The typical argument now is 'Hey, it's only a game.'.
What's wrong with this argument:
Simple.. there are two types of games. One are computer games like Q3, or Warcraft, where cheating is as simple a dloading a patch, and noone is going to care if you cheat.
Second one is similar to a boardgame you play with friends. A mud should be considered as such a game. How many people
like to play monopoly with someone that keeps sneaking money out of the bank? The usual response is 'I'm not playing with you anymore', or a solid punch on the nose. Translated to mudding these are the (BANNED) and (DELETED BY IMM) like flags SMUG could give to their characters.
Basically, anyone that cheats is fucking the rest of the pbase. Enjoy being one.
Enjoy, animal.
Note: I post this cause we had something similar on the mud I play. A good rp'r that quitted gave a list of chars, and told with which chars he cheated (and got caught or not). Basically gave a lot of players a mixed feeling. To rp / play with the guy was fun, but the fact that he needed to cheat to get decent equip / whatever gave a sour flavour in the mouth.
Enjoy, animal.
