Some of you may recognize the format. This character was ever so popular, but the secret is that you have to be playing a game where a significant portion of the player base is looking for a jerk.

Jerks should, in my opinion, also be open to being beaten up, abused, and generally humiliated from time to time. People love to rp taking down someone who desperately deserves it! Because of the necessity of getting beaten down in order to raise the popularity of a jerk, though, it is very difficult to play one on a MUD as opposed to a MUSH, because you invariably lose stats or levels or something for losing a fight in a MUD, thus making the jerk remain low level, thus making him or her less of a "jerk" and more of a "punk".
