It's traditional for the EmlenMUDs to have easter events, either easter
egg hunts (for prizes) or kill the easter bunnies and take the prizes

you :)

It's never really seemed to me that Bartle's break-down of players
matched the players I've known very well, and I'm not so sure I'd want
to try to appeal to every type of player.
