Multiple Username Disorder: A condition that compels those inflicted to create a multitude of aliases on websites such as 'IMDb', in order to praise or defend their own message-board posts -- the ultimate goal being to elevate these aliases to becoming the board leaders, and thereby controlling all topics of discussion. Often, the MUD sufferer will create lengthy message-board threads, in which the posts are entirely by his/her imaginary correspondents.
Every freakin' internet discussion board you check-out these days seems to have a minimum of 2 MUD cases trying to monopolize the conversation with either every single banality that pops into their boring, schizoid minds, or squabbling and name-calling as they compete for the same space – Chief Nut-job.

Multi-User Dungeon.
Many still use this term to refer to a variety of online RPGs, but for the most part, a MUD is completey text-based. Usually the movement of one's character is bound by 'rooms,' or quadrants of area which determine where you are and what you can interact with. Movement generally uses abbreviations for the cardinal directions (n,s,e,w) and sometimes 'in,' 'out,' 'up,' 'down,' etc.
While macros, keybindings and aliases can be created, from the get-go, most commands are typed in, i.e. STAB RAT or BUY SWORD.
MUDs are mainly critisized for being overtly "nerdy" or requiring too much imagination and typing skill. Usually there critisisms come from nearly illiterate RuneScape junkies or snobbish WoW addicts.
Achaea is the best MUD ever.
