Re: RP systems for non RP muds
I think this gets distorted by the "RP Accepted" and "RP Encouraged" categories. Presumably, "None" means that either roleplaying isn't possible (i.e. a simulation-type game without free-text commands) or that they actively stop people from roleplaying. Otherwise, it's at least "RP Accepted".
Ultimately, the RP level is going to be determined by how you can expect other players/staff to respond. If you say something In-Character and other players just keep talking about the NHL or whatever(*), I wouldn't say there is roleplaying going on.
(*): Without consequences. Any game which allows speech can have players who step OOC, but the frequency of this obviously gets curtailed if the game penalizes or excludes accounts which do this regularly, or if they reward players for staying IC.
