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:
“Once one is caught up into the material world not one person in ten thousand finds the time to form literary taste, to examine the validity of philosophic concepts for himself, or to form what, for lack of a better phrase, I might call the wise and tragic sense of life.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“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)
“It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.”
—Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794)
