Re: Guidelines for an RPI mud.

Threshold, stop hating on RPIs. Really; it's childish and unbecoming of a mud admin. Your game isn't an RPI. The people who have already grown accustomed to the term RPI, to describe an RPI, are happy to continue using the term RPI. You don't like it. You have made your opinion clear. So, don't call them RPIs if it twists your knickers so badly. Call them...oh..here's one:

Games That Have Permadeath, Roleplay Enforced, Free To Play, Skill-Based, Levelless, No-Global-Channel, Emote System But Not MUSH, Roleplaying Text-Based MUDs.

You can shorten it to GTHPREFTPSBLNGCESBNMRTB MUDs, the rest of us will call them RPIs, and everyone's happy.
