10-22-04, 01:49 AM I'm not really convinced by your test; it doesn't seem to accomodate the vast majority of normal people. There was an alternate alignment system I designed for my gaming group almost 18 months ago; if you'd like, you can email me (imytholin at gmail dot com) and I'll send you a copy.

10-25-04, 03:49 PM I got a 5...no big surprise..I liked your quiz.

I would reccomend that you take a look at my quiz's to see their disclaimers. That way all naysayers who say that they do not like your creation here can be refered to those Disclaimers for fun....

Just kidding about the one number- of course. (But about which number?...) :twitch:

-5 I'm too severe and uncompromising for a lower score. I believe evil should be hunted, found, identified, and destroyed.
Callista
10-31-04, 02:44 AM And if you can turn evil towards good? Then you would have even more power on the side of Good...

(This makes me wonder why I didn't get a lower score than -2... maybe I'm too pragmatic.)
