This is NOT a voting or election, it's simply a collection of answers to
the following questions:
to your mind, name 2 of best players in nanny, 2 best pubs/bars/cafes
(healing places), and 2 best weapons??? short explanations would be very
nice too
=================================================================
Remarks:
First of all, thank you all that bothered to answer.
I tried to keep this query as fair as possible, i.e. all types, guilds,
genders, etc of players got their chance to reply over a period of 10 days.
Secondly, some small observations...
What did strike me at first was the enourmous amount of "smileys"
:=) <:~) that are used. Do we all type like this in
RL too?
What made me happy (sue me) was that it seems no one likes a kill-stealer as
far as these answers are regarded, no known stealers mentioned as MVP
(most valued player).
Furthermore it seems the majority of the players asked value "fun" and
honesty and friendliness highly. As far as healing places are concerned,
cost effiency and weapons depend mostly on what guild one plays.
If the following "wrap" of anwers seems long, I still encourage you to read
it all through. Many of the most distinguished players (by your selections)
make their comments at the very end.
I wish you all a good spring and Nanny-year.
ROWEN (more evil now than before)(blaming my guild)

Firestarter tells you: hmm maybe ... Kherec and Brian, bars...the one near
Paragon and the one on Middle-earth, as weapons for instance dkiss and sword
of infinity.

Thheo replies to you: best 3 pubs : The Rose and Dragon, the local pub /
Three King's restaurant / Milkbar, first one best for alcoholic
drinks, second for food especially for the 4 item in the menu which
heals sp from food, and the milkbar for soft drinks
Thheo replies to you: best 2 players as I see them now thought both are
having a break now are: Special ( ex-chars: Flawless/Zenith/Lostsoul)
the Greater Daemon of Khorne, he really knows how to play mud
, a
very good quest solver, I could say the best
; and the latter
Michel, vampire, very good fighter, best pk and very good quester,
they both have a big knowledge about nanny's areas and stuff like
this
Thheo replies to you: for the best 2 weapons I can't be accurate since I
played mostly my vamp in the last 3 months, but I could name an easy
to get weapon and very good which is Paragon's Axe in sadyc's area;
and of course I would still like Brom's Axe for my khorne.

Gamemail from Lillstrumpa:
- I would say Lys and Keldo. They, among some others, have the qualities I
like in a player. Something that makes the game more enjoyable and fun to
play.
- I like the free and portable healing you get from idling, but I like
Reservoir Dogs Cafe a a lot as well.
- I've always had a crush on the Stormbringer, but I prefer a basic sword,
like galvorn bastard sword, most of the time.
_________________________________________________________________
Bombadill tells you: ok let's see. two best player's I don't know,
but I think lovecraft is good and maybe myx. And milkshop and where
I can buy firebreather is best healing places. I don't know the
best weapons I can't wield the best weapons
_________________________________________________________________
Gamemail from Magarac:
Best Player 1: Arien, solved every quest and find her way through Nanny
Best Player 2: Zeratul (before he was banished)
Best Weapon 1: 'Dkiss' one-hand weapon, and rocks very hard after you
killed a dragon or 2
Best Weapon 2: Wand of Lightnings?? Can take 80hp in one single bolt,
very useful in PK
Best Bar 1: Three kings restaurant, not to expensive and you heal much
Best (sp) healing place: the man not far from Mercenary, that heal 50sp or
so for 250 coins
/that's what I think anyway
___________________________________________________________________
Gamemail from: Moloch
Best players to my mind:
Arx, Cost, Mablung, Newton, Mindeye
Best weapons: depends a lot on the guild your in, but Dragonkiss and Sword
of Lightnings are my favorites.
Best pubs: ...heh....Groda's tavern and Dragon and Rose
___________________________________________________________________
Marie tells you: I'd say Mistress for one of the best....
She is a great example of knightess.., used to help me learn to play
Also she is rather skilled player...Knowing what to do and where to go
Then Gelbart, It takes lots of talents to get to the Head Hunter.
And he is rather great fellow too
I could name more, but these 2 get my
points.
Marie tells you: Best healing places Bixby's and The Rose and Dragon. They
are rather self-explanatory.
Marie tells you: Best weapons...Well call me sentamental but I've always
liked best Stormbringer and Mournblade
, They rock hard. Ofc Hellrazor
is great too

The two best players in Nanny:
Gildor and Sundaar.
Not that any of them should need an explanation, if you've ever met
them in here, partied with them, you'd know. But I will ofc state as
to why I think they are the best players imho in nanny.
They both know the game well, perhaps they aren't as up to date right
now, as they both have been around for a while. However, they know how
to utilize their character, they know how to make the best out of the
mud, AND they are not powertripping people, like most people.
They always have fun. Which is why we're here, isn't it? To have fun
and to use up that creative fantasy side of ours.
Best two pubs:
First, Groda's Tavern, without a doubt. it's neat, nice and the heals
suits my purpose (the combined hp/sp heals). And it's rather cheap.
Then we have The Rose and Dragon pub. Praise it and it's neverending
stock of supplies.
Althought it was to be only two pubs, I must give Bixby a notch for
his specials. Highly appreciated.
The best two weapons in the mud:
Well, my personal favorites (not nessesarily the best two weapons) are
Stormbringer and Sunblade.
I could go say what I think is the best weapon on nanny, but I don't
see why I should, and I think people who code nice and original weapons
should get credit for it.
Unusual weapons with nice theme are much more fun to use.
Now, Sunblade isn't as original, but I don't know, perhaps because I
played Knights so much, perhaps that's why I like it.
Stormbringer is the most personal favorite, because I've read the books
about Elric of MelnibonM-i, and the stories about Stormbringer.

Sarcotome, Kytten - Good players, and almost always in a good mood.
Two people which I admire. Playing performance
isn't everything.
Westport - Buy a special.
Groda - Quick, big heals
Knatul - The famous 'Cha-ching!' It's cool, and it doesn't need
to be boosted. Absolutely no 1.
Dkiss - It's fun. You feel cool, and you never need to sell it to shop.

Eldorin tells you: The Rose and the dragon, Wimpy's burger bar
(not exactly a pub/bar - but I like it)

Best two healing places...
Leowon's river and Merlin.
Best two weapons...
It all depends on what guild you're in.
Best two players...
Almost impossible to say. So many good players out there.

Gamemail from: Mistress
Bearing in mind that I'm an oldie, the best players in my day
were Oriole and Wrath(and his characters). Both great at questing
and fighting too. Oriole is still a great player imo even though
I dont see her much anymore. She has a lot of respect amongst
the Knights Guild too.
Nowadays, I would say the best players are Sundaar(snugs to him
and well, I think Lys is a great player too.
In my opinion, its not how much xp/gc or quest points you have.
Its how respected you are on the MUD. That makes a great player
who people remember.
Okay, as far as healing places go, I like the Knights Pub and
and also heal lots at Caerleon where the atmosphere is relaxing
and quiet. The Restaurant in Valhalla used to be good as well.
Best weapons...ahh...I reminisce about Fafnesbane Gram but dont
use it anymore. The best for me is The Champions Sword (with a
nice pair of gloves - to protect my delicate hands
)
and I also like the Sword of Infinity. For the newbies, undoubtedly
the best is the Assassin's Dagger.
Hope this gives you all you want to know.

Gamemail from: Yunnie
Hey,
The best players in Nanny would have to be Kytten and Sheena. They are both
very lovable fun to be around and make the mudding experience enjoyable.
For pubs/bars ... It would be the pub in bixbi's area it has the original
'special' drink and its just fun.
The second would be on Caerleon because it has all 3 types of healing
availible for all levels where as most you can't eat and drink if you are
only level 1.
Ok the two best weapons would be DemonBlade and Sword of Lightnings both are
very good weapons and I like the extra lines they have for db the talking
and sol's lines.
/Yunnie

Gamemail from: Narcolepsy
Two best players:
Misterpop - cos he helped me out when I was an utter utter novice and has
always been friendly since.
Keldo - again, for advice and help.
(This is probably favourite rather than best, but then, what makes a good
player?)
Two best pubs:
Amylaar's - cos it's close and sells alcohol, drink and food (although it's
always sold out)
Wasted Wizard - cos there's something for hp and sp and it's on Caerleon
where the fighter's live (good kills).
Two best weapons:
Being a kitten they are obviously Warp Reality(nothing else comes close) and
the Kitten himself.

1. Two best players in NannyMUD.
NannyMUD is certainly full of extremely quick players, who make the
best use of their clients, but there are others who use simple telnet
and experience a constant, annoying netlag. For me the ability to play
successfully in such conditions is what characterizes a great player.
Often when the players gradually become experienced mudders, their
attitude towards others drastically changes. It happened to me a number
of times that someone I knew suddenly became "too busy" to reply to
my messages. Luckily, there are a few players who do not fall into that
category.
Mainly for the above reasons, I believe that the two best players on
NannyMUD are: Asterix, and Kherec.
2. Two best healing places in NannyMUD.
Definitely Bixby's, for the amazing special, although it isn't really
a heal. The other one has to be the village pub, for the fact that
it doesn't run short of supplies and for its cozy atmosphere.
3. Two best weapons in NannyMUD.
As a Leper, I feel most comfortable when fighting with my own arm.
After all, it's a part of me and I know all about its strengths and
weaknesses. However, if I was to choose another weapon, it would
definitely be the Axe of Brom. It's extremely powerful and at the same
time extremely dangerous, which makes it a great fun & thrill
the ones who dare to use it.
/Nomeansno the potential Leper Messiah.
