It can be used as a game, but it can also just be used an Internet
private conference room. Using simple commands, any number of people
can discuss a topic. All at the same time if they want.:)
I used this extensively a few years ago when I was on a VM machine
with no equivalent to the UNIX 'talk' command. I suppose that is the
one case for which I would recommend a MUD over ytalk--if you don't
all have UNIX machines with talk or ytalk.
