Well I'm talking about pure H&S or powergaming MUDs, so let's assume they've chosen to use a similar definition of RPG as most video games. They consider themselves "RP Enforced" because the players are forced to play a character (rather than as themselves as they could in a chatroom), and their skills and fighting abilities are determined by that character. In effect, it's a definition that could be applied to all MUDs.

But do you think that all MUDs should be allowed to list themselves as RPE without hostility, arguments, or insults over such usage?
