Only with permission. Most such entities consume far more RAM than we can spare. If they are run without permission they will be killed upon notice and your account shut off. Permission can be obtained by sending mail to admin@nyx.net. Please note that requests for IRC bots will be denied. All cron/at jobs require permission. Send mail to admin@nyx.net. Games with daemons will *only* be run on Nyx10 (and only with approval). MUDs are not currently allowed to be run on Nyx. The problem is that these all consume resources even when you’re not logged in, and are hard to regulate. The question is “what if all N-thousand Nyx users did the same thing?” In most cases the answer would be that Nyx would be so slow nobody could log in.
