around and about Washington, DC, there is a restaurant called "Whitey's".
naturally enough, in their parking lot is a large sign bearing the legend,
"Parking for Whitey's Only".

ObMudDev: the first step to solving the Tailor Problem is having a game
where killing is of zero benefit in and of itself and usually carries
inherent risk; i.e. a game built on some model other than the "kill and
level" driven system typical to MUDs and to computer games which are
radically mislabeled "RPGs".
