Heheh..I'll jump on the bandwagon:

Stephen Zepp, zoran#enid,com, zenithar#enid,com,
ack-admin-owner#soe,nuc.net, lots#soe,nuc.net, root#soe,nuc.net
  Designer for ack!mud 4.2 code base ( merc derived hack/slash code base,
fttp://soe.nuc.net/pub/ackmud )
Key concepts:  
  Very interested in RP, but feels that "RP" is a natural result of a well
defined world and game structure.  Goal oriented games are Required for
consistent and interesting long term gameplay.  Extreme proponent of
hands-off administration and game systems designed to obfuscate standard
administration/social game problems by side-effect. 
Extreme proponent of persistant worlds (no resets or repops EVER), level-less
skill-based systems, classless ( and experienceless ) gaming systems.
Proponent of player created worlds via estate management, and "sub-games"
within a mudding environment, specifically "actor" ( player or npc )
created communities with all the fixins.


Thanks to J C for the outline, as you can see, I used a lot of his stuff (
JC, we _really_ need to talk :) )

Zoran
