I tend to get ENTJ (commander) and ENTP (debater).
But I've taken the official MBTI test through college and I'm trained on personality tests.
The MBTI is nice but it's not 100% perfect/scientific.
See also the Big Five test.
Also, the fewer questions on an online test, usually (but not always) the less accurate it will be.

This is from an official college test I took today, to accomplish an assignment.  I've taken the MBTI before and gotten ENTP, but usually ENTJ.  Keep in mind MBTI results are your personality preference, meaning you can "change" personalities from day to day.  And it's not a strict science: MBTI is slightly weak on test-retest reliability due to what it measures.

What's the point of this weapon?  Does it push?

I was looking for a flash game or some game with mechs.  Battle Mechs had become boring.  None of the vote options work for me, so I didn't vote.

there is something they can do, just no one wants to.  they could run a script periodically to find them and put them on temp ban.  they could, you know, maybe actually play the game once a month at that rank level using an alt so they can find them.  they could listen to our reports about them.  they could put in a rank 10 "wall" like we have at rank 5.  tons of options.  nothing is being done.

Only gaining new Smurfs ….

Yeah I think we need a channel or post on here where we can post screenshots of smurfs who are ruining the game.  I encountered like 5 of them yesterday just trying to get my five daily wins.
However, I would love to help with this, but I would need the reassurance of the forum moderators that they aren't going to take the post down.  They tend to do this with rants about how the game has issues.

If all good things must come to an end, then all things that aren't so good must also come to an end.
I had to sit and think about this, and research it.  When I did, I realized it was time to leave.  No one plays a game forever anyways.  So I am working on handing over control of Noble Warriors and Noble Padawans to others.  None of my accounts have any unfair advantage, so it will not harm others.
These are the answers to the 20 questions for me.  I am not saying they should be how you think: everyone must answer them on their own.  But for me, this is what I came up with.
Is it a waste of time?  It's increasingly feeling like one. Is it a waste of money?  I would argue yes, based on the amount I've spent versus other games like Borderlands 2/3. Is it a low return on investment?  It feels that way. Does it accomplish anything real world?  No. Does it result in social isolation?  Yes, as no one I know near me plays this game. Does it result in a skewed sense of reality?  Not really. Does it detract from goals?  For me, yes.  I want to become better at other things in life. Is it a pleasure hijacker?  For me, yes.  The thrill is gone. Does it give me a false sense of completion?  Yes. Does it result in the failure to resolve conflicts? No, I'm extroverted and I handle stuff. Does it result in procrastination? Yes. Does it give me irrational fears of social engagements?  No. Does it interfere with my physical fitness?  No, I can play it on the stationary bike. Does it result in laziness?  Yes. Do I sense a lack of discovery?  Yes, I've basically done everything in this game. Does it improve my relationships?  No. Am I experiencing a renewed interest in other things?  Yes, music and school and such. Has my intensity been redirected?  Yes, I want to become better at musical stuff. Do I now have more lifelong goals than short term?  Yes. Do I need more time to accomplish more things?  Yes. So it's time for me to retire from SM.  I will leave my website links active.  I will still exist on discord.  I will still be interested in any balance change discussions that come up.  But I think it's time for me to spread my wings and fly.

I'm opening this thread to ask if the clan war glitch has been fixed.  It seems to happen only with A/B box levels.  UPDATE: some of my members say they got the A box, some got the B (like myself).  A previous report:
So I'm basically confirming it is a bug.  Today, 11/14/2022, my clan clearly won, yet we got the B box, even though it was advertising A box to the winner:

This is a screenshot BEFORE we finished our attacks:

"gradually gaining players they said" 

Some quit abruptly, most quit slowly. It's been a fun time with y'all and I enjoyed my time with you. 🫡

I'm going to say it right now:
If you're new to the game, defense matrix is a great deal for you if you don't have enough fortresses to run 3 mechs in full META mode.
I've gotten to R2 with 3 x defense matrix in 3v3 heat.
BUT if you don't need a defense matrix, this deal isn't the best for you.  In that case, save for fortress/quad/overload deals.

My opinion as 3 month arena level 10 player:
I've been using the base this whole time.
Last night, even if I shouldn't have done so, since I had 1,000,000 gold and all three factories crafting 99 common items (they're the most efficient to fuse), I clicked the button to pay 200 tokens to get all 99 from a factory, twice.
Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have done this, in hindsight.
But last night I myth'd two items and legendaried one this morning, allowing me to very rapidly upgrade some modules after I got Quad Core Booster.
When I wake up, I get gold and tons of items.
The last week or so I had reached an equillibrium where my gold was 1 million to 1.25 million all the time.  I'm on the $5/month subscription and I was farming the krap out of the campaigns.
It's technically slower, sure.  But it's the most efficient way I know to do things right now.
I say the newbie who simply wants the base can do things efficiently if they never upgrade their factories (until like a year later when they're rank 1-5) and focus on upgrading their gold mines.  But I have yet to be able to scientifically test this.
So for now, I like my base and don't see any reason to change it.  But I am also a newbie, so take that with a grain of salt.
Right now all three of my factories are still max'd out with 99 common items being built.  I'm happy with how quickly I can upgrade things.  I'm not going to press the "tokens to get the items right now" button again, but the option to do so if I get impatient (but I won't do it next time) is still nice to have once in a while.

Yeah in my opinion, with as much as that build option costs, and that it's a "CHANCE OF" legendary rather than a guaranteed legendary, it's not worth it, in my opinion.  Sure, grinding away and making your own legendaries takes longer, but it's technically more efficient as far as gold is concerned (but not your time).
