Castle d'Image: The Movie
One of the favorite occupations of MUSHers, or so it seems to me, is to "cast" their MUSHes; that is to say, figure out who ought to play their characters in an imaginary movie. It's all the more fun since you don't have to pay attention to pesky details like whether your ideal actress happens to be dead, seeing as the movie will never actually be made ;) On CDI this entertaining subject has gone the rounds several times, by @mail and by poll, and here are the results, for your amusement.
Some actors have been double-claimed. Many characters may no longer be active or existent. This list is no longer updated.
