What Gamer Type are You?

1. The zombie apocalypse is upon us! What's your preferred method of survival?

• You've watched movies on this. Grab your cricket bat and head for the nearest pub.
• You've been waiting for this day. Time to head out and start wracking up the kill count.
• Defend your base and command targeted missions out into the affected area.
• Stock up on the essentials and try to cope with the situation.
• Gather your friends together and hope you all make it. Somehow.
• Luck.

2. You're planning for a big evening party at your house. Where is your focus for it during the hours beforehand?

• Whatever extra steps are necessary to make sure it's memorable.
• Cleaning up the place and hiding the breakables.
• Sending out last minute invitations and directions.
• Making a great playlist.
• Prep..ar..a..tion? None needed. These things just work themselves out.
• Shopping to make sure you'll have enough food and drink for the guests.

3. Your game was supposed to last two hours. It's currently going on hour number four with no sign of stopping. What do you do?

• You burnt through all your strategies awhile ago. Now it's time for an all-out assault with the few pieces you have left.
• You're not sure how you've lasted this long, but you keep going. Now's the time to get really creative.
• If the game is developing in a fun way, you want to see where it ends up next.
• Continue to acquire resources and build your troops. With enough forces, you could launch a final attack to end it all.
• You don't complain. Supposedly, your elaborate turns and complex moves are the reason you're running so late to begin with.

6. Another player backstabs you at the beginning of a game. How do you react?

• You don't know without more detail, as it would depend on many factors.
• 'Target Acquired'.
• Tease them mercilessly for the rest of the night.
• Fortify your defenses, and build your strength until someone else weakens the other player. Then, strike with minimal losses.

7. It's a boring day at work. What are you doing to keep yourself from falling asleep?

• Chatting with your friends.

• Planning ahead. There might be something you can do now to save you some time when you're busy again.
• Re-organizing office supplies.

8. Well, you didn't play that very well. You've made a rather significant miscalculation, and now you don't stand a chance of victory. How do you cope?

• Try to rebuild your wealth. You may not finish with the gold, but you still won't give up the chance at silver.
• Laugh it off.
• You might not be able to win, but you'll last until the end. Shore up your defenses and sit out the siege.
• Curse yourself, and spend the rest of the game annoying the remaining players.
• You wish you could remember what you did so that you won't make the same mistake twice, but alas. Moving on..
