When I was tested, I had #1 as one of my tests with the option. I combined both into mine.

The biggest problem I have with the testing is it really isn't Role Playing you are testing. You are testing the story telling skills of the members. There is not any interaction with the test subject for it to be called Role Playing.

Sorry, I had to get that off my chest.

Phew!, I was worried I would get flamed for that but I am glad I have not been the only one to notice.

You need not fear being flamed for a comment, especially by our mods and admins, yes even 5CN is reasonable( :P )

I agree completely. When I got here, I had no idea what type of enemy the Shivans were or how powerful their ships were.

So I got ingenuitive and thought up a way to beat the system, but in the end I wound up getting docked points for trying to be original.

I think this needs to be rethought.

You got docked points for using trektech, which I personally hate. ;) And more importantly for trying to cheat the system. Specifically, the scenario called for you to respond to ONE and no more than one distress call. That scenario was meant to see what kind of player you were, in addition to how you dealt with phyric victories.

You shouldnt dock points just because someone has used tech they feel comfortable with, and you shouldnt let your own tastes be used when your judging someone else ability.

Honestly, I saw everyone else using it so I thought it was standard or something.

Note the ;) smiliey. I didn't actually dock points for using trektech. I'm not quite that petty.
