If you scored ....

- positive 22 or more: You are a true burcs! A pog-tossin', VTOL swarmin', tank-droppin', cheese warrior. You play to win and expect others to be competitive, and feel that any less is a sign of inferiority just like Mechs on the Battlefield. Cheese is a term others use on whatever you use to kick their rear.
- positive 11 to 21: You are a moderate burcs. You play to win. You want to be competitive as possible, but still have fun in the process. To you, there is no cheese.
- positive 1 to 10: You like to play for both winning and for fun, but enjoy winning whenever you can. Cheese is ok in moderation.
- negative 1 to 10: You like to play for both winning and for fun, but you'd rather get that fellowship prize really ... and don't care if you lose, as long as you lose to a Mech. Oh and cheese is lame, and cheesewarriors suck!
- negative 11 to 21: You are a moderate scrub. You feel anything's better than fielding cheese. You hate cheese and will never play anything resembling cheese. You think VTOLs are cheese, artillery is cheese, ATVs are cheese, and Arnis too! You think cheese players should get a life, and never bother your "fun" venue at all. Besides, cheese isn't fun, and the game is all about fun, and MECHS!!
- negative 22 or less: You are a true scrub! You'd rather quit the game than always playing those stupid Mechless mutt arty VTOL tankdrop forces, those who field them are LAME and should be disqualified or banned. You hate competitive players who don't field a Mech, and you think your force SHOULD win because you have set the better example by fielding a faction pure Mech force. After all, your army is better and more original than those stupid donar-poggers! The game is all about Mechs and should be more like CBT was! WizKids should have a Mech only, faction pure, 900 point format!
- over positive 30: anti-scrub. Scrubs annoy you, so you leave as soon as you can.
- under negative 30: scrub of scrubs. You wish all those non-scrubs would drop off the planet.

This is a hoot...

1) DF
2) DQ
3) Trade
4) I like mechs, but...
5) Donar or Maxim? I like both!
6) Gotta keep track of the VC's
7) ATV's... weeeee!!!
8) SS Mechs suck
9) A well concieved army can't compensate for lack of "proper play" ... especially at high levels.

I got 23... What's a "burcs"?

:)

Never mind ... burcs ... got it!

you left arnis out of 2 and 5

Hit me dead on! I got -3

Nicely done. I'm a four but I'm sure my score would vary depending on what my mood was for a particular game night.

I protest question #5. Mavis Morgan is a good mech.

I don't care what your little test says, I'm just going to play my nice little painted pieces and say that I am the epitome of the scrubbie hoi polloi

I scored a +4, but this could change if I played somewhere other than where I play now. ;)

1) Your favorite faction to play is ...
- Highlander (0)

2) Your idea of a well built army contains ...
- a Mech, a VTOL, some infantry, an artillery (0)


3) After a venue event, you ...
- teach the kids some new tricks of your own (+1)

4) You think ...
- I like Mechs, but they're just not worth their points (+2)

5) Your favorite unit is ...
- your One Eyed Jack or Mason Dunne (0) (Well, Joel Nguyen, really, but close enough)

6) During end-game, you ...
- promptly sweep up the field (+1)

7) On your first move, you usually ...
- pog (+3)

8) You think Swordsworn Mechs ...
- have terrible heat dials (+1)

9) Your feelings on the National and World championship are ...
- I couldn't go, but am saving up for it next year (+1)

Score: 9
Yeah, that's about right. I mean, I don't go in WANTING to lose, but I don't think I'm the venue's top player or anything. As for cheese, well, I play mild cheese-Sniper-swarms, maybe a Kelswa-drop, but I try to use a 'Mech most of the time. Granted, it's usually Kava Graves, which is one of the best 'Mechs out right now, but still a 'Mech.

Not to mention on Question #5 there was not one refrense to any Liao Mechs at all we have at least 5 or 6 very playable mechs
1. Catallina
2. Jung Chae
3. Jason Bell
4. :^^^: Targe
5. The other Yu Haung ( Aderjeck Qsaafsjlfd what ever his name is)
6. Insert Name of Liao Mech of your choice here :classic:

@Will-Both of me took the test, but we scored WAY different.
{The only way to tell who is in charge of the body is watching to see if it's using it's right or left hand.}

How would you rate SD as a whole after your experience last Saturday?

You're right, I forgot Arnis.

on 2, Arnis would be +1
on 5, Arnis would be +1

rationale ... it's cheesy to scrubs, but at least it's a Mech.

MY point Value is 4. and I could not agree more, cheese is acceptable in moderation. ATVs are a Viable realistic tactic.

Well I only saw 3 armies, really ...

BH / ATVs = classic competitive force. +2 (on the ... your army question)
Kadun's dual Kelswa drop turtles = army that has SERIOUS potential in the metagame. +3
Tigermoto's DF VTOL swarm. Uh, it has 3 donars, so a +4.

Overall: given the criteria of faction pure, I'd say your venue's armies (overall from the 3 I've seen) can give any expert a challenge ... like it did me. :)

(I like challenges)
