| Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

|  Yet Another Test: Machiavellianism
The following test is pretty old (1999) but "measures" your level of Machiavellianism - which the masses would call "your level of evil" as Machiavelli's work has been distorted. http://www.salon.com/books/it/1999/0...est/index.html
I scored a humbling 85 (You are a high Mach, you endorse Machiavelli's opinions).
I expected a little more, but hey - I don't work for the government.

70 as well... Though that's hardly a comprehensive test to determine quite how Machiavellian someone is. | | | | |

49, I reject! *thumbs through some of his Philosophy notes* Ah... here's what I'm looking for: "The reason he wrote what he did was so he could be on the nice-side of the Medici family after they over-threw the Council of Ten, and arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and set him in the countryside." *sets a copied section of his notes nearby.* Niccolo Di Bernardo Dei Machiavelli (1469 – 1527) born when Lorenzo De Medici assumes power in Florence; after Lorenzo's death, the Council of Ten assumes power; at age 29 Machiavelli works as Secretary to the Court for 14 years; 1512, republic overthrown, Medici family reassumes power; Machiavelli arrestes, imprisoned, tortured, and released to the countryside; begins writing with hopes of finding favor with Medici family; dies 1527 During lifetime: many political upheavals; religious corruption; complicated shifts in power; leads to pondering of some kind of enduring political order The Prince: set of prescriptions for successful management of state through procurement of power; power is good and should be sought and enjoyed, same for fame, reputation, and honor; ruthlessness may be exercised to achieve a desired end; a Prince should not worry if he is criticized for being cruel as long as subjects remain united and loyal; “It is far better to be feared than loved if you cannot be both.”; generality of people are simple and are easily deceived; “It is better to seem good than to be good.” = “Machiavellian” Sorry for the breaking of some of the fun.

Is that 'cause you left all answers at a three, or did you make an even split?

Well, I gave more exact answers on my opinions and lowered my score two points.
I found that snswering down the middle generates a score of sixty.
