At the risk of sounding like a scrooge, most muds are also just
copycat garbage. Try selecting a random mud from Mudconnector and you
shall see what I mean, no doubt. Most muds doing something is hardly
an argument to do it yourself.

Personally, I have a difficult time understanding why anyone who is
setting out to make a good mud would use _any_ copycatted content.
