mudhead
A {MUD } player who eats , sleeps , and breathes MUD .
Mudheads have been known to fail their degrees , drop out ,
etc . with the consolation , however , that they made wizard
level . When encountered in person , on a MUD or in a chat
system , all a mudhead will talk about is three topics : the
tactic , character , or wizard that is supposedly always
unfairly stopping him /her from becoming a wizard or beating a
favourite MUD ; why the specific game he /she has experience
with is so much better than any other ; and the MUD he or she
is writing or going to write because his /her design ideas are
so much better than in any existing MUD . See also {wannabee }.
To the anthropologically literate , this term may recall the
Zuni /Hopi legend of the mudheads or "koyemshi ", mythical
half -formed children of an unnatural union . Figures
representing them act as clowns in Zuni sacred ceremonies .
