I have a game you will not stop playing..ever.

[asdfasdfasdfsdf]

if you liked legos as a kid at all (if you didnt than you arent much of an intp, imo.) then you should try out minecraft.net.
im not trying to advertise, just trying to give you the joys i have found.
i seriously played it from 5pm to noon the next day without a break.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I play it occasionally, while listening to music. It's not that great.

 

[asdfasdfasdfsdf]

really?
but you gotta admit the first time you played it, it put a good spark in you.
i mean, i have created like 3 huge worlds.
the only problem is that once i get done with something.. its like "now what do i do with it" although i havent played it in a while.
i guess i did make it seem really great, but it, imo, is almost perfect for an intp.

 

[Adymus]

Dood, legos are pretty SP, brah.

 

[asdfasdfasdfsdf]

how so?

Like I said it's not that great, but it's still good. When I play it for too long, a voice in my head objects. "Why are you doing this? You could be learning a language, or working on your novel. Instead you're playing with blocks."

I still play it from time to time. I host my own server when I do, want to build with me?

 

[asdfasdfasdfsdf]

that would be fun.. what is your server called?

 

[Cobra]

Dood, legos are pretty SP, brah.

lol. I wanna hear you talk like that in person. Is playing personas too FJ? I do it often.

I still play it from time to time. I host my own server when I do, want to build with me?

Oo! Oo! Can I come? That is if VP's not still sore with me on the topic of anime (was that you?).

 

[Kidege]

Boo. Just when I was enjoying myself I got dizzy. I is no good at 3D games.

@Cobra: what do you mean by "playing personas"? An actual game?

 

[Cobra]

Oops. No. That's just where I pretend I'm someone with a different voice and personality. Accents are also optional. Drinks are involved sometimes.

 

[Kidege]

It sounds like great fun

 

[Cobra]

It is! Try it!

I hadn't really thought about it until now, but the only people I know who are really good at pretending they're completely different people are INTPs.

Go fig!

 

[Vegard Pompey]

My server isn't public, I'll PM the address to you. If anyone else wants the address, let me know and I'll send it.

I'm currently hosting a very blank map, with just a layer of glass on top of an ocean. I haven't done much to it. If you don't like it, I can switch.

Boo. Just when I was enjoying myself I got dizzy. I is no good at 3D games.

Happens to me too sometimes, when I play it for too long.

 

[kantor1003]

sniktawekim: Damn you to hell, you don't recognize the potential harm you may have caused to my productivity! Seemed like a really great game. I built my first real Castle today with two towers, bridges, underground tunnels etc One problem though, I have an exam tomorrow..if I fail, I will hunt you down sniktawekim!

 

[Vegard Pompey]

So me, Cobra and Sniktawekim have started working on our INTP World. Anyone else who wants to join? I took some screenshots of our world, which doesn't have much in it yet. I don't know if Cobra has built anything yet, if he has I didn't find it.

A bridge I built:

A tower I built:

Sniktawekim's fort... Very humble. I think most of what he's done is underground or something.

 

[kantor1003]

Can I join?

 

[Adymus]

how so?

You have a bunch of pieces right in front of you that you can see and work out how they can come together. There is no real planning or intense visualization necessary, it's all just real time improvised hands-on building. It's very SP, homie.

Seriously, just walk up to any random ESTP no matter how old and tell him/her you just bought a bunch of legos and you are looking for someone to play with, they'll be like "FUCK YEAH BRO, I FUCKING LOVE LEGOS!"

 

[Adymus]

It is! Try it!

I hadn't really thought about it until now, but the only people I know who are really good at pretending they're completely different people are INTPs.

Go fig!

Totally, I enjoy fucking with people, and I really don't care about how I look in public, so it all just comes natural.
Just don't do it while hanging out with people who get nervous when attention is drawn to them, they'll blow your cover.

 

[Cobra]

VP, I am a retard. I had no idea I could actually add to your world.

I didn't have time to play in the last couple days, but I think I will tonight. I hope. I haven't forgotten and appreciate the tour you gave me.

when you say "there is no real planning or intense visualization" i greatly disagree with you.
i dont know about you, but i when lego'd as a kid, i built huge things that took days... like a castle that was about 4'x3'x.5' with stuff all inside and everything.. in order for it to look nice, you had to plan well.. (i never followed any instructions.. i just got new stuff for the bricks.. so no instructions laid things out for me.)
intps and sp's could have used the legos in different ways, just because one enjoys them doesnt mean the other wont.

any other intp's here love legos when they were little?

 

[asdfasdfasdfsdf]

[BIMG]http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu287/sniktawekim/floatingcastle.jpg[/BIMG]

i made allot of new structures.. but i cant seem to figure out how to embed images here :/ unless that actually worked.
its a tower i had made that was going to be floating.. and maybe will once i figure out how we will get inside after its completely floating..

 

[Kidege]

any other intp's here love legos when they were little?

I liked creating aestethically pleasing and historically accurate environments in which my action figures would enact stories. I used anything from legos to wooden blocks to play-doh, and nobody ever had the patience to play with me.

I'm not sure that means I liked legos.

 

[asdfasdfasdfsdf]

[BIMG]http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu287/sniktawekim/lighthouse.jpg[/BIMG]
that is a lighthouse i got at one end of the island.


and this is an underground aquarium i made with lava and glass..
was a pain to make

Oh don't get me wrong I was into Legos as a kid too.

My point was, you were making it sound like playing with Legos was an INTP defining activity, when I'd say it's a bit more SP than it is INTP.

 

[asdfasdfasdfsdf]

i wasnt trying to make that sound like an intp only thing..
but i figured the nostalgia of legos, and finding the equavalent of them for today would light a spark in an intp's eye..

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Cobra is awesome:

 

[slant]

this is the god of all simulation games

 

[Vegard Pompey]

My server will be down sporadically this weekend as I'll need to devote CPU to something else.

 

[Devercia]

this is the god of all simulation games

Now now, lets not take say what we can't take back. You might find yourself in a bind after you've played Dwarf Fortress. However, being in second is no insult.

 

[Cobra]

Man, I was hoping to finish tonight! All that extra bulk you see behind him is filler because I'm making a Mario-shaped building. All that will be taken out, and you'll be able to walk through the threshold of his undercarriage.

I call it The Super Church of Latterday Bros. (I might make it the duo themselves with either a Power Flower or Power Star between them; not sure I'm doing that yet).

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I don't think it constitutes as a simulation game, just a sandbox game. And of course Dwarf Fortress would win anyway with that tremendous depth, it's just a lot more fun in the long run.

...I think. I never got past the insane learning curve for Dwarf Fortress but it seems awesome.

 

[snowqueen]

hehe I have no experience with this sort of thing - but I did manage to burrow a hole into the centre of the earth, and jump out of it. And it's really good fun standing underwater and then jumping up and back into the water.

And I built a tower of toadstools which was quite fun.

I need to get a bit more used to the control functions then I might ask to come and build something with you.

I loved lego and built hugely elaborate structures as a child when the types of pieces were very limited. I also spent hours with Meccano.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I tried to make a Goomba, it looks kinda sad though:

Cobra, feel free to delete it if it's in your way.

 

[Cobra]

Oh it's not in my way! I love it!

EDIT: I'M SO EXCITED IT'S BACK ONLINE. GONNA GO BUILD A DINOSAUR!

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I managed to raise the upper limit by 192 blocks, however this resulted in some ugly walls at the edge of the world. I still think it's worth it for being able to build my future epic sky fortress though.

EDIT: I fixed the wall problem by lowering the upper limit and also lowering the bottom limit. You can't build as high now, but still higher than before, and you can also dig deeper.

 

[SEPKA]

This game hook me too, but I somehow prefer to just explore all the cavern.
It get a bit fun after I figure out how to fill the level with lava, but after the game seems dull for me.

 

[kantor1003]

here is the intp world seen from my, not yet finished, skyscraper

 

[Cobra]

Oh hey! I didn't realize 2 things:

A.) You're here on the forum. Thought you were another one of VP's random, off-forum friends.
B.) That sky scraper is WAY in the corner (haven't investigated it up close). I thought it was near Mario, but I was way off! It's obviously much bigger than that since it looks of moderate size if it were placed near Mario from afar!

WICKED cool.

Also would not have placed you in Norway from your posts on the forum. Hope that doesn't read as very insulting. I have a friend whose little brother looks very much like you who is into Norwegian metal.

Imagining VP's real face conjures images of Skwisgaard from Metalocalypse now that I have a young, Toki-like Norwegian reference from your avatar picture. lol

So to settle the age-old argument: which is better? Norwegian or Swedish metal? GO.

EDIT: Also, for my entertainment, please discuss this topic with VP in your respective native tongues.

care to do the walls for me?XD thanks Btw. Do you know any way I could build some sort of elevator? Climbing hundreds of stairs probably turn many people off the "hey, maybe I should check out this tower" idea.

Regarding looks; Because of the way I look people always presume I am your typical metal head, or more specifically, a guy into norwegian black metal. I started out listening to it when I was 7 years old, but that was a long time ago... and I can't really identify with it anymore, and I don't want people to associate my persona with any kind of music genra or sub culture.. especially not black metal, or really mainstream metal in general. I find that many people into those types of music are far more concerned with image instead of music itself. It is also reflected in their often apparent lack of music understanding, lack of competence on their instruments, and/or inability to be open minded about any other types of music then metal. I am not saying there are no exceptions. My point, if I had any, is that I am considering changing my look based only on the fact that most preconceive me to be something I am not. But I don't think I will. I like black clothes and long hair and that's really the only reason why I look this way. Also I am too lazy, or rather, prioritize other things then being too consciously involved in the way I dress up.

Just to clarify, I listen to metal, of course but that is just a small branch sticking up from a large, ancient tree that would be music I love jazz, classical music....many types...but mostly I love people that try to take what we have a step further, intertwining the jazz and rock realm to create new interesting soundscapes. This is mostly referred to as fusion. So, the ultimate would be a heavier oriented form of fusion. If that makes sense? Alex Argento is a guy that touches things that I would like to see more musicians do in the future.
Fredrik thordendal's special defects (the guitarist from the swedish band meshuggah's solo project) is also something I really enjoy. Very dark indeed

So to settle the age-old argument: which is better? Norwegian or Swedish metal? GO.
EDIT: Also, for my entertainment, please discuss this topic with VP in your respective native tongues.

Haha, I think I have spent too much time already, writing, to possibly manage to write anymore on my native tung (it isn't a cool language at all, yukk. Swedish is a prettier language imo) for your personal amusement:P maybe later, if you are worthy, hehe

Edit: Maybe I should take my next picture unshaved with a hat on to change the way you perceive me?:P

 

[Vegard Pompey]

So to settle the age-old argument: which is better? Norwegian or Swedish metal? GO.

Hard to say. Norway got lots of great black metal, second-wave in particular, and also lots of prog/experimental metal like Spiral Architect, Arcturus, In the Woods... etc.

Sweden's fairly diverse and hard to place, but we've got some great depressive metal like Lifelover, Katatonia, etc. Were Silencer Swedish? Can't remember. Oh, and to hell with the Gothenburg scene.

I didn't know intp's had off-forum friends:P

I do, but they're online friends too. Haven't met any of them IRL.

You can build elevators using water and sponges, but it's impossible to build them over sea level without the use of an editor.

 

[Cobra]

LOL!

I'll have to make the mistake of checking it out before I make the mistake of promising to do the walls! lol

Is the framework the boundary of where the wall should be or is it just scaffolding that I can make the walls around? Cuz the latter would be easier than filling all the blank spots with cubes probably.

I certainly hope they make elevators possible in Beta or further. This is Alpha, so it's not a finished game, I've come to understand.

Judging from the posts on the forum, where would you have placed me then? And yes, that came off as very insulting

Uh oh~! I didn't mean to! I thought most people loved terribly insensitive and stereotypical portrayals of their countrymen in cartoon form. Especially when it's terribly insensitive and stereotypical portrayals of their metal head countrymen! I know I do.

But to answer your question, since it's your face that looks much like my friend's brother more than your hair (he has blonde hair about as long as yours; maybe longer, maybe shorter; it's been a while since I've seen him; but he keeps it in a tight ponytail most of the time), I would have simply placed you in his family (which, incidently, is not in Norway)! lol Which would be serious cool, and I'd be jealous because his last name is Hamburger. Just sayin'.

Regarding looks; Because of the way I look people always presume I am your typical metal head, or more specifically, a guy into norwegian black metal.

It's hard to drive yourself away from a stereotype when your look is basically just what it has evolved to without your control (and likewise on the front of music). In fact, it's a rather abstract concept, looks. It's like... You don't want to necessarily look a different way... but you don't want people thinking you're like the next guy who dresses just like you... who is a totally different person and has a completely different personality and musical taste.

It's also unfair, I think, that in a lot of cultures musical taste is so tandem to fashion. I often get mistaken for an American "hipster" or "emo kid" when really I bathe and laugh too often to be accurately described as either one; or to even come close. I put on a plaid shirt, and suddenly people are going, "You hipster types are always wearing plaid." Or I put on a hoodie and people are passing judgment that I am into the All American Rejects and Taking Back Sunday. But truth be told, I wear my hair and clothes quite similar to many of them (I think?) while simultaneously resenting everything they are. The "tight pants" is another thing. I don't squeeze into my pants, but I think since my pants actually fit snugly to my body (which is comfortable to me) people immediately think I'm trying to dress like a skin-tight pants-wearing hipster. I buy jeans from second-hand stores from a bygone era of pants actually fitting people because I'm very tall and lanky and normal pants make me look like I'm swimming. Not to mention the fact that they feel INCREDIBLY heavy on my legs!

Actually, lol, ever since the Jonas Bros. became famous, I've been in Hair Hell. Trimming it doesn't make much change, cutting it short makes me look like I'm 5, and using product in it makes me look like one of those douchebags we were talking about, so HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THIS, PEOPLE? I think I've been so out of touch with my looks for so long that I don't know how to change it while still looking like myself.

But all in all, I think we're just generally what people think we are until they get to know us. Which is cruel, but true nonetheless.

My point, if I had any, is that I am considering changing my look based only on the fact that most preconceive me to be something I am not. But I don't think I will.

Good. Don't! It's completely unnecessary, and you wouldn't be doing it for you. Fuck them!

Just to clarify, I listen to metal, of course

Excellent!

Fredrik thordendal's special defects (the guitarist from the swedish band meshuggah's solo project) is also something I really enjoy. Very dark indeed

Meshuggah! Speaking of "typical metal heads," doesn't it pain you when you're told by a guy wearing a Disturbed shirt that they love Meshuggah? I have to shake my head; *sigh* live and let live...? *sigh* That's like when a dude wearing a Dave Matthew's Band shirt says, "I can't stand James Taylor!"

(it isn't a cool language at all, yukk. Swedish is a prettier language imo)

I'm not sure I've ever even heard Norwegian, let alone seen it typed out. Let me be the judge!

maybe later, if you are worthy, hehe

Yay!

 

[Cobra]

Just realized, this is completely off topic!

Uhm... *clears throat*... Uhm sky scrapers and stuff!

 

[Cobra]

You can build elevators using water and sponges, but it's impossible to build them over sea level without the use of an editor.

Oh yeah!!! Actually, without even realizing it, I may have already built one!

If the spawn point is the same for all (isn't it?), as soon as you come in, go to your right EDIT: (it's actually about 40 steps forward and about 15-20 to the right) and look for a nearby "well-like" object made from gray stone blocks on a small hill of grass. Jump down into it, and you should land on a flower (this is that secret project I was working on... although my more recent activities in it have probably long since given it away, and it is probably not a secret anymore aside from my telling you about it here). The flower is located in front of a fountain-like display of water and what I was trying to get to look like a waterfall from which the water was coming from (this is that "making lemonade from lemons" I was referring to; that whole area flooded which inspired the waterfall idea!). If you travel up that waterfall, you should be able to see that it goes way back and then zig zags upward again after a short tunnel. You go up, up, up for a long time until you get to another long ass tunnel which leads all the way out to what would be the left admin block wall (from the perspective of the spawn point). It doesn't lead anywhere important yet, so I wouldn't advise following it all the way through. It's the start of an underground system I'm working on that will tour your through a number of great things that are (and will be) on the map! Cheers!

 

[kantor1003]

Cobra: If you could choose what kinda first impression your appearance would implant in the majority of people, what would that be? I think we both can agree that it should be one that best represents us on the inside.. but as you pointed out, almost every type of clothing has some kinda dogmas attached to it. Maybe the best would be to dress as anonymous as possible...but then again, you would be perceived as a dull person...or maybe not at all.. not that that would be that bad

Regarding the Disturbed question. Hehe, I find it funny how much such things upset you:P anyways, I really don't like band T-shirts at all.. unless it says "meshuggah"XD can you smell the hypocrisy in me? but really, I don't like band T-shirts. Not at all. Seriously. Maybe a chick corea electric band - shirt...an opeth shirt would maybe pass.. dream theater wouldn't be too bad either... hmm.. symphony x could go as well I guess.. hehe, yeye. As long as you don't wear a cliche shirt that says "iron maiden", "metallica" or "judas priest" it is fair enough Heck, nah, knock yourselves out. Wear all the maiden shirts you want. (where is the puke smily?)

 

[Cobra]

I find it funny how much such things upset you:P

Hah! I guess these things bother me, but not a terrible lot. Someone could love one band for one thing and a different one for another. Even if one band is like the retarded little brother of the other sporting the metaphorical equivalent to the Fisher Price acoustic guitar in comparison whilst claiming to be of the same genre.

But the James Taylor thing stands! No more will I have this, dammit!

I'll let you in on a little secret. I agree with you

 

[Cobra]

It's official. I'm addicted. This morning I dreamed that each time I was hitting the snooze button on my alarm clock that I was actually deleting a gray block from a tall structure in INTP World.

Also dreamed that "as one of the blocky guys from Minecraft, you can't sleep, but if you try you'll forever be stuck as one" and that I tried, succeeded in sleeping, and was convinced that I had disproven the myth, but when I kept trying to grab the blanket to pull it closer to my chin after hitting the snooze button, I didn't have any fingers to pull the blanket with.

Someone help me.

I suppose it's good that VP is currently addicted to Killing Floor so I'm not playing as often as I might be. But still, I'm up to about 2 hours per evening, whether it be in INTP World or someone else's server.

On the bright side, I've been playing it through my lunch breaks at work, so maybe I'll lose some of this extra spare tire I've got.

 

[Cobra]

Had another dream last night in which Minecraft was the interface.

This time, there was some "trouble in the city" (as people kept phrasing it), and we had to build shelter underground, which was, as you guessed it, made up of Minecraft blocks.

People in my dream were impressed with how deft I was in making underground shelters... So this was obviously a dream.

EDIT: Also, I think there was some sex in the dream. Just sayin'. It's gotten that bad.

You can build elevators using water and sponges, but it's impossible to build them over sea level without the use of an editor.

Why not? Use lava instead of water. By normal gameplay you can take lava to anywhere you like, with quite some effort though. And lava is not so transparent like water. Also because lava do not have a sponge equivalent, the elevator would be somewhat more complicated but still doable.
