Look, you don't pay for this game, it's a PRIVILEGE that it's here for you to enjoy. While this does not necessarily give the go-ahead to immortal "cheating" as you two call it, it does make your accusations all the more ludicrous and just makes you look like idiots.

If rampant immortal cheating were as big a problem as you, widowson, would like to make it seem, there'd be no playerbase. I doubt very seriously that the imms have put forth all kinds of effort just so that they could play their own mud and be the only ones that play it.

I'm sure that some immortals might "cheat" but I'm also sure that any "cheating" that occurs is trivial at best. I know some immortals use ICQ to at least discuss the game with others, whether or not secrets or answers to questions are passed is unknown, but these people are humans and restricting their right to "assemble" and speak to others would be wrong.

If you think the immortals cheat, don't play the damn game. I think they might a little, but it doesn't bother me in the least, think of it as coming with the territory. It's like the "cheat codes" that programmers sometimes write into their video games. Complaining about immortal cheating is like complaining about people who buy Nintendo Power to find out the cheat codes. It's just stupid.

I would like to point out the word "game" here... yes, it is a game. Not real life where this kind of stuff matters. It is fantasy. The imms run it and can do whatever they want. It makes it interesting. Fantasy means not real.. so don't complain and make anlogies to RL! Koe 14:16:49 12/10/99 (1)
- It may be a game to you, but for me it is my LIFE!!!! I cannot sleep at night unless I get at least one pk. Someone 15:23:45 12/10/99 (0)
