I highly doubt the examples you gave are RPIs. Killing somebody for breaking an OOC conversation would probly put the mud in the realm of non-RP (in an RPI, you shouldn't even have OOC conversations in the middle of the mud), in my opinion, unless it was players breaking the rules of the mud and they were severly punished for it. This is the kind of confusion that is created when people twist around the meanings of the acronym. I'd be interested in knowing what muds those are though.
All your arguments for the 'elitist snobbery' of RPIs comes from the fact that you seem to think everybody else is saying non-RPIs are lesser when in fact, most aren't. It is a self-implied statement. You say I think this is true, and assuming that it is true, I will prove that it is true. There is nothing "misleading" about the term RPI, it is a type of mud, and a type that you don't seem to understand very well, given your examples of the "RPI"(which really weren't) that you played.
