But an implementor is still, by definition, someone who implements stuff within the mud.

But they're not calling themselves engineers or doctors - they're calling themselves directors. And a director, by definition, is someone who directs - just as an implementor is someone who implements.

That depends on what codebase you're using. Some stock codebases do actually come with "implementor" as a title for the top level immortal, but that's not really any more accurate than muds which have "builder" as a title for a specific immortal level (unless all builders are literally of that specific level).

Which is exactly the same way as I feel about implementors. I suppose the quest makers could argue that they were helping "build" the popularity of the mud by running quests for the players, but that's not the real meaning of "builder" - just as someone who doesn't implement features isn't fulfilling the real meaning of "implementor".
