But what results do you need to be the Foe of Glebe? That's what I want to know.

to become the foe you have to get a type of 2w2 and to get glebe your level has to be 10 and your aspect doesn't matter because you are glebe.

Hmm, I am either Monk of Hope, or Priest of Blaze (Well, Priest & Monk are totally interchangeable, I just felt like putting them there like that)

Though it is for a different reason than most indecisions I believe -- I was a little unsure as to what my exact "level" would be, so I wasn't entirely sure whether to go with my strongest aspect or my weakest aspect

Nobody should be proud of sharing any traits with Sollux. He might be the worst character in the comic, despite my inequalities two pages back. At least Feferi stayed away from the main plot most of the time. Sollux, for the longest time, seemed to be around only because Andrew forgot to kill him off.

Oh, and if I'm doing it right, I'm the Monk of Void. Seems fine.

Mage of Void or Mind (tied)

If I would have picked 5 instead of 4 (they were pretty close), it would be Mage of Breath or Doom.

When you consider that the roles you're given are meant to challenge you to better yourself according to the plot, the roles you're given and the abilities that likely come with them would fully test both your strengths and character flaws. While I don't give much credit to astrology or horoscopes, the level to which this was detailed and thought through is on an impressively similar level to that. The difference is that since this one actually is based entirely on personality traits, it does a better job at identifying someone for those roles. Even knowing that the actual tests and personality listings were made for separate (New Age from the looks of it) reasons, being able to make this entire game based on that was quite ingenious. That game was actually really well thought out, at least from my perspective.

For me, I'm about as much of an "Investigator" as you can get with my strongest qualities being my lack of liveliness, massive paranoia (I'm paranoid, OCD, and majorly phobic), and perfectionism beyond any healthy levels, but am so over-saturated with qualities that come from trying to help others and being so much of a warm and empathetic "people person" in spite of being such a recluse that the role of Seer of Life would be the best fit for my strengths while also being the greatest challenge for my flaws. While I had trouble determining whether I fell in the average or unhealthy (Life vs Space as conflicting results),

What we know about Seers is that their roles tend to be both literal and metaphorical with the depth of the abilities. Seer of Light (Luck) sees the paths to fortune. Seer of Mind (I was hoping for this as it also would have been quite apt) can see the resulting consequences of decisions made by others. Seer of Life has a couple of options that I can see. Whereas Rose sees luck consequential to a decisive action (Seer of Light) and Terezi sees consequence as result of various decisions (Seer of Mind), would a Seer of Life see life consequential to endeavor? Being a seer means guiding others, so I could definitely see it as being someone in charge of guiding others toward a path that ends with the most of them remaining alive... though technically, Terezi should have been able to do the same in spite of all of the corpses that kept piling up around Dave. As someone who over-analyzes the risk in every mundane thing, the challenge would be putting aside the known risks to look at the decided reward, but knowing precisely the risks involved that end in death would allow me to take advantage of those strengths as well.

Correction: Seer of Doom

I actually went back and did the math before I posted my previous one, but thought it would be best to just post this separate while keeping my original thoughts. The funny part to me is that even though the title changes, the end result does not. Only now instead of seeing "the path in which the most people would stay alive," it instead just ends up being "the path which holds doom consequential to action." While "doom" and "death" aren't necessarily the same thing, it would be similar enough in this context that it would likely have the same results. Only this time instead of seeing multiple paths or a single path that brings about life, it's instead seeing multiple paths (preferably avoided) that end in doom.

Because of the altered methods of 100-Anxiety and 100-Tension for those aspects, it would actually make Doom and Rage among the more difficult for rational people to achieve. I guess having irrational mental disorders aided in that one.

I am apparently the Monk of Blaze.

I have a feeling a lot of people here will get either Blaze or Breath <.<


It would just depend on the level of their type as to whether they were using the positive or negative aspect of their type to determine whether they are using their highest or lowest cases, in which case the person with Blaze or Breath will either be incredibly socially awkward as their most defining characteristic or incredibly socially domineering.

The first part of the previous post was actually in response to this as well, but I ended up losing this part in editing and didn't get around to pasting it back.

Having reread the update and gone back to look at Lalonde's room, I think the cat is just a red herring. Without seeing a wider shot of her room to see any appearifying apparatus, I'm going to assume that she has some means of appearifying via computer without any landing pad and the book dropped down on her desk to smash her bev rage. She's just stressing over spilled elixir... or possibly just things that her drink is now drenching that probably should not be gotten wet.

Mage of Life, if I did all that right. Seems like a generic healing class at first glance, but I'm sure one could arrive at much more interesting interpretations with a bit of creativity.

Well, if you want to get creative with interpretations, a "Mage of Life" that "gives life" to those without it could just as easily be pretty words to disguise that they're really just necromancers that animate the dead to do their bidding.

I'd certainly think that a Mage of Doom (like Sollux) upon reaching God Tier would use magic that dooms others in a fashion similar to black mages, Mage of Rage would just go Kefka on everything, and a Mage of Light would likely cast spells affecting the targets luck. If we assume that a "Mage" class is primarily offensive as well, necromancy to animate a foe seems much more offensive than just bringing it back to life.

Of course, the entire thing is just speculation on my part based on what I've seen thus far, but those are some interpretations that I could see being possible assuming a Mage of Life wouldn't just go around casting spells that make people either... more or alive or much less... dead. Otherwise, I'd just see a Mage of Life pulling a Poison Ivy and using living things like plants to do their bidding.

Bro officially moved ahead of Jake in my rankings. He might fall back down again if he has another particularly lexically dense speech, though (don't get me wrong, that stuff is great, but it's a bit excessive with Di Stri).

Also, I really wish Dave had finished analyzing the kids on this website: http://dstrider.blogspot.com/2010/02/some-candy-company-ripped-me-off.html (yeah I know it's old but I read it yesterday and couldn't stop laughing)

Dave's blog was just magical and I'm sad Andrew doesn't update it anymore. He did say something to the effect that suddenly abandoning the blog would be both be something that Dave would do, and in the spirit of blogs in general though.

Also note how "about halfway through the book" means page 2.

Page 2 was just page 2. Jane was only noting that once you actually do get halfway through the book (which is "Later, about halfway through" and not on page 2), Strider starts pasting over *entire pages* with his own continuation of the story while abandoning everything else in the story except the chapter titles. He hasn't quite started doing that by the second page.

The "about halfway through" making it seem like that's almost all there was to it amused me though. For a second, it tripped me up as well until I finished reading the text and thought it through for a moment.
