> What is, in the eyes of the IMMs, a good role?
> What person is best? 1st, 3rd?
> What presentation is the best: naration, reports, encyclopedia entries, etc?
> How much does the language (literary, normal, popular, broken) count?
> How much of the MUD knowledge should be in there (exotic places, far-away cities, ancient history, etc) and how much does it count?
> How much does originality count? (why did I ask this question, again?)
