Well, being a military buff has nothing to do with being a tactician. In a more general sense, it just means that you prefer to see the optimum use of resources available, gaining maximum benefit with minimal loss.
What kind of gamer are you?

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Me: Great, so now I have Satan in my computer. Like XP wasn't problematic enough.

Uh, isn't that called a power gamer? I see a tactician more as someone who tries to plan out the strategies and tactics the group uses in combat more than a min/maxer. Though in a way, tactics are a min/maxing of your actions.
This technique of RPG playing has been passed down the Bloodmooon line for generations!

Perhaps so, but we both managed to boost our post count by agreeing in different words, didn't we?

I would like to propose the motion that this topic would be pinned for future reference by both regular users and newcomers.
The most worthless line of any RPG book EVER:
"Though these two kinds of devils wield terrible powers, they have different characteristics and appearances."

I suppose it makes sense... I have a tendancy to play my characters role even when it slows down or hinders the game. I've also apparently scared someone from over-acting... Okay, many people, but most of those were outside of a gaming context, so it doesn't count!

And on the retake!
You scored as Storyteller.
You're more inclined toward the role playing side of the equation and less interested in numbers or experience points. You're quick to compromise if you can help move the story forward, and get bored when the game slows down for a long planning session. You want to play out a story that moves like it's orchestrated by a skilled novelist or film director.

Little different than my last one, but seems close enough.
