[MUD-Dev] realism

[Caliban Tiresias Darklock]

On 07:50 PM 6/7/99 +0100, I personally witnessed Marian Griffith jumping up
to say:

I've always figured that a lot of people say "realism" when they mean
"consistency". Or, to make it more complex and keep it from sounding like
these people don't speak English too good, they mean "realistic given a
sufficiently appropriate version of reality".

"Twice is always" ;)
