Re: What kind of sock puppet are you?
 

Erratic, expansionist and militeristic for me.

Does change depending on nation played thou, but this is my default favourite.

Re: What kind of sock puppet are you?
 

Well, good to know that there aren't a whole lot of dishonourable militaristic expansionists out there...

I think gandalf is one - he's just good at hiding it from us http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: What kind of sock puppet are you?
 

Honourable pacifist with a dash of erratic (to counterbalance the pacifist), all combined with a healthy mix of technologist/ecologist and a "this is all situational" attitude.

In other words, totally clueless as to what the heck I am doing.

The last sentence is of course my erratic side getting the best of me. You know, keep any potential enemies guessing...

Re: What kind of sock puppet are you?
 

Hmm, this was fun http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I think I would describe myself as erratic, aggressive and diplomatic in that order, and with erratic not being an active strategy as much as a RPG-whim way of erratic.

I'm also a bad winner, that is, I don't like winning much. I like the war/contest aspect of the game, but I tend to feel sorry for my enemies if I go to well. I have to actively tell myself that it is a game to the other player as well, when I aggressively attack them. To lessen my feelings of compassion I tend to RPG as much as I can. This might lead to erratic behaviour.

You feel sorry for your enemies?? How strange! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

You need to watch Conan the Barbarian again:

"Conan, what is best in life?"

"To crush enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women."

I would say I'm a pacifistic expansionist/ecologist.

Re: What kind of sock puppet are you?
 

Almost certainly an Honorable Ecologist; this is highly theoretical, but primarily because I've played exactly one MP game, and that wasn't even fully done. I tend to think of gem income as primary income, but I've played a lot of different races (and I think Urdheim is a really interesting mod, btw).

Diplomatic Aggressive Ecologist. Always gotta be at war with somebody (to increase my gem flow), but to the best of my ability make that just one person who's also fighting on another front.

Re: What kind of sock puppet are you?
 

I'm definitely an honorable diplomat. There is nothing I like more than seeing a strong alliance through till the end of the game.
