[Threshold]

I don't think MUDs are comparable to restaurants.

I think it makes sense to tell the mud admins in advance and actually encourage the admin to tell their community that these folks were going to be giving their game a trial run.

It is more useful/helpful to the MUD community as a whole for any evaluation of a game to at least see it in its best light. As long as every mud the Guild visits gets the same advance warning, then everything is fair.

Not to mention, many MUD communities have been around a long time and could definitely benefit from the fun and excitement of something like this happening.

For example, when did multiple live streams of Threshold that was definitely something the community got super energized about.
