Discworld drama

If you're not familiar with the Discworld MUD, you might want to skip this post, since it's not really relevant to the outside world. Or read it if you like, I'm not the boss of you.

Firstly I just want to link to this great blog post by Drakkos@Epitaph about the situation.

That out of the way, the main reason for this post is to share this post that Maelin@Discworld posted on the MUD's Flame board. Since the boards tend to scroll off pretty quickly and there is no archive accessible to normal people, I wanted to grab a copy of the post here, because it's great.

Cast

In short, excellent. I think they probably could have done better with Reacher Gilt, but only because he didn't quite work in a couple of scenes. The rest of the time he was fine. Charles Dance as Vetinari and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal as Angua were particularly great, but really they were all pretty well chosen.

Richard Coyle as Moist was far better than I'd anticipated. Having only seen him before in Coupling I was expecting to have difficulty believing him in the role, but it really wasn't an issue at all. Tamsin Greig as Sacharissa was another one I thought I might have trouble with, because when I saw Shaun of the Dead I couldn't help but see her as Fran from Black Books, and she also played a fairly Fran-like character in Green Wing, but she was really good in this.
