30 questions.

I'm a Socializer Explorer (67%, 60%):

"Socializer Explorers love the the 'total experience' of a virtual world--meeting new people and finding the unique places. They don't care much for PVP or leveling, but meeting up with online friends to see new parts of the world is considered fun and exciting. SEs make great group members, because they often know everything there is to know about a game and are enjoy sharing that knowledge freely."

67% Explorer - 60% Achiever - 60% Socializer - 20% Killer

Description:

It's not so much the wandering around and poking about, but that euphoric eureka moment the Explorer strives for. The joys of discovery do not necessarily involve geography, real or virtual. They may derive from the mental road less traveled, the uncovering of esoteric or hidden knowledge and it's creative application. Explorers make great theory crafters. The most infinitesimal bit of newness can deliver the most delicious zing to an Explorer.

Explorer Achievers have been there, done that and have the t-shirt...in fact they have a plethora of t-shirts, badges, trophies and other rewards. EAs are the completionists of the gamer world. They like to find new places, quests, easter eggs, unlocks, maps etc. and check them off as have, visited or beaten. Like real world travelers, EAs enjoy collecting memorabilia that helps them relive their experiences later.

Explorer Socializers are the glue of the online world. Not only do they like to delve in to find all the cool stuff, but they also enjoy sharing that knowledge with others. Explorer socializers power the wikis, maps, forums and theory craft sites of the gamer world

"EAs enjoy collecting memorabilia that helps them relive their experiences later." ....yes Jinx, this is certainly you.
SOCIALIZER.
Somehow fitting..

SOCIALIZER

Socializer 67% - Killer 60% - Explorer 53% - Achiever 33%

Description:

It's not what you do, but who you know, how you are known and who loves you. People with high Socializer scores enjoy interacting with other people, forming bonds and finding cooperative solutions to the challenges within the virtual world.

Socializer Killers loyally love and fiercely hate. Groups an SK bonds with in game are often deemed heroic, while the opposition is reviled. SKs appreciate teamwork and cooperation in PvP. They may become vicious predators while enjoying the thrill of hunt within in a pack, but they are not likely to seek out targets by themselves. They enjoy forming groups and alliances that will pit themselves against other players--and they gain the most satisfaction when they defeat organized groups of other players.

They don't care much for PVP or leveling, but meeting up with online friends to see new parts of the world is considered fun and exciting. SEs make great group members, because they often know everything there is to know about a game and are enjoy sharing that knowledge freely.

Socializer Achievers value reputation. They want to be known and appreciated for what they accomplish bother for themselves and their group. If city or base building are available in a game, they enjoy creating these and inviting other people to come and see. SAs enjoy the increased social status that comes with defeating a powerful foe or finding a unique treasure more than the act of gaining or possessing the achievement itself. SAs endeavor to be associated with leaders and teams that are renown for great deeds, often finding as much satisfaction in the success of the group as with oneself.

Secondary influences

Explorer Killers enjoy seeing the world, meeting interesting people...and killing them. EKs love all discovery, but finding an edge over the competition is best. Always seeking new opportunity, an EK likely knows the ten best places to find certain types of opponents, as well as ten different ways for taking them down.

(Killer Socializer is me spot on.)

KILLER

K: 67% S: 67% E: 47% A:205

The Killer motto:

"No enemy left standing!"

Description:

It's the thrill of the kill. Trophies are okay, but that momentary rush attained from besting an opponent is what it's all about.

People with high Killer scores prefer the player-versus-player aspect of any game more than anything offered by the environment. They relish the adrenaline and challenge of pitting themselves against real people. Not all Killers are gankers as some critics claim. While getting the jump on the unprepared for a quick kill is important fun for some Killers, many prefer group PvP and revel in a well executed team maneuver that blows away the opposing side.

Secondary influences

(Me) Killer Socializers often seek out PvP in a game, but they are looking to socialize with and form alliances and teams with other players who are interested in doing the same. KS tend to seek out guilds or clans that organize formal PvP events, or work on group strategies and tactics.

Killer Achievers pit themselves against PvE challenges as well--though often it's a means to an end. A KA often enjoys PvP that focuses on their skill as an individual contributor (duels, and so forth) as well as their personal position on competitive ladders and such.

Killer Explorers like to feel immersed in a virtual worlds and see themselves as a great villain or crusader within that world. They seek out challenges against other players, but they are going to find all the areas of that world. Trust an KE to know all the best ambush spots and sniper perches.

Explorer Killer definitely seems to fit my play style.

Achiever

A: 60% K: 53% S: 47% E: 47%

The Achiever motto: "No goal unfinished!" Description:

Best, first and most are the favorite adjectives of the Achiever. They love comparison not only against others, but also with themselves. They enjoy setting goals, surpassing previous performances and hitting new milestones. They tend to have lots of high scores, badges, trophies and other concrete evidence of their successful endeavors--and they love it if someone notices these. However many enjoy the quiet satisfaction of knowing they simply did better than most.

Secondary influences

Achiever Killers like to be the best-of-the-best at everything the game has to offer including PvP. They often mock Killer tactics such as surprise and stealth as "ganking" because they prefer a more controlled arena where fighting skills can be compared in a straight forward manner. Achievers often look to 1v1 duels for proof of their superior play and are frustrated by "rock paper scissor" game mechanics because of this. Their prowess in PVP is generally supported by a large degree of understanding and possession of the best equipment and skills.

Socializer: 93%, Explorer: 80%, Achiever: 27%, Killer: 7%
etc, as an achiever, do you find it tough to play a no-win game like SD? What do you get out of it that is rewarding to you?
How is Sindome a "no-win" game? There is nothing stopping you from making goals for yourself and setting yourself to meeting them. There may be no cut scene and credits and a definite ending point, but there are a lot of games like that.

Sindome has its ups and downs, but there are definitely things you can do for yourself. They're just not laid out in front of you as a list of tasks and instructions. There are storylines going on all over the place you can get involved in or create, difficulties for your character to overcome, items that require specialized knowledge to use, etc. And even if you end up losing whatever it is you gained, or your character inevitably dies, that doesn't mean you didn't accomplish something.

Besides, while my socializer score is lower than the first two (marginally), that doesn't mean I don't enjoy roleplaying. That test wasn't really meant to gauge roleplaying interest. The socializer questions are about guilds and adding people to your friends list.

Ha!

EXPLORER

That's about right. Some other percentages decrease / increase depending on game / situation. :)

Explorer - 87% Socializer - 67% Achiever - 33% Killer 20%

Description:

It's not so much the wandering around and poking about, but that euphoric eureka moment the Explorer strives for. The joys of discovery do not necessarily involve geography, real or virtual. They may derive from the mental road less traveled, the uncovering of esoteric or hidden knowledge and it's creative application. Explorers make great theory crafters.

(But, but, *why* can't I have both the private channel *and* the house worth a million gold?)

It's a litte funny to me the socializer percentage isn't higher but it is higher than I thought it'd be. I'm out exploring and fighting on my own a lot (Where are the orcs? [poor orcs]) Or harpies. As etc. pointed out, that percentage is more the friends list / guilds with that percentage.

Fun find though. Thanks! :D
