Re: Guidelines for an RPI mud.
That's what spawned this entire discussion in the first place. A player posted requesting that he wanted an RPI and listed a bunch of features he was looking for. He got flamed for thinking that those features were an RPI. He simply thought that he was requesting a mud where the roleplay was intensive (I'm guessing strictly enforced) and thought that's what RPI stood for. I spent a lot of time thinking RPI stood for the same thing as well but simply never bothered to tack it onto our mud simply because I thought it was just the newest trendy acronym.
Once this discussion dies off, a bunch of players will simply go back to thinking that RPI stands for roleplay intensive mud, and I'm sure this will crop up again, especially with the rather vague definition of RPI that still exists for any site that sports the tag.
