Concepts
In accordance with AL's development as an RPIMUD, the game's rules and game-mechanics place a strong emphasis on roleplaying over powergaming. AL has been noted for having automated game systems in place where many other roleplaying-focused MUDs rely on human mediation.
Players are allowed only one character at a time, and are expected to roleplay this character to the best of their ability. An appropriate and expected behavior is for players to provide rewards to each other for accomplishments rather than relying on the game to do so.

Famous quotes containing the word concepts:
“Institutional psychiatry is a continuation of the Inquisition. All that has really changed is the vocabulary and the social style. The vocabulary conforms to the intellectual expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-medical jargon that parodies the concepts of science. The social style conforms to the political expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-liberal social movement that parodies the ideals of freedom and rationality.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.”
—James Conant (1893–1978)
“When you have broken the reality into concepts you never can reconstruct it in its wholeness.”
—William James (1842–1910)
