...but the easiest way to get players to obey the rules is to make damn certain the immortals obey them also.

Now the VAST majority of the IMMs are fine, but there have been cases in the past of rather BLATANT cheating and favoritism by some of the IMMs above and beyond what The Arcane mentioned, coding forms for their own use, cheating to get EQ, tattooing people only on their ICQ list, etc. It's like having your parents tell you not to swear than listening to them spout off the "f" word a few hundred times. A "Do as I say don't do as I do" attitude doesn't cut it.

Fortunately, the biggest offender deleted a few months back and things have been better since. I just hope things continue as they have been with the focus on fun and not a small number of asshole IMMs using morts as play-toys and giving all you decent guys a bad rep.
