Re: YART (Yet Another RPI Thread)
Anybody who approaches categorization of such an abstract thing as Role Playing is asking for a silly debate. In the end it's probably best to just allow MUDs to define what category they fall in and allow players who visit to decide if they agree or not. I've been to "RPI" MUDs that enforce nothing, RP Enforced MUDs where beyond the vast majority of players had excellent RP, and all sorts of other combinations. RP on a MUD isn't something that is set in stone, like code mechanics can be, because it all really depends on player activity. So why can't we just let it rest that, if I say my MUD is an RPI MUD, then it is, and if you disagree then write a review to let people who care about such before logging on know about it.
