So, it often comes up in discussions of games, how one player seems to be a little more, or less destructive, or maybe the whole team is different than what the gm is expecting. So, in creating a new play by post game on RPOL.net, I thought it would be good to try to quantify this issue. And so I ask, where do you live, on the mohawk?

Some may find it a useful addition to your recruiting tools. Others may find the definitions at least slightly humorous. Others, may want to have me locked up in an asylum. If you do, please get me a place with wifi.

CODE
<10-----9-----8-----7----6-----5------4-------3------2-----1>


Some definitions:

10=dude, my mohawk is soo pink, 12 year old girls swoon over me!


8=Yea, i've got a mohawk, but it's closer to "light red" then "pink"


5= Whatever color gets the job done


3=I prefer a more practical hair style that doesnt draw so much attention

1=Mohawk? what mohawk? you dont even know what I look like, let alone what my hair style, or color it is.


For those not familar (since everyone's been around SR a while, i'm guessing we all know) the "mohawks" are players that believe the answer to every solution is guns, bullets, and bigger guns. With a few explosions. These are the 10's on the scale above.

Conversely, Trenchcoats are people who believe any run with a fired shot is a failed one. These are the number 1's on the scale above. Obviously these are two VERY different play styles, the sort of average out, for most, around a number 5. So I ask YOU, so I know the type of game you're expecting, where you live, on the 'hawk.
