Title: Is SHARK A SWINE OR A CRAB?
Post by: SHARK on April 27, 2006, 05:50:15 PM
Greetings!

Hmmm...so, I'm wondering, for those who know me, would I make a better SWINE or a better CRAB? Where do you think I would fit in better?

Thanks! I appreciate your insights!

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

I think you're a good example of why such labels ultimately have no real meaning. You've seen the various arguments over the years about alignment, and how some feel alignment is not valid because it doesn't model very well how people have nuanced shades within their personality. The same basic principle applies here.

The Colonel has my answer, so I'll just quote him.

Well, sharks are vertebrate like swines, and aquatic like crabs... I suppose you could proclaim yourself a crine or a swab.

Heh!:) Very interesting Colonel! I don't like arrogant jack-asses bloviating over any particular point of view, elevating such to grail-like importance, especially when beneath the thunder and noise, both "approaches" to me, as well as you and others it would seem, both embrace critical elements necessary for any good game.

So you are saying we need a second axis for Sanity? :ponder: Then you can pigeonhole people into catagories like Insane Swine or Coherent Crab. If so I'd have to peg SHARK at Insane Neutral because a shark surfing the internet is just plain crazy. :p

I'm saying SWINE for no other reason than I like having him on my side.

Welcome SHARK, I'll email you the specifics regarding the secret handshake and the Team Fight Song:)
