That's easy. We kill each other and see who emerges victorious. Then the whole thing ends with a village win.

Pack Wolf
You scored 70 pack mentality, 26 body strength, and 66 mental strength!
You'd make an okay pack wolf, but you wouldn't be much help to your fellow wolves. Still, you'd live because of your outstanding ability to deal with stress.

Hmmm. Not that flattering, is it? Oh well, lovely picture at the beginning...

EDIT: Fascinatingly my mother, a self-effacing, inoffensive woman, was a Pack Leader with a better score than any of you...

You'd make an excellent wolf. You would be able to control the pack in an effective way while being able to bring down prey easily. Your headstrength will also make you an effective alpha wolf.
Gee...the Barrow-downs is chock-full of leaders.

I'm starting to think the quiz had only two options... maybe we should expand on it! (or at least, those who know how to make one of those quizes should )

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

I took the test at lunchtime and was a Pack leader with pretty good stats but due to "going off on one" elsewhere had no time to post the result. I retook the test using the alternate answers on the couple of questions I had hummed and haaed over and the result ? A Pack wolf with ABSOLUTELY ZERO MENTAL STRENGTH!! 0%, nothing, nada.... I mean I had a fairly dismal afternoon at work but it was a bit shattering to decline during the course of the afternoon to such an extent that my nutritional requirements are now limited to water and Baby Bio

This thread seems to be packed with only alpha-wolves, ready to bully everyone else down...

I guess that might have been the number, how much more you had those points than the average tester...

Nah, Mith is a leader with 110% Mental Ablity.

It listed me under Pack Leader also (with 84% body strength). I might be a rough-tough-and-tumble Texan, but I don't like operating anything heavier than a shopping cart, usually. ; )

Or we just enslave any pack wolves and live in Rivendell.

Well, I've started on a quiz, but I need some input- what avriables are important in a game of Werewolf, and for what roles?

I can test up to four variables (but that's really complicated), so what should be in there? Cunning? Intellect? What adjective describes the ability to stay unsuspected? Or avoid getting lynched? What about decding who to dream of, or protect, or kill?

Opinions?

Well, matters of thought process such as intuition vs. logic should be addressed in some way. Also, the tendency to remain quiet or be outspoken. Sneaky vs. bold. Team mentality vs. lonerism. Bloodlust vs. a peace-loving villager mentality.

Oops, I guess I should have said something. I started one also, but quickly ran out of relavent questions (for only playing two games, thats still... optimistic). I had Cunning, Debating ablity, and Covertness as the varibles, though it kind of gets complicated figuring out if a wolf has to be more covert compared to a seer. Theres a lot of opinion there, in my opinion. *hooks thumbs on suspender straps*

I'm a pack member. Totally average in every way.

52 mental strength? I'm sorry but how did you judge that? I feel somewhat offended.
