| title = Genocide | image = | developer = Project community | engine= LPMud | platforms = Platform independent | released = 1992 | genre = Pure PK MUD | modes = Multiplayer }} Genocide is a MUD, a text-based online game, focused exclusively on player-killing.{{R|shahromine|ywwr}} Founded in 1992,{{R|reese-1st|geno-home}} it was influential as the first such "pure PK" MUD,{{R|reese-1st}} and has met with positive critical response.{{R|ywwr|netgames|carton}} Game characteristicsGenocides gameplay is based around "wars", sessions of PvP conflict, that restart at frequent intervals.{{R|ywwr}} Character development as it is normally known on MUDs is completely absent, with the only advantages that experienced players have consisting of knowledge of the game structure.{{R|ywwr}}Genocides setting is the "Island of Genocide", which is subdivided into domains and, within domains, areas.{{R|geno-maps}} The world is vaguely medieval fantasy in theme, with a tremendous variety of character options available within that context.{{R|geno-rcs}}Player character death on Genocide inflicts no lasting harm. However, kill and death statistics are tracked, and the kill-to-death ratio is the main way in which relative social status of players is measured.{{R|busey}} The social atmosphere on Genocide, not atypically of a highly competitive gaming environment, is noted as hostile and replete with crass language.{{R|netgames}} Technical infrastructureIn 1992, Genocide served as a crucial development testbed for the MudOS LPMud driver.{{R|reese-geno-mudos}}, though in 1994, Genocide abandoned the MudOS driver and was ported to the main LPMud branch, citing speed concerns.{{R|reese-geno-lpmud}} Genocide uses a game driver derived from the LPMud 3.2.1 server software, also known as the Amylaar driver.{{R|shahromine|netgames}} Its mudlib is homegrown. InfluenceGenocides ideas influenced a number of MUDs that emulated its pure player-versus-player orientation.{{R|shahromine}}References1. ^{{cite book | last1 = Towers | first1 = J.

Wild Web Rides | publisher = IDG Books Worldwide Inc. | year = 1996 | isbn = 0-7645-7003-X | pages = 149 | quote = Genocide is a breakneck-paced, brutal MUD that has none of the mobs or quests you might be used to. It's a bloody world of kill-or-be-killed where you battle your fellow players in a savage race to the finish. There are several different kinds of fast and furious wars that restart all the time, so you don't have to worry about jumping into the game too late. [...] If you're trying out Genocide for the first time, you'll be glad that everyone starts out on equal ground. [...] The only advantage the veterans have is experience and the knowledge of where to find the good stuff fast. [...] If you have a weak heart or are the kind of mudder who takes pkills against you very personally, you might want to steer clear of this bad boy. On the other hand, if you get sick of trashing beastly fidos and spending dull hours racking up experience points, try out Genocide's nonstop action.}} [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]2. ^{{cite web | url = http://geno.org/ | title = The Island of Genocide | work = Genocide | accessdate = 2010-04-17}} 3. ^{{cite web |last = Reese |first = George |authorlink = George Reese (computer programmer) |url = http://www.rpgmud.com/lpmud_timeline.htm |title = LPMud Timeline |date = 1996-03-11 |accessdate = 2010-04-14 |quote = January 1992 ¶ _Genocide_ starts as the first MUD dedicated totally to inter-player conflict, which is a fancy way of saying that its theme is creatively player-killing. |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20120226122409/http://www.rpgmud.com/lpmud_timeline.htm |archivedate = 2012-02-26 |df = }} 4. ^{{cite book | last1 = Maloni | first1 = Kelly | last2 = Baker | first2 = Derek | last3 = Wice | first3 = Nathaniel | year = 1994 | title = Net Games | publisher = Random House / Michael Wolff & Company, Inc. | isbn = 0-679-75592-6 | pages = 94 | quote = If combat is what you're looking for and you're not put off by crass language, violence, and a hefty amount of information to take in, Genocide offers some of the best player-killing entertainment around.
