Basic does not give timestamps for me.

I had to change themes to get timestamps for Simplebox.

Basic has timestamps if you roll over the message.

Oh. I use Simplebox anyway.

I'll take being handicapped, if it doesn't severely reduce my happiness. (the further in life I am, the more in favor of choice 1 I would become)

Would you rather be a respected member in a Orwellian society, or have a dodgy reputation in a utopian society?
Avatar of Hyphero
Probably the latter, as the former might get found out soon.

Would you rather have a Twitch Plays Pokemon anarchist run your town, or a religious reactionary?

Yeah, you are definitely a silly. Alongside Mania. Or Ares. Or SAPPHIROS . I think the best way to learn about Otherkin is to explore the people themselves. As far as I know, they're quite friendly.

And I'm pretty sure that there are psi-vampires as well, those just feed with energy.

You know, they always say bipolar disorder is Mania and Depression, but I think it's really Mania and Corelis. Or DeNovo and ScintillaTinge. Actually, those aren't really antipodes so much as they are just moderators.

Don't you count as one of those people? As an Otherkin? Or are you really a Flying Bowling Ball. I've got my eye on you. Those Bowling Balls are tricky.

Psi-vampires!? That is the most utterly amazing and yet really ridiculous thing I've ever heard. And by "I've ever heard", I am of course discounting anything Mania ever said. Because of Mania.

I seem to like Dark types the best.

Quite strange, as you'd think me of the person that would unironically like the Fairy type (seen the Otherkin thread?), which will beat the Dark type.

The best way to understand a group like that is to experience it first-hand, though you could always read information about Otherkin such as this and that and {insert word that comes after a 'this and that' for a third thing}.

Basically, Otherkin are people that feel deep down that they are of a different species, common ones being dragon, fae, and elf. The ones that correspond to 'normal' animals (e.g. wolf) are usually called Therians.

The process called 'awakening' is when someone realizes they're Otherkin and what type of Otherkin they are. It's usually a slow process however.

Well, regardless of that, you now have 20 more yes's than no's!

"If 20 people say they would use this site" does mean simply 20 yes votes, not 20 more yes's than no's.

What time system do you prefer?

I prefer 24-hour, but my country doesn't use it.

These types happen to both be something helpful in game development and a personality system (this is why the categories are Game-Development and Personality - it's mostly a personality thing however!), which makes them interesting!

The four types are:

Killers - They tend to act on players . Often called Clubs, they tend to want to be able to compete against others or manipulate the world. I imagine they're well-suited for FPS'es!

Achievers - They tend to act on the world . Often called Diamonds, they tend to want to accrue as much achievements and cool stuff as possible. I imagine games with a 100% completion award of some sort would be great for Achievers!

Explorers - They tend to interact with the world . Often called Spades, they tend to want to explore the world and find new things, and like lore. I imagine Explorers would be unusually fond with finding a secret area (whether intentional or not)!

Socializers - They tend to interact with players . Often called Hearts, they tend to care more about socializing than actually playing the game. I imagine they would not be too fond of single-player games!

This is also extended into 8 types, but it's rare to see descriptions of the Extended Bartle Types. Nevertheless, they look like:

Politician - Explicit Action on Players
Griefer - Implicit Action on Players
Planner - Explicit Action on the World
Opportunist - Implicit Action on the World
Scientist - Explicit Interaction with the World
Hacker - Implicit Interaction with the World
Networker - Explicit Interaction with Players
Friend - Implicit Interaction with Players

Nevertheless, I would consider myself to be an Explorer (Hacker if using Extended Bartle Types).

Oh well. Maybe this can turn into a discussion about our alignments.

I'm Chaotic Good, btw.
