Pack, Herd, Pride or Lone

TheCatWoman

I think humans often fall into the above groups, I'm definately a lone operator, although I will get into a pride with close friends and family, before going my own way again.

I think packs are often more aggressive and predatory, herds more passive and prides comprise small groups of relatives and friends who might live together but will also allow member the freedom to go thier own way when they needs too.

Which are you?

  • Loner for the most part. Sometimes I’ll join in on a pride, either for practical reasons (projects, work etc.), opportunistic ones (carpool etc.) or when engaging in group activities with my closest friends.

    I thought we'd all be lone's with prides we dip in and out of, I think its a very autistic thing. I think a lot of NT's want us to be in herds whereas they want to be the pack watching over and directing us.

    I used to love playing D&D, for some reasons minotaurs were always South African! I've not played for years and years, I think theres quite a long waiting list to into a game in many areas. Taught my son to play and he still does some 30 years later, I used to take him to games workshop on a saturday morning and leave him there whilst my daughter and I went shopping. I'd go back and find him backed into a corner by about 6 other kids who played together and have to tell him how to beat them. The staff loved me, even though I rarely spent any money in there.

    That’s awesome that you used to play D&D, I bet you were a blast to play with lol. I’m sorry that it doesn’t sound like you have a group to play with. I’m lucky I have a handful of guys that understand when I lock up during a botched improvisation or forget how to roll for crits. Maybe we should have an NAS D&D group lol Joy

    I think a lot of women see D&D as a male thing, one of my friends, years ago, said she and another friend had played it, but stopped because they didn't think having to kill things was "nice"!!!??!!! I just thought WTF, I think this says a lot, I'm not sure what, but I think theres a bit of social commentary and stuff about social expectations in there.

    I don't play computer games, I never learned how to use the controls, but I did watch and try and get involved a bit, but I got put off when the computer started taking over and doing more stuff for you, it seemed like a loss of control and a loss of everything i liked about D&D.
