For Werewolf players...

Here's a handy quiz to help you choose your profession:

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?te...21527277352082

I came out as Noble Class (obviously)
Mr Lalaith, meanwhile, was a Village Idiot.

[Edit: sorry, I just checked the quiz again and I should warn that some of the language is quite strong]

Hmmm... that was... interesting.

Can't say I was terrible excited about that strong language, but such is life.

I came out as a member of The Noble Class. It had a pretty sweet picture of a Lego dude with a sword, too.

I turned out clergy.

Maybe I was still under the influence of the last WW game as a seer. No other explanation seems un-natural enough...

Tgwbs, I did put a warning.

But, to reiterate, unfortunately the language is stronger than I remembered when I first posted the link, so if that sort of thing offends you, the quiz is best avoided.

I scored "Clergy" which is kind of funny because I was just thinking about what I might be next WW game I'm in and it would fit into such a class... but my other two were definitely not.

Whats with the legoman image? Why does he look like a zombie?
What is that suppose to mean?

Oh, here's your NEW High Emperor.
Quote:
Your Medeival responsibility is to be a high lord of civilization. You have cruel tendencies, but generally tend to know what is best for others. That is because the masses are stupid, selfish pieces of trash who don't really know anything about... well, anything! So when you take power, PLEASE revoke the people's right to vote!
Oooh, that feels good!
What is somewhat concerning, though, is that as Valier, I actually did the test honestly. What did the other High Emperors score? I was 109. I think that must be good. Also 89% on skills. So bow to me!

Well, I can't remember the numbers I got. I could tell you the answers I put, though (by PM, I suppose). And yes, Samwise, I too did it honestly. I had a feeling we'd end up with a similar role.

Ugh. I took that whole first test and when I clicked "That's All" by browser crashed. Firefox almost never crashes, so I'm thinking that's a good reason to NOT retake the test.

You can guess at what I would have been... I pretty much picked all the options that involved burning the city and slaying the masses. It just seemed more fun that way.

That's quite similar to my general approach, Diamond18, so maybe we have a new High Emperor in our ranks? But until I have evidence I refuse to aknowledge you, usurper!

Yes, Eomer, I am totally unsuprised that we ended up the same. It's all those hours spent in Archie's being brutalised by 12 year old mothers! (Sorry, that's a ridiculously in-joke! But if you want to learn more, PM me!)

Ah yes, indeed Samwise. This quiz does not take into account the vast changes in time and culture. For this modern life has so warped our minds that we become a sort of quasi-high emperor in our minds; whereas back in the day, with no-one to say Vivaldi sounds better on a mobile phone ringtone, we may well have ended up as simple and contented farm-folk.

Merely raising doubts as to the reliabilty of the quiz.

That was a strange quiz . . .

I got an 89, so I'm noble class. Bow, peasants!

PS I was playing around with the test, trying to see what different results I could get, and it turns out there's also a provincial monarch result.
