Well.....

Humility: But since I'm sincerely myself humble, I can't say why I consider humble, nor can I mention the other virtues that I adhere to so as not to be vain and un-humble.

Humility doesn't mean that you can't say good things about yourself. You can be humble and still tell the truth about yourself. In fact, a statement like that I'd say is bordering on being unhumble.

Actually, some of the questions at char creation in Ultimas had questions with nearly my answer where you do a good deed and not make a big deal of it. In another case, you let someone else take credit for your good deeds, etc. But ok, then, here it goes:

- Honesty would dictate that I be forthcoming with everything...
- Humility would dictate that I not boast...
- Valor would dictate that I go for it...
- Compassion would dictate that I say sweet things to my girlfriends and not just on Valentine's day Wink
- Justice would dictate that I get all the credit that's due to me...
- Spirituality would dictate that I stay faithful to my beliefs.
- Honor would dictate that I be and act honorably in respect to my parents, duties, promises, and that's what I do. Pleased
- Sacrifice would dictate that I forsake all glory for the sake of a humble life without looking for glory. Cool

Not sure about the Justice one... Seems a little too self-related


Anyway, the truly humble thing to do would be to not have posted at all, rather than post to show your humility saying you're being humble :p

And the questions at the start of the Ultimas aren't exactly wonderful. I mean, anyone who follows most of the Honour questions has problems :p

There you go, you've proven my point and I was right in not posting my deeds, thus, my ruse worked!!

The Justice one was indeed selfish, that was the joke. Big Grin

Yeah, to be honest I don't think most of the gypsy questions were any good or virtuous for that matter. Having to choose between virtues, some of which were in the wrong context and were evil for that matter, was a terrible design decision. Plus, the system was too rudimentary and you eliminated virtues that you might like simply because they were forced into the wrong situation.

Although, I can't believe no one took my bait on the girlfriendS one!! Red Face
