RHOSTMUSH [codebase] A MUSH server known for a deep permissions model and a large built-in function set. No MSSP; answers a pre-login WHO. https://github.com/RhostMUSH/trunk Games we have identified as running this codebase 40 listed, 0 archived /games?codebase=RhostMUSH Measured in their handshakes: CHARSET, UTF-8 RhostMUSH is the fourth of the TinyMUSH-descended servers in wide use, and the one with the most elaborate administrative model: its permission and flag system is considerably finer-grained than its relatives', which is the usual reason a game chooses it. Its built-in function library is large, and softcode written for Rhost often does not port cleanly to PennMUSH or TinyMUX without rewriting the parts that used functions the others do not have. WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM OUTSIDE No MSSP. A pre-login WHO that answers with a count. CHARSET is negotiated. That combination — no MSSP, a working WHO — is the MUSH family's signature, and it is why this site probes the login screen at all. On the evidence of our own survey the MSSP and WHO families are nearly disjoint: 28 codebases publish a count through MSSP, seven through WHO, and only two through both.
