It's just a game!
	It's just a game! exclamation A fanatical belief held by evangelising heretics which insists that MUD is nothing more than a mere game, and that players should not get over-emotional about what happens in it. There is little controversial about the assertion that MUD is a game (although it's polite not to draw attention to the fact); the really contentious issue is the suggestion that it's "just" a game. It's far, far more than that! Adherents of the It's just a game! principle have clearly had some awful experience early in their MUDding career, and it has damaged what few brains they had in the first place. See real world.
