100 percent cosmopolitan
53 percent regionalist

100 percent raider
25 percent defender

I believe defenders serve a purpose, but nobody "deserves" to not to be raided or to be defended.

For the record, this is the Imperial Crown/Joshua Ravenclaw/Eagleswing


I confess that I would be more comfortable if there were possible questions and results featuring other popular political and military ideologies such as "neutral", "imperialist", "independent".

I noticed on the original test I went from regionalist defender to cosmopolitan raider as my career in Osiris gathered steam and I learnt more about the game. I'm putting that shift down to the conflicts Osiris was having internally with defenders for much of that time which influenced my perception of them. Contrary to the earliest periods where I was far too willing and naive when it came to raiders and found it believable what I was told. *yawn*

I chose the "no preference" option a lot for the R/D test and very rarely if at all shifted the "priority" bar. I predicted defenderist, because I'd be an idiot otherwise. My actual preference is "neutral".

As it stands:

Defenderist 100%
Raiderist 42%

Onto the regionalist/cosmopolitan test, I actually have no issues about the results available, as a diplomat I have often had to remind regional leaders and chief executives of the possible consequences of certain actions and I have tended to be visible in various regional communities as a way of expanding my circle of connections and contacts.

Cosmopolitanist 100%
Regionalist 39%

It has been a long time since I have solely given all of my time to one region. Once I entered the field of diplomacy I decided I'd be able to experience a lot more if I actually explored various regions and got to know various people. That is around the time my alignment started shifting as I mentioned above.

Eh, these are always good time wasters.

R/D test:
100% Defenderist
8% Raiderist

I imagine the 8% raiderist thing stems from me not seeing raiders as universally bad people (just some of you!), and my somewhat noncommittal position on moral defenderism.

R/C test:
100% Cosmopoltianist
41% Regionalist

As for this, I've always found it hard to place me in either the cosmopolitan camp or the regionalist camp. I have, at time, supported restricting citizens to WA members (I argued for this in Osiris), but I no longer support that with any vigor. I do think there are people who definitely should be viewed with suspicion for how many regions they're in, but that's not a universal litmus test for me. I also think the whole idea of patriotism/nationalism in NS regions is dumb and unhealthy and discourages community growth.

On a side-note, "Cosmopolitanist" is very ear-grating.

I agree. To be honest, I think the term 'Interregionalist' would have been more appropriate, but I was focused on staying true to the original test. The test also doesn't take into account Anti-positions. Anti-Establishment(Anti-Regionalists) people will get lumped in with the internationalists for example.

There's no basis to this claim, but I think the older one gets in the game, the more they tend towards "center", ie, a mix of both philosophies. Could be wrong though.

I'm surprised I got such a high defender score, but I suppose that's a consequence of my more moderate view of raiding.
