Dwarf hypocrit
« on: December 11, 2014, 10:31:00 am »

I got a kid who's in a strange mood. When checking what the outcome would be when it failed, I saw in his profile that he "Is assertive to the point of aggression, unwilling to let others get a word in edgewise when he has something to say" but also "Is unable to make decisions without a great deal of input from others."

I dunno what you think, but that's rather hypocrit from my view.

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

Nonsense.  He's a sucker for peer pressure.

That's not necessarily hypocritical. He likes to dominate conversation but isn't a strong decision maker. Even if it was why wouldn't dwarves be as hypocritical as people can be? Descriptions often highlight two traits as being at odds with each other.

So he yells at people "give me ideas!" then says nothing while listening but doesn't hesitate to interrupt at first inkling of a question. No hypocrasy there.

Unable to form decisions on his own and therefore compensates by being forceful about the decisions other people chose for him ?

No.  Teenage angst and insecurity.  He does what he thinks other's expect of him.  A real dumb-Jocky kinda guy.  Or at least thats how I see him.
