It turns out that most people in UT are both the Alpha and the Omega. Exploration in UT is finding the most currently undetectable aimbot addons and 'sploit points in any given map before anyone else does.

"Next time, let the safety off". If you've got one of the robotic skins, you even get to say these things in a robotic voice. But still, there's the same facilities in UT for chat as there are in your typical MMO, only its much harder to find the time to use it... what with the constant shooting and dodging and so forth. Voice comms support has also improved quite a bit, making it possible to coordinate using Ventrillo or TeamSpeak, or even control bots. So, I can almost see socializing, but I've no idea what exploring you're meant to be doing in UT...

After the text describing my profile there's a "find out more" button that told me that most players who have my profile are avid Unreal Tournament players. Sure, I've played quite a bit of UT, but how does one socialize in UT? Waving robotically? Expressive flack cannon technique? It’s kind of strange.

For those interested: AKSE players like to be the best-of-the-best at everything the game has to offer. They like to be high on the ladders of whatever metrics the game uses, including PVP. They like the best gear, the most power, and they love being the 'first' at something. Their prowess in PVP is generally supported by a large degree of understanding and posession of the best equipment and skills. Breakdown: Achiever 60.00%, Explorer 40.00%, Killer 60.00%, Socializer 40.00% So it appears I’m an AKSE… which seems about right, yet the questions really only apply for MMOs of which i’ve only played…Guild wars and nothing else!
