You should find a few minutes to read through http://mud.co.uk/richard/hcds.htm. The author does a nice job of categorizing MUD players into four classes.a player that's ranked 4th
- Achievers like to focus on their score. They're necessarily pretty good at spreadsheets and the like, but if something doesn't increase one's score, then it's not very important.
- Explorers like to understand how the game works, but they couldn't care less about scores. They're really good at spreadsheets and analysis, but once they understand HOW to do something, they move on to something else that needs to be understood.
- Socializers don't mind playing the game, so long as it's not TOO much trouble and there are lots of ponies, but it's the players who are important, not the game itself.
- Killers (or Control Freaks in our case) keep the socializers in check; they cull the herd. The Killers' favorite prey is folks who only THINK they're achievers. Killers avoid Explorers, because a pissed off Explorer is really bad news for a Killer.
