In the end, if it's significantly important somebody will do it and spread it around - the algorythm to read the ASCII images, that is. You also have to wonder if having such constantly changing and odd syntax won't do more damage to your game than scripting ever will.

Granted. But if you only change one line, that won't be significant enough unless that line is very, very crucial. And then you have to consider that just changing the trigger is actually faster than thinking up the riddle in the first place. Unless you can make the difference in burden be very, very much in favor of the MUD coders, it'll only be a race to change triggers versus changing trigger-lines.

Yes, I completely agree here. Balancing things so the maximum number of players can take part in the activity while keeping it exciting at the same time.
