Having worked on a few muds both as an immortal and an implementor on two, I've seen people who're otherwise good as a mortal or low-level immortal turn completely around when they get more power. It was the worst with my other implementor who had never had an imm before he had control of the mud on his box (we moved it to his box after a crash). Things were ok in the beginning but he became a nazi about a lot of things and players left the mud in droves. This is just my example of the abuse of power that can infect people when they have it. This is by no means an attack on anyone mentioned in the post or anyone who has posted.

Moral: accepting a position of "power" can totally change you, either for the better or for worse. Unfortunately I've seen only a few of people that are bettered for it. When we all realize we bleed and sh*t the same, we'll realize that nobody's 'better' than anyone else. Period.
