eRepublik Personality Quiz

Day 1,098, 22:21 • Published in USA USA • by Blank Keating

This article will begin with a story.

I was sitting on my bed today, after my laptop computation device crashed from playing long hours in sexier looking games than this. Mizu was pinging me randomly and ranting about who knows what. It was a slow day. I was like, "why is this day slow?"

Next thing you know, I said "hey, I'm going to make an article." I began writing about morality and roleplaying in the game, and then I thought about how I disagree with some people on the mechanics side too. Then I thought, "dude, there should be a measure of how much people are for mechanics or roleplaying". Then I thought of some cool words for them, and started typing paragraphs and lists around them.

This is the result.

The Results


The purist thinks there's only one thing: game mechanics. That doesn't necessarily mean there's only admin law, player ingenuity is free to stretch those boundaries as long as they're not bannable offenses. Intelligence, innovation, and organization are the name of the game, and morals and ideals have no place. Elections are functions in the eye of the beholder, parties should operate like the shells for national security they are, and citizenship is a choice to all and a right to absolutely no one.


The mechanicist is an avid believer in game mechanics, but doesn't believe it to be absolute all the time. Usually their devotion to the cold mechanics wavers when other cold-hearted bastards are close (or have) destroyed everything they have, or ideals from real life are trampled on. It's highly unlikely you'll see the mechanics man begging for mercy, but you may see them sympathizing with someone who is.


The centrist treads on the narrow fence between absolute mechanics and absolute morals, usually thinking with their heart but not letting it get in the way of a victory. Most centrists will let their ideas be known, whether subtly or loudly, but not act if it interferes with a greater mantra: "it's a game, and games are meant to be won".


The idealist believes morals such as fairness and charity have a place in the game, especially if a smaller entity is under threat, and even more so if they are in that smaller entity. The idealist will think with their heart and act in line with morals they hold in real life, and be vocal and sometimes obstructive if their leadership is working against them. The idealist's good morals may waver when a fair amount of sweet revenge or real life prejudice is introduced.


The moralist believes that all players should get along when it comes to their perception of injustice. The bane of moralist existance is region renting and PTOs, as they'll often see them as disgusting power plays by imperalists to trample smaller regions that rightfully belong to their real life inhabitants, who are still people deep down. Moralists may also hate outside resources like off-site forums with secret sections, seeing them as enemies to fair play and tools of established players to keep newer players on the outside. Should a leadership not follow a moralist's rules, they will shout louder than anyone and do anything to tear the plans down.



Now you know what you are! At the very least, you scanned it, knew I would guess you wrong, and are now cursing my name in the comments. Either way, I win. Why? Because I fought boredom. Now go vote for the Pony Express and the White House Press Release, join Seal Team 6, friend the Department of Education, and if you're in Colorado, vote for me on the 25th. May you have a pleasant night and an enjoyable tomorrow.

Until next time,
