      Is your grammer your only sin? :-)  Ha Ha. :-)

: Hi! I'm a Implementor of the first italian MUD, a MUD is a role play
: game in internet totally based on ascii text for description and

: Someone may be interested to product some fantasy and common ascii art
: for us?

      To produce good quality, consistent, ASCII art,
it is important to not use graphics user interface
programs, such as windows.

: I have made a banner for "Clessidra" (means sand-glass), this is the
: MUD's name, and some common fantasy object but i'm a poor newbie
: compared to you, and i would some better.

       Can I correctly assume you mean "Hour Glass",
a device to measure the flow of time? :-)

: Look this :

      Ok, it looks like very good art work, but the lines are
too long for some reason.     The first three lines are OK,
but the 4th line wraps, messing up the whole thing.
      I will try to show how it looks to me, and then try
to fix it online in text mode, using the unix text editor "tin".

      It looks good to me in true  text-ASCII  mode now,
the "I" is "dotted" with an hourglass shape, and the scroll
looks very good.

: May someone make a "Clessidra" title and a Sand-glass in ascii ?
: The ascii must be 24 line height and long 70 at least...

      I think somebody here probably has some hourglasses
already drawn. :-)

: In exchange of this favour i will send a Marvellous postcard from
: Rome!
: ...who can ask for anithing more? <;>
:
: Joker - Clessidra >;)

       Please tell me more about the game, and why it 
uses ASCII.

Regards,

Joe Fischer
