accidentally i was just ready to start a thread to debate if
ArchonAlarion is an LSI. the impression of he not being an ILE grows more and more. maybe i'm a bit off-topic because i don't know
Tom but i'll say my thoughts.
i see
ArchonAlarion somehow "different", he looks more "inertial" to me, compared to ILEs i know and i see on the forum. i see him slow but steady, also watched his videos and it confirms me that.
ArchonAlarion, you don't look to me excited usually how a typical ILE is, but mainly determined and methodical. and... a bit stubborn
. i perceive you basing your knowledge on the writings, bills and whatever you consider established documentation, although ILEs are many times surpassing the rules, exposing their insights.
but compared to LSIs, ILEs can come back quickly and dismiss their temporary "raving" easily which don't seem to apply to you. you seem to have a feeling of working on solid grounds, take your independent conclusions (and innovations) although you seem not at all ready to step back. not that stepping back is a good solution (especially when you are right it is the worst thing to do), but ILEs "prime matter" is so volatile and "drafty" that hardly one can be confident in it.
i could analyze more of your posts, if i have the time, now i briefed some of my observations. reading above i can see some points:
- "I have always thought abstractly and the hidden underlying connections and processes interest me significantly more than physical ones..." i see this more related to strong logic, specifically in your case Ti: how to see the structure of this wold, to put it in a logical system, the hierarchy of things.
- "Strrrng and Steve. Both say I'm Alpha, Steve believes Im ILE." - don't know about Steve, but strrrng throws in Alpha what he doesn't like. check him out
(this was half serious/half joke)
- "I often make up worlds in my head."
"I like drawing maps of fantasy worlds and creating histories for them."
"I am also a gamer. Mostly I like strategy games and role playing games. Since I can remember I've wanted to be a god, so naturally Im drawn to games like Black and White, Fable, Total War series, Oblivion."
"I must admit I do enjoy designing rules for games and assigning attributes, which I consider TiNe." - these express traits arguably found mostly among LSIs. they build their ow system, and rather try to adapt the reality to their (perfect) one than to adapt. by contrast, LIIs prefer to isolate from the "imperfection" to have a steady flow.
"assignation", "conscription" - words which if not invented by LSI then by who? LIIs, the Ne rulers prefer to
find those attributes in characters, instead of
dictating them roles. ILEs too, they discover the good characters in the games and dismiss those who don't prove possibly useful. ILEs are interested in the whole game world idea to be able to manage their characters/team around, rather than making it perfect. SLEs prefer to focus on being powerful, being good and taking the victories, with only as much interest in the whole system as they need to avoid loosing.
question: do you like multi-player games, too?
ps: you like boxxy very much, as an LSI you could have a happy life with one like her, but as an ILE it would suck
