Oh I dunno, I think like all roleplay its got its good side and its bad side. Several players determining in advance a scripted event and putting on a show for others isn't necessarily a bad thing. The obvious advantage is having time to make what might be a ho-hum encounter become something grand and exciting for the whole MUD, something worth talking about.

I agree some of the best roleplay I've seen as far as I know was off the cuff and totally unscripted, but impromptu roleplay does not have the same quality as the preparation that might go into a speech. Also impromptu doesn't allow for series of events to be played out since such things must be coordinated between those involved. I really think its up to the roleplayers themselves to decide unless the MUD itself has rules against it.
