I was, of course, refering to systems where players can do whatever
they want as long as no other player is stopping them. As long as
they have the 'might' to do something the have the 'right' to do so.
This is the essence of player run justice systems on mud.
It's fairly simple to create a system that does not follow this rule
simply by taking law enforcement out of the hands of the players and
putting it in the hands of either the game or the imms.
Also a system where players can opt to be immune from attacks by the
other players (and this works both ways) has put the rules outside
the domain of the players with the power to force others.
(And yes, such systems have their disadvantages and limitations too)
