all three games. Necessary security upgrades have forced replacement of the utility which assembled the programming code into a deployable package. We're on it.

Meanwhile please use one or another of the many alternatives. Most of us play TriadCity nowadays from an iOS or Android device. Phones are great, tablets are awesome. You can also use an old-school MUD client, or if you're geeky enough just plain old Telnet (type "telnet triadplayer.smartmonsters.com 9094" from a command prompt). They all work great.

We expect to have the web clients working again in a day or maybe two. Watch this space.

Thank you for your patience!

Meet you in the City!

Update 2024.11.29: all's well again. Web client back online.

"In 1455, Gutenberg invented the printing press -- but not the book as we know it. Books printed before 1501 are called incunabula; the word is derived from the Latin for swaddling clothes and is used to indicate that these books are the work of a technology still in its infancy. It took fifty years of experimentation and more to establish such conventions as legible typefaces and proof sheet corrections; page numbering and paragraphing; and title pages, prefaces, and chapter divisions, which together made the published book a coherent means of communication. The garish videogames and tangled Web sites of the current digital environment are part of a similar period of technical evolution, part of a similar struggle for the conventions of coherent communication.

Now, in the incunabular days of the narrative computer, we can see how twentieth-century novels, films and plays have been steadily pushing against the boundaries of linear storytelling."
