		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.

		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.

		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 
 
Your welcome Merry, im glad i was of any help to you.

		But roleplayers are gamers. You have to have a game to roleplay.

		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.

		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     
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

 Eh? Care to clarify that a little?       He names the forces in the next sentance. 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.
