Valg, you're talking to morons who aren't thinking, they're regurgitating what they've been led to believe without taking the time to analyze exactly what it is you're saying or those they're defending are saying. They don't understand your point because the results of your system don't agree with the uninformed, preconceived opinions they already possess and have been fed.
I do find it funny to see the number of low-post names that have suddenly appeared in this discusssion supporting IRE now that Matt fled crying because his bull**** propaganda was being drowned out by logical alternatives to make this site more useful to the MUDding community instead of turning it into a brothel for the Viagra MUDs. It says another thing about the ethics of those games which use false advertising to attract victims...er...suckers...er...customers...er..."va lued players".
As for those making some of the stupidest arguments I've seen in a long time: Reality check, everyone! Where do you play? I bet I could guess the vast majority of you do based on your posts in this discussion. So, here's a thought for you. If you happen to play an IRE or other Viagra-MUD, stop and actually think about things instead of just blindly defending your MUD's format as something other than what it is. You may be surprised at what it is you're defending and how ridiculous your claims are.
For Christ's sake, start thinking instead of just acting like puppets for your MUD. You'll be more respected, you won't sound so damned stupid, and your ass will hurt so much less without your MUD admin's arm up it.
Take care,
Jason
