I completely agree with this. I think what people who are trying to play a role in a mud need to accept is that the simple fact that they're playing in a world, and that things are going to happen to their character that they didn't anticipate. The essence of roleplaying is dealing with these changes, I think, and I bet the fellow who started this thread is going to end up finding out that his own personal story is made more interesting because of it.
