Posted by Zonk on from the i-often-envision-mmog-designers-as-little-men-in-tuxedos dept.

TerraNova has the story that MUD1 co-designer Richard Bartle has been awarded the annual First Penguin Award. The award is given for exhibiting "the courage and bravery of a developer who is the first to test the proverbial waters, in the face of uncertainty of success or failure. Receiving a 'penguin' serves as an inspiration and lesson to the community."

    I hope Darl and his goons aren't reading this. If so, don't you have some paperwork or hearing to worry about?
