Being like another fun game in some ways isn't bad. MUD's in general are derived from table-top RPGs anyway. And the SK alignments are very similar to the 3.5 alignments, with a little changing around.
As a gameplay element in SK, elves using bows aren't bad. I think it would be neat to see such a change since long-ranged weapons (especially bows) aren't really used by many people anyway, and it wouldn't change balance at all really since people who can use bows effectively already have the skill.
More importantly though, don't be rude to new posters for no reason, especially when they have good ideas. It's definitely a general depiction across just about every fantasy setting that elves use bows.
.r 'elves' 'minotaurs'
.r 'bows' 'nose rings'
Or something. I think minotaur nose rings are much more plausible than innate bow for elves, mind you. Just anticipating the response.
