the_logos will become famous soon enough
How odd. It was an open secret that many MUDs engaged in the practice. And as you say, it was made illegal. It wasn't illegal when we were doing it. Thus, anyone doing it wasn't cheating until the rule was changed. It's not complicated.

Heh, the technical expertise required is trivial. Every MUD in the top 20 has it. There's little doubt we forced the change in the rules, but considering Synozeer knew about it for 6 months before the rules were changed, it obviously wasn't some big crisis. What's kind of amusing is that we get more votes now than we did then, and we don't offer rewards for voting anymore. We're just good at motivating our players to vote, as is Aardwolf.
