Re: What Does "Fair" Mean?
By this, I'm thinking you mean directly affect gameplay, in that said t-shirt/mug sales might be affecting gameplay in general by making it possible.
More accurately said, the mud owner (aside from money issues) could just as easily be avoiding the -appearance- that money affects gameplay, which could happen even if no money changes hands.
I don't see this as necessarily true, nor a logical conclusion. I can easily see a secret policy being enacted because making this a public policy might change the complexion of the game in a way that might cause players to leave. It may not be the point Thresh is trying to make, but I've seen enough public PR-based stances compromised privately that I'm not that naive.
