Re: General Dissatisfaction

I have spent about $300 of my own money and countless hours renovating my apartment over the last month.

Rent went up in July.

Re: QUOTES 8: THE QUOTING

Shulamit said:

If only she had probed it, and saw it's not...made with weevils, but for weevils...

Appearance:
a platter of weevil delight
Dropped:
A platter filled with what appears to be various types of wood has been dropped here.
Examined:
Piled high with what appears to be various woods found around the basin,
this petite gold platter has been made from copious amounts of marzipan.
The almond confection has been carefully shaped, each piece dyed a
different shade, ranging from pieces of dark mahogany wood to maple and
even exotic blue and purple woods. A few pieces have been dipped into
chocolate before being carved with a wood grain pattern, resembling
small pieces of dark ebony wood.
Consume:
Picking up one of the wood pieces, you gingerly bite down on it. You are
surprised to find your teeth sinking in easily, the sudden taste of
sweet almond marzipan flooding your mouth as you continue to chew. Each
subsequent piece appears to ultimately be marzipan as well, the soft,
almost chewy sweet easily eaten. As you finish the sweets off, you
ponder the small platter thoughtfully before also taking a bit from it,
mildly surprised to find that it seems to be harder marzipan covered in
edible gold leaf.
Smell:
Carefully sniffing at what appears to be a platter filled with wood, you are surprised to find it smells of almonds, chocolate, and honey.
Taste:
You curiously nibble on one of the pieces of wood, finding it to be sweet marzipan instead.

Yes, I learned of this mistake a couple of days later. I did not throw away that platter.

Re: Bartle Taxonomy

The results were really different between the two tests (which will happen with different question sets I suppose). Here's both of mine.

Re: Bartle Taxonomy

The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology
You are 100% Socialiser
What Bartle says:
♥ Socialisers are interested in people, and what they have to say. The game is merely a backdrop, a common ground where things happen to players. Inter-player relationships are important: empathising with people, sympathising, joking, entertaining, listening; even merely observing people play can be rewarding - seeing them grow as individuals, maturing over time. Some exploration may be necessary so as to understand what everyone else is talking about, and points-scoring could be required to gain access to neat communicative spells available only to higher levels (as well as to obtain a certain status in the community). Killing, however, is something only ever to be excused if it's a futile, impulsive act of revenge, perpetrated upon someone who has caused intolerable pain to a dear friend. The only ultimately fulfilling thing is not how to rise levels or kill hapless drips; it's getting to know people, to undertand them, and to form beautiful, lasting relationships.

Based on implicit questioning your ideal game caters to someone who doesn't know what they want.

Interesting.

Re: Bartle Taxonomy

In terms of whether we think about this when putting stuff into the game...kind of, though not actively. We work to make sure that there are things in Lusternia that improve the game for all styles of player - it's actually something we've especially thought about in terms of the Endzone project, though I cannot tell you exactly how because spoilers. We've also pushed a lot more QoL stuff, and are giving more time to things that are roleplay-focused or 'just for roleplayers' (even those not valued in the past, like cosmetic items/options).

And with that said, here's my own stats, which would be very different if I could answer as an admin:

87% Explorer

73% Socialiser

33% Achiever

7% Killer

(My killer stat would be much higher as an admin

Re: Bartle Taxonomy

While there's been some shift from the last test I took years ago, feels legit enough.

You are 100% Explorer

What Bartle says:

♠ Explorers delight in having the game expose its internal machinations to them. They try progressively esoteric actions in wild, out-of-the-way places, looking for interesting features (ie. bugs) and figuring out how things work. Scoring points may be necessary to enter some next phase of exploration, but it's tedious, and anyone with half a brain can do it. Killing is quicker, and might be a constructive exercise in its own right, but it causes too much hassle in the long run if the deceased return to seek retribution. Socialising can be informative as a source of new ideas to try out, but most of what people say is irrelevant or old hat. The real fun comes only from discovery, and making the most complete set of maps in existence.
