To clarify, the question that I was responding to was "Doesn't anyone provide a 'safer' environment?" to wit I responded that Dr. Cat does the extreme of 'safer' meaning completely non-competitive. I don't use the term 'violent' because the basis of these games is not violence it is competition. I think Dr. Cat knows better than to think that I personally am stuck in any sort of ostrich-hood. I do think that his point about this list being primarily composed of competitive game designers is completely correct, but that doesn't make him unwelcomed I would hope. </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00425" HREF="msg00425.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Affordances and social method (Was: Re: Wire d Magazine...)</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Caliban Tiresias Darklock <caliban#darklock,com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00422.html">No Subject</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00424.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Affordances and social method (Was: Re: Wire d Magazine...)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00440.html">[MUD-Dev] Unix vs NT and its relation to MUD environments.</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00425.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Affordances and social method (Was: Re: Wire d Magazine...)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00423"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00423"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: (Fwd) **NOTICE REGARDING YOUR SEARCHLIGHT SOFTWARE**</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00456" HREF="msg00456.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: (Fwd) **NOTICE REGARDING YOUR SEARCHLIGHT SOFTWARE**</A></strong>, Caliban Tiresias Darklock <a href="mailto:caliban#darklock,com">caliban#darklock,com</a>, Sun 02 Aug 1998, 12:28 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00454" HREF="msg00454.html">[MUD-Dev] (Fwd) **NOTICE REGARDING YOUR SEARCHLIGHT SOFTWARE**</A></strong>, Jon A.
