No, I'm afraid I discarded mine a while ago - hard to go sneaking around when there's a big light around you...besides, what's an INTP without the whole 'loving the shadows' bit? :p I haven't been on INTPf (or MSN) for a while, so - how's the New Year treating you?

I think problems arise because INTPs see differences of opinion as just that - differences of opinion, and try to keep them separate from their personal opinions of other people (for the most part, anyhow). Other people, however, seem to associate an attack on an idea or argument as an attack...

Er, how long should each section of the round robin be?

Up - especially the initial montage (though some of the later scenes were pretty heartwrenching as well). I almost cried - mind you, I bit my lip and clenched my fist so that I wouldn't, even though I was in a dark movie theatre where nobody would see me cry. I enjoyed it on one level (I guess...

Man, Holmes rocked. It was a great modernization of Holmes - Robert Downey Jr. did a fantastic job of transferring Holmes to a modern audience and to film from the books. He did seem to be a bit more willing to get his hands dirty/break social conventions instead of gaming them, but it was...

Run, don't walk. Seriously, you wouldn't believe the looks you'll get from people if you just run around to places instead of walking...I guess not everyone's an RPG-hero :p.

Genre-savvy sounds like a good descriptor of how I'd like this campaign to go...and here's my (badly written, very liable to change, but done) backstory.

Alright! A lawful evil cleric + a chaotic good paladin is bound to make for some interesting RPing...

The music, definitely. It might be that I was classically trained, but I find it exceedingly difficult to concentrate on the lyrics. I do appreciate good lyrics, but whenever I think of a song or sing it aloud, I always sing (or try and sing) the instrumental parts instead of the vocal part...

I think a hilarious one to break would be this one: Never use a urinal if someone's in the one next to it/never choose the middle urinal. Sadly, I think you're female, so that one wouldn't work (unless you really want to mess things up :p). A few others would be: - Stand really close to...

I love Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog! How can anyone not love Joss Whedon + Malcolm Reynolds/Nathan Fillion + Neil Patrick Harris - who also happens to have a PhD in horribleness? The musical numbers are surprisingly catchy, and the storyline was a heartwrencher...supposedly, there's a sequel...

Egh...I really didn't like Avatar. I will grant it this, though - the visuals were absolutely stunning. I managed to see it in IMAX 3D, and the technical work that they pulled off was amazing (although the stereoscopic image broke apart when I tilted my head, forcing me to keep my head...

My thoughts exactly. I'd say that the majority of the members on the character optimization boards would be NTs - I don't think the other types would be drawn into gaming the system as much/arguing about RAW vs. RAI as NTs :p. I think that getting to know the ins and outs of the system and...

Personally, I really like British accents - they just sound...refined (non-Cockney accents, that is). Californian accents are also pretty cute in a girl, but in a guy...eh... Oddly enough, people think that my speech impediment is actually a British accent...something I don't correct them on ;).

Eh, so...that backstory...yeah...I blame winter vacation and a new computer for sidetracking me! But, here's my character sheet for a human Paladin (sans most of the equipment and HP). When university starts up in earnest next week, I'll have time away from gaming all day to finally write up a...

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who has fits of silliness sometimes; I also play with tile patterns on the floor...that xkcd comic pretty much sums up how I think whenever someone points out my habit. I find that subtly taking on certain aspects of fictional characters in social...

@eudemonia: That looks lovely; I wish there was that much snow on the ground where I am, but it's been warmer than usual this year...ah, well, Santa Doom will stop by soon, I suppose. Merry Christmas! :D

Heh, I tend to steal mine from deviantart, as I am somewhat...lacking in the portrait-drawing department ;). Also, writing up my character's background and whatnot is taking longer than expected (although the character sheet is done!)...

When I played Dragon Age, Zevran really reminded me of Melkor. Speaking of which - how come you've only posted once, Melkor? I thought you'd have a field day with this one :p.

While we're on the subject of house-ruling, would you allow this paladin homebrew, minus the prowess/skillset modifications? At any rate, I'm thinking of making an elven paladin (if that's a go) or an elven cleric of Corellon (war/good domains). I'll try to have a backstory/character sheet up...

Ah, one more time, then. ...so I managed to delete my previous post, which had crazy good rolls (I thought I'd double-posted...) I'm going to just roll on myth-weavers (a pbp site with a wicked dice rolling code), and link over my rolls. Here are my re-rolls - this should mean that I have...

Alright! Time to get those rolls going...come on, RNG :D: Alright - it seems like you're not able to make rolls in an edited post, so please forgive me for the string of posts that will inevitably follow...

Alright - this is a thread to try and type Batman (or, rather, try and determine the order of his cognitive functions). I'll throw out my thoughts on the subject; feel free to toss yours in as well. Fi: As a lot of people have said on this forum, Fi seems to be about values and not necessarily...

Well, we definitely have a respectable group of people willing to play, and the accessibility of the SRD (or homebrew) takes care of the edition decision...so now we're on to deciding a time/way to play, I guess? There's two ways I see something like this happening: 1) We "meet" at a set...

I imagine that this would be from the Similar Minds website? Interestingly enough, it also lists INFPs and INTJs (but not INFJs, oddly) as also being 'familiar with the darkside.' Anyhow, I think that "familiar with the darkside" is fairly typical for INTPs - after all, dark != evil. Darkness...

What does everyone here think about Santa (ideologically speaking, not if he literally exists). Is Santa simply a tool used to keep children in check, and to increase the consumerist spirit that pervades Christmas, or does Santa represent what he's supposed to - goodwill, jollyness, and all...

I'd love to have a forensic psychology or a criminology textbook, to tell you the truth; failing that, pretty much anything from thinkgeek would be pretty awesome as well. I haven't really found myself yearning for anything in particular for a long time... But as for gift ideas - like Da Blob...

Awesome! If this ever gets off the ground, it would be amazing. My vote would be to go with 3.5e, because the SRD (i.e. pretty much everything you need to play, if you just want the core rules) is entirely online - sadly, Wizards decided not to make 4e open content, so you need to buy the...

The books did say that Holmes was good at fisticuffs, skilled with firearms and a drug addict, but the main reason I enjoyed reading them was because of they emphasized his mental prowess and not his physical capabilities (although they were still present). I'm all for alternative...

I have mixed feelings about this movie...on one hand, it is Sherlock Holmes - on the other hand, I don't like the vibe that I'm getting from the trailer. It does look like it'll be pretty cool, but whether or not it'll be Holmes is another matter (which will have to wait until it comes out...)

Welcome - I like your avatar ;).

Crushing my enemies, seeing them driven before me, and hearing the lamentation of their women!:hoplit09: Er, in all seriousness, though, I really enjoy people - but it's more about understanding them rather than actually interacting with them. I love to try to see how people think, and then...

I say we abandon the MBTI, and use this all-knowing, 100% accurate oreo personality test instead; furthermore, intpforum ought to be re-named oreoforum in honour of this new discovery ;).

I like to play hybrids/gishes - generally melee with a touch of spellcasting. In WoW, the Paladin fit this niche pretty well; in Anarchy Online, the metaphysicist could be built to essentially be a buff-dependent melee bulldozer (complete with an attack, stun, and healing pet), and in DnD (not...

I got it on Friday, and I think it's a pretty fun game; I do, however, think that Bioware's story-writing team has gotten quite complacent - really, every single one of their games after KOTOR follows the exact same plot: 'beginning' mission, get plot upgrade (in form of ascendancy to elite...

Er...it depends on what type of zombie you're dealing with, I suppose? I'm not really a zombie 'expert', but I will throw out a few ideas. If you're dealing with the 'voodoo zombie', then you'll get blood, because they're just normal people who've been cursed - according to what legend says...

I'd be inclined to say it would only be counted as 'murder' if the accused (aspiring adventurer or whatnot) went out of their way to end the werewolf's life when there were other less-lethal ways to go about solving a problem; i.e. if the werewolf knew about their condition and was caged, but...

Re: planes of existance I do think you're onto something there, Logician, when you talk about human senses not being able to fully understand the world around us; we could very well be missing out on a whole lot of other things that we just can't sense - it could be something spiritual, or it...

Nighttime is so much nicer than daytime; I find that the stars and the moon have a very calming effect on not only myself, but the city I live in, too. I think that there's a certain mystique about the night (so long as you're not downtown clubbing, or anything) - it's great to just walk...

I'd have to say plenty. At its core (like all sciences, I suppose) psychology sets out to answer one burning question: why? Why do people act the way they do? What can we do to understand others? What's the truth? Sadly, psychology does have the label of being more of a pseudo-science than...

I found algebra boring in junior high and high school, but when I got to university (and calculus) I loved it. We weren't told any one specific way to do it, so solving problems became puzzles where I could just play around with ideas until I found the answer...there were always multiple ways...

Uh, the best advice I can give is to maintain eye contact, don't fidget, and act relaxed (including your entire body, and not just your face). Although none of those are really correlated with people being able to detect lies, a lot of people still think that they're indications of a liar...so...

I think IB put it pretty well in his post; I'd go with what your 'gut' tells you and try not to rationalize it too much (funny saying that on a forum for INTPs...) Anyhow, just go with what you think feels right, and more importantly, once you've made your choice, don't fret about it. There's...

1) Eh, I'm a fast sprinter, so I'd probably run after him or try and stop him somehow (given that the probability of putting myself in danger where I live is close to nil). Plus, who doesn't love being the big hero sometimes? 2) Ask them about it how long they've had it/how they got it/why I...

Yeah...I tend to try and deflect most questions thrown my way. If people ask me a question I don't want to give a straight up answer to, I give them an answer that's semi-ambiguous; the correct answer is there, but unless you already knew it, my answer won't reveal anything more. I find that...

I'd say that INTJs take the cake on this one - their ability to make (and execute) plans probably puts them in a better position than an INTP to actually make and follow through with a grand master plan. When I think INTJ, I think of Light Yagami or Lex Luthor. I'd say, however, that INTPs...

Alright...I saw the test that Agent Intellect posted, and thought it might be interesting for others to take. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a "your type of man" personality test (there is a "Which man turns you on" test apparently, but it's based on superficial appearances as opposed...

Hmmm...alright, time to be wrong (yet again): INFP? I don't know... ESFP - just a guess, but why would someone let a picture be taken of them if they're really feeling that sad? I think it was staged...it looks a bit overdone, so I'm going to go with ESFP (of course, if he really was...

Oh, man, I love diplomacy - it's actually awesome. I was introduced to it in Grade 11 by my History Teacher (before I learned to play Risk, actually) and I definitely prefer it over Risk any day (which, as you said, is far too dependent on chance). If you want to play online, you can check...

I've asked a few people who are familiar with the MBTI what they thought my type was, and it's been INTJ all three times. It's strange - out of all of the dichotomies, the J/P axis is probably one where, if people knew me, they'd probably get right. I guess most people don't know me that...
