Some people like to make a character that fits their own personal roleplay pattern. They have a complete history, personality and RP system set out in their mind when creating the character. And then when they're done making it, it turns out the character doesn't fit the MUD scenario.

Who is at fault here? No-one. The MUD wants everyone to fit a particular pattern, and the player wants to break that pattern. In such circumstances a compromise seems impossible, but it can happen. And unfortunately the majority wins over the individual. If the admin change the rules for just one person, not only will they be altering things for everyone else when they don't need to, but they will also clear the way for everyone to ask for what they want and get it.

As for the player's motive... well, everyone roleplays in their own way. We're not sheep- sometimes, we break the pattern. Human nature. And if someone tries to break the pattern where it cannot be broken... well, that's their problem.
