pure

  • adjective A version of MUD is pure if it sticks rigidly to the design goals of the authors, as perceived by the person describing it as pure. It is immaterial whether these design goals are real or imagined - people will readily argue with the authors over proposed changes which might render the game impure. Pureness is an idealised notion of what it's like to experience MUD in its true form; since it doesn't actually exist, though, debate on the matter is next to impossible. What next - MUD fundamentalism?
