And here is where the road cross-sects. I placed definition in the title for a reason, that being, as in high school and occaisionally at the college, I'm trying to discern how you lot[the FF member body] defines the general personality type of nice; I suffer from no dillusions of grandure. As Okapi has kindly pointed out, I'm not that good, amongst a fair range of things, posting without coming of as condesending; therefore, please let me expound and clarify and if the purpose of my inquiry is still unclear or simply unanswerable after that, then fine, so is life.
First off, I'd hope that as most of you have more years under your belts than me, you've all been able to note that despite the infinite differencation of each person's personality there are still general types. The athlete, the quiet one, the shy one, the hot one, the nice one, etcetera etcetera; yes, it sounds like breaking down high school clicks, but having obsereved the same sort of structure at my work place and occasionally abroad either it's a strange coincidence or the pattern doesn't end when you get your diploma. Of this I've obsereved that the personality type of nice-defined by a lack of self-concern, work ethic without any real incentive or chance of advancement, and a generally couteous or kind demeanor, tends to be the one who is first to be kicked under the bus and the last to be pulled out of the fire despite everyone's love or admiration for working with them; hence why I find "indisctiminently nice" a more apt naming for it. Then you have me, not nice, just with similar qualities that exist to a fault out of some sense of social appropriacy; I say that with every attempt not to sound like I do it as a disguise or with some sort of alterior motive. When it came to getting along with co-workers and mental health patients, that was just the easiest way to do things; the label of "nice" just stuck like every other time before I came to the conclusion the best way to co-exist was to act as such. It doesn't mean I have no personality bleeding through, it simply means that "faulted nice" as classified is more of a survival strategy then outright type.
Now what I'd like to here, please[?], is similarly geared notings that you lot have made.
Oh, and to the address that I'm bitching, no, not really. I've always been single and to be frank I find it kind of better when I compare to what all my bound buddies have to deal with; I don't swing mind you, but I get to keep the extra on my check instead of having to impress someone with it.

I find myself in a similar position to the four years of fun formerly known as high school. Having chosen to enter the forums again and taken the same stance I tend to, as it turns out my opinion is far less acceptable to FF's body. My temper having slipped finally, it seems high time I draw this matter to its end and vanish for a while.
From what I've gathered in reading and studying the threads on attraction and their subsiquent divergence into the mechanics of relationships, it is the standing fact of this site's main body that relationships are first and foremost centered on sex, with any sort of emotional or sentimental components being mere pretext or justification. Science having already laid clear biochemestry and mechanics something to that effect, fine, I'll concede that point fully.
"Nice" being a personality type that has been sighted for being both a sign of sexual ineptitude, incapacity, or general failure with the fairer sex, I at least wish to see if any will concede that point that for however pathetic in romantic affairs, they are necessary to keep the world running.
With their political correctness and overall easily tolerable personalities, "nice" or "normal" people act as the grease or berrings; furthermore, for however little it[personality] may be of value in the sack, I would still argue that the general traits implied with a "nice" personality are easiest to co-exist with between romantic interludes.
Does anyone agree with me now?

Actually, given the surprising level of untapped talent that "ordinary, average people" possess when they chose to exercise it; I started BattleScape because I was bored and wanted to do something creative to push myself.
I've never taken a formal art class in my life save for a half semester primer in 7th grade, thus leaving the finer details of sketchwork and color balance not in my skill set for the most part; within this community or the net circles it connects to through the members it's highly likely that someone can fulfill that need for the pay of credit 'n a challenge. In the writing [lore, etcetera etcetera], while my skills are held fairly up there by those who've read it, they leave something to be desired in the finer points of it. And in technological terms, well, computers hate me and this site functioning properly while I'm on it is a small miracle.
Oh, and CanadianEnglish, on the second note I made I believe even if it were as a consult or in tips and tricks then that'd be highly appreciable. Thank you very much for your offer.

Sorry; you can delete this one to if you'd like. Being an administrator, presumably higher than a moderator[?], I don't like the idea of running aground with the law of the law, card blanc granted or not. I've worked on it oh so a my-oh before, so if that's the way it goes then c'est la ver.

As the general forum will be viewed by more bodies and therefore provide a wider drawing base for the endeavor, I would like to see if anyone would be like, be willing, or could direct me to someone who could assist on improving upon the D&D/ Scifi style card game I've been working on for some...12, maybe 13 years now? It's called BattleScape and while I have a fair amount of the cards [1260 divided into sets of 60 with 3 pre-leases] done already and the rules outlined, however I'd like help if you lot would with: 1)uping the caliber of the art work, 2)assessing the stats, point system, and rules for general ease, and 3)to see if my dorkiness could finally be rewarded by-along with the awesome supporting team who would be totally given due diligence credit, BattleScape go online as some sort of MMO or RPG deal.
And yes, with point 3 I realize the genre is totally overloaded right now; that's what sleeper cell style, late in the game developments are for, right?

Primer question 1: Have you read/ seen/ heard of the manga and anime series Gurren Lagann?
Primer question 2: If you can answer yes to the above, the do you remember the origionally epic leader of team Dai Gurren, Kamina?
Since giving away you name or date of birth or any of that other basic intel' kills valuable manuevering room to read people with, I figured I'd tell something else with my name, that being one of the things I like...okay, "like" should be replaced with "am addicted to like some drug that you spend a majority of your money and spare time on" followed by "Manga and Books" but you get the point, right?
