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:
“During our twenties...we act toward the new adulthood the way sociologists tell us new waves of immigrants acted on becoming Americans: we adopt the host culture’s values in an exaggerated and rigid fashion until we can rethink them and make them our own. Our idea of what adults are and what we’re supposed to be is composed of outdated childhood concepts brought forward.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
“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)
