Scoring
- Under 5: Unless your score is so low because of taking off points at the end, you may need to spice it up a little. Just don't add any points from the Play Style section.
- 5 - 20: Congratulations, this is the score to shoot for.
- 21 – 30: You need to think about toning it down a tad. Perhaps that all powerful item gets destroyed or lost... Perhaps they lose the connection to the god that was giving them all that power... Perhaps you adjust your play style to be a little more courteous and accessible to others. Just think about it.
- 31 - 50 Sorry, but chances are, you're either you're playing a cliche, an overpowered character without enough flaws, or you just plain play selfishly. You need to give some thought about why you feel the need to be the center of attention, avoid connecting with other players, or make it so no one stands a chance against your godlike character.
- Over 50: You're a raging noob. Reroll please.
