Doesnt sound witty and fun. Besides, It isnt elitist coders, it is
people who dont like the fact that the circlemud name has been disgraced
by the many muds that claim to be original and simply are stock areas
and code.

It would be a reccomended mud because it qualifies. Any mud that
qualifies would be added to the list. Any mud that doesnt qualify is
added to the list of bad ones.

I would laugh and attempt to get the reasoning why you thought my mud
was unoriginal.

Maybe it isnt in the spirit that Circ was intended, but that is like say
ing circ was designed to be run as stock.
