Arrrrr!

I don't remember if I wrote about it here, but sure did somewhere -- about pretty unique quality of 'The Sims' fandom to sell their fan-creations (custom clothes, houses, furnishing and other mods) and think it's perfectly normal thing. That's what you get when regular people come to geek domains, I suppose, because The Sims 2 is exactly the game that draws in Average Joes and Janes, who never gamed before and therefore doesn't know (and if they find out, they choose to ignore it) that no gamer ever should demand money for their fan mods - that's the geek code.

There are Fallout mods with entire new locations, weapons and scenarios - for free. There are enormously huge "Baldur's Gate" mods - new classes, weapons, NPCs, whole damn worlds - all for free. And then there are sets of custom hairs and dresses 5$ each. 'tis a pretty in line of "EA games", the money-grubbing, lousy-codding, bug-spawning shit of a corporation, mind you - still, it's a shameful stain on a whole gaming culture, still further on entire concept of a fandom - it's like selling your fanfiction or anime subtitles (just not as much as work as, say, subbers do).

Not all people are like that, of course, and usually you can find v. similar and often better stuff for free (say, geek fans of The Sims, ones who don't pain dresses and pantsies but do way more useful job fixing all the bugs and annoyances that "EA games" lovingly sells with its games, do it totally free), I'm sure there are plenty of noobs just into game who don't know how to or are too lazy to search, and so they end paying those money-wringers with their pathetic "I'm only doing it to cover my bandwidth costs!" excuses. So imagine my pure unadulterated delight when I found out that one of the old tradition fan (v. talented code-mender and hack creator, btw) finally had it with the businessfen and made this.

What's this about? Well, the merry crew seemingly clubbed together, bought paid contents of the most popular money-wringing simsites and uploaded them on their own site - for free. >:-D This is, m'dears, a thing of beauty with plenty of extra delicious stuff - such as those 'creators' total inability to do anything about it no matter how enraged they are - because they're profiting from someone else's property which is not exactly legal, and if they're raising payments for bandwidth, they should only be happy some other site takes part of it from them, innit?

In other words - it's bloody about time someone showed them greedy ratbastardly normies they don't really belong in gamin' world. Go mateys! :D

ISTP

You scored 100% introversion, 14% intuition, 100% thinking, and 50% judging!

ABOUT THE TEST

This personality test is heavily based on the Kiersey Sorter. In essence, it measures your personality across four variables: Introversion-Extraversion, Intuition-Sensing, Thinking-Feeling and Judging-Percieving. There are both positive and negative attributes to each of the traits.

Introversion-Extraversion: Generally, people who score high on "introversion" are reserved, quiet people who keep to themselves whereas people who score low on "introversion" are outgoing, friendly people who are extraverts.

Intuition-Sensing:
People who score high on "intuition" are guided by gut instinct, they go on intuition as opposed to people who score low on this trait, who prefer to rely on established fact and their senses, rather than their own belief.

Thinking-Feeling: People with high scores on "thinking" rely more on their head to make decisions, whereas people who score low on "thinking" rely more on their heart to guide them. (Note: this has no bearing on a person's intelligence level; it merely refers to the way in which they make desicions.)

Judging-Percieving: People who score high "judging" are firm, decisisive people, whereas people who score low on this trait are flexible, accomodating people.

YOUR RESULTS

The category write-ups displayed here are not entirely my own; some of this info has been taken from personalitypage.com and some from changingminds.org, both of which are excellent sources of information about personality types. The test questions came in part from Please Understand Me II, another excellent source of information about personality types. Finally, if you'd like an incredibly detailed essay on your personality type, try typelogic.com who have a serious level of detail for anyone wanting to know more about this subject.
