OK, so maybe I don't disagree with Travis after all. All of his points are
spot on. :)

I do still think that the number of viable paradigms for mud design that
exist after 20+ years of history is surprisingly large. Yes, those paradigms
sure don't tend to evolve much, and we've all felt that stagnation. But it's
still more viable paradigms than are extant today in paper RPGing... viable
in the sense that they have (mostly) stood the test of time, whereas most
overall forms of paper RPGs have not.
