PREFERENCES

simulated jocks/drivers/pilots and friends of the platform need not apply

platform jumper :(

I guess Fallout, FFT and Silent Storm make me #2, huh?

join the club u_u

Gimp = street-fighting button masher?

it's an open-source photoshop clone

I read this list as:

Halo
Fallout
Warcraft
Tetris
WoW
WoW

or

Half-Life
Dragon Quest
Civilization
Bust A Move
EVE Online
Guitar Hero

(o) ACTUAL ROLEPLAYING GAME WITH ACTUAL PLAYING OF A ROLE

LARP?

i thought my love of final fantasy/pokemon would make me number 5, but i guess it's more number 2

in retrospect this poll could have been constructed much better actually. perhaps I will use this as a beta and put a more diverse and accepting version on ILE just to find out what louis jagger thinks

I mean if you love nethack and dragon quest are you a grinder or a turn taker?

why do I think about this shit?

(o) Third-person troublemaker

IMO your examples = grinder, my friend. :/

Turn-based = shrapnel games nerd and/or love fallout too much

I'm not sure where Morrowind addiction puts me.

I am totally #5.

is someone who plays nothing but, like, flOw a "gimp?"

see also: electroplankton

if so, i need to meet more gimps because they are cool dudes/ettes

lol thanks to Will for bringing up shrapnel games bcz I totally did not know there was an OS X version of Return To Infinite Space!!! Awesome awesome

Morrowind = nostalgic insomniac grinder/collector, surely?

Does playing driving games while saying to yourself "of course this isn't how driving works in real life" count as Perspective-Agnostic Level Grinder ?

I thought third person turn taker referred to driving games and I was all "dude only pussies play driving games in third person"

Third-Person Rule-Following Level Advancer

(o) Explore-em-up

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Didn't vote :(

go on then

Grinda

Guitar Hero, if you practice for over an hour on one song, is a grinder.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

not bad, decent participation for a board that gets like ILbooks level of posting most of the time

expected more FPS actually

Fuck, I'm the only puzzle dork here? No way!

And I'm the only "Economy-Minded Clockmaker"???

I should explain: I took it to mean things like Age of Empires, C&C, etc.

yeah the terminology needs improving

there should perhaps be "real time strategist" to go along with the straightforward description of "first person shooter"

"third-person explorer"
