BL
noun Abbreviation for 'British Legends', the incarnation of MUD1
played on CompuServe ('go legends' to play it). It's actually a
modification of the classic Essex ((MUD:essex_mud)),
to account for American tastes and CompuServe's idiosyncrasies. This means
that all American traps have been removed,
and certain programming constraints have been imposed (most notably, it has
a seven-second sleep inserted between commands so as not to use up too much
CPU capacity - at that rate, MUD2 players would probably have to endure delays of
seven minutes!). Officially, BL is MUD version 3B.
