Yeah, that was meant to be funny... since the mud I currently
administrate is based on SMAUG and allows players to choose to be
deadly or peaceful, and I'm ussually the only deadly on.

I think how I administrate is definitely colored by my tendancies to
kill my fellow player tho.  I don't put up with much nonsence, and
often show players the fallacy of asking for things they know they
won't get.  Even so, as the coder I'm a very helpful person on the
game (being the one who knows the server the best).

On a side note, this isn't the game I'm developing on my own time,
that one is my attempt to bypass the compounded problems I have with
smaug's lack of scalability and most decidedly coder unfriendly
structure.
