two sides to this coin imho, one it really is up to the administration to
decide what they do to the mud, unless you're paying to play there, you
have little or no influence on the final decisions of the mud
administration, so pick a new mud or deal with it...:)
now the other side is one which many people will agree with, players make
the mud, period. if (!PLAYERS) {
mud = NULL;
crash();
burn();
}
the whole purpose of a mud i think is to make it enjoyable to play and if
yer admin isn't doing that, then they are failing... and if they ignore
you after the fact, then that really sucks
so comin straight from an imp's mouth - if i deem a change to be
necessary, i feel no obligation to get permission from the players before
doing so, BUT i certainly seek good admin/player relations so 9 times
out of 10 i will leave a post up on one of the boards letting people know
what i plan and to gimme comments about what they think about it
now all rights reserved vs flaming, this is meant for my general
philosophy for muds which are TRULY open, i.e. not beta/alpha/anything
but 80 percent of circleMUDS are in beta or some similar stage, so maybe
it doesn't mean much (a beta mud has higher priorities than pleasing the
playerbase for instance)
hey, just another throat puke.
