Pah. Traithe, you are no fun.

But, regardless, you are good enough not to fall for the basic logical fallacy traps the whole "I am Medthie^H^H^H^H^H^H^HAchaea!" groupthink.

Nor do you fall for the basic mental traps most of them fall for either. Or should I say, you don't allow yourself to. So, can I assume that I can have a rational, reasoned argument with you on this subject?

It'd be refreshing, to say the least. And I'd be interested to explain my position, in detail, assuming you'd be willing to help keep the posse at bay long enough to rationally discuss this?

Why all the huge words and fancy phrases, its not that huge an argument. Or shouldn't be.

Anyway, you shouldn't just to conclusions too fast- I understand a MUD with 3 people wouldn't be able to get that high, and some are obviously cheating, but its not too difficult to get to the top 10-20 with dedicated enough players. I used to play Daedal Macabre, and even though there were generally 10-20 people on, it still managed to hold the top 5-10 until quite late in the voting. So yes, cheating is bad, but don't just jump on any mud with less than 300 players in the top 10.

And I fail to see how this degenerated into such a large, involved conversation on ethics.

I think this has properly been beaten to death, the horse is dead, it's been flogged, and apparently now being spread on crackers...
