This is some sort of \"academic\" research on mudders.

It introducts four basic types of players, explorers, socialisers, killers
and achievers. First three are quite easy to guess but the achiver is what
I would call a minmaxer. So from now on we all should be known as achivers
not minmaxers and this should be achivermud. Don\'t you agree that is
sounds much nicer.

Oh there is also a test for this division, this is also in the links part
in www.bat.org, and seems that 250+ people from bat has taken it.

According to it I was SEA(socialiser,explorer,achiver) so the test mush
suck.
