True, true. Still, I want an excuse to make the Aldryami our Ancient Allies. Uz is overdone, and we don't even cook dem! :)

Any excuse to hate someone, after all. Orlanthi as skinheads-cum-soccer-hooligans, anyone? I know Jeff Kyer will approve... "Oi, mush! Let's go kick some pommie Black Oak arse!" :)

Twisted... I like the implied attitude. The answers have roughly the same degree of return, however, at least within a given question. There are no incorrect answers... each gives one of several equally valid end results.

The questions I planned to excise were those such as Ancient Enemies and Ancient Allies which do not impact the calculations, so it is not much of an issue. Duplicate questions which give a result more oriented toward the roleplaying end of things ("Know Aldryami Greeting" versus Ancient Allies: Elves, for example) can just be popped out without impacting the profile as a whole.
