Yes! There are. Or at least I think so...
1) A mud that implements a role-playing game of the storyteller variety. I
suppose that blatant plagiarism might constitute cheating.
2) A mud with a primary purpose is purely social interaction. (AKA Mud-Dev -
What constitutes cheating here? How do I win? Are there Mud-Dev meta
games? ;-) )
3) Diplomacy, a game where almost every form of cheating is actively
encouraged. It's technically feasible to cheat in a few "undesirable ways"
in the current Net Judge implementation. Though in FTF play the game is
immune to cheating, well...short of physically attacking your opponents.
