Re: The Non-Cold Non-Hard Non-Facts
I'd like to know what you're basing that (to be clear, that players only care about differences in money policies) on. Even Wikipedia would flag that with a 'needs citation'. As much as players have posted in this thread, they've disagreed. While that's hardly a proof that players feel the opposite, it would seem to disallow calling your version the basic and simple truth.
Taken into non-MUD parallels, your assertions seem even more ridiculous: it equates Enron-at-its-height or the corporation of your choice with the Salvation Army, because they'll both accept money in some form. No one would ever want to differentiate them based on how they accept and what they do with money. The YMCA and the professional health club of your choice? Completely equivalent! If someone asks which model they're under, they should steadfastly refuse to answer. (Personally, I prefer a health club run more professionally, but that very kind of thought is clearly a lie perpetuated by YMCAs attempting to screw everyone.)
The motive doesn't matter if it's ultimately useful to people who want to find a MUD. It matters in judging the actions of said admins, but not in judging whether it's a useful change or not.
