The altruistic contributions here are truly impressive. This forum is has two distinct forces that are diametrically opposed to each other. Here they meld to create a resource for which I am decidedly grateful. I hope to make my own contributions some day
Competition and co – operation
My thanks to all of you.

Re: A big thank you!
 

Thanks Merry, I'm glad that I could be of help.

And you're right, this is one of the best communities of gamers around. It's a big reason why I enjoy SE4 so much. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Roleplayers and Gamers, i presume.

An old separation into two streams of fans going a long way back to pre-SEIV,into the earlier days of SEIII

But roleplayers are gamers. You have to have a game to roleplay. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: A big thank you!
 

Sure Fyron,
The altruistic contributions are like your FQM or the TDM Ais. The diametrically opposed forces are the players who co – operate by answering questions and sharing tricks that will aid people they will they will compete against. I have also notice a level of informal competition in who answers a question first.

and you have the blundering fools -- well, just one blundering fool

Re: A big thank you!
 

I remember when I first came to this forum, it was probably the most friendly, helpful, mature group of people Online. It probably still is, despite my posting here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I remember a few threads similar to this one, back in a couple years go. Thanks were pouring out to people like Daynarr, Mephisto, Devnullicus, and countless others. Im honored that I made the new list http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

It's not roleplayers and gamers. He isn't saying two Groups of people. He is talking about the two forces of competition and cooperation. They exsist in each of us. One causes us to be helpful and share information, the other tries to keep us from doing so, but is responsible for our continued interest in the game in the first place.
