I have a vote and I'm not afraid to use it!

"So yeah.

The STRONG count."

Just had to preserve this for all to see.

You know what else is strength, Wulf ?

Allies.
Don't believe me, go poke a fire ant nest, or a beehive.

Even Firefly lampshades it.
"When the mudders are together on a thing, there's too many of us."

Even Conan didn't go it alone when things got messy, he got him some backup, didn't he ?
Damn good thing he did, too!

Learn from that - I see what you're trying to say, mind - just that you should also include the ability to convince and recruit others right there within Will and Intellect as strengths.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

WULF: You might be interested to know that you're almost always quoting Nietzche, who believed that the will to power overruled all other drives. Curiously, for a man who believed so much in will, power and control ...

[He]resigned in 1879 because of health problems, which would plague him for most of his life. In 1889 he exhibited symptoms of insanity, living out his remaining years in the care of his mother and sister until his death in 1900.

So much for that.

When something defies your will, use direct force to make it obey - as resistance to your will escalates, esclate the force accordingly till something breaks.

This seems to be the primary American paradigm of problem solving, as is as asinine when applied to children as it is when applied to a mechanical problem.

When working on cars, we jokingly refer to it as "use a bigger hammer" theory. If the part won't budge, use a bigger hammer, until it does budge. Or until it breaks. Either one.

Let the wild rumpus start!
