This is something I've always wondered and I believe it applies mostly to new users. |

I don't think that people should know how much info xp (or other type of xp) they get just by looking at their stats before they post (or any other action) and after - that would remove too much mystery and lead to people having specific knowledge on how to get a 'perfect stat'. |

I agree with DeadlySin, I don't think we should have access to the original stats to see where we are weakest/strongest. However with that being said, I would like to hear if it would be possible to at least refer back somewhere to what answer set you're on. Maybe something in your profile stating you are vision or stealth or wack answers, just so that you know what to tell your leader. And by profile, I mean the profile you view to edit, not your public profile. |

I see no reason why a user shouldn't be able to look at the specific answers they gave, however they shouldn't have access to any knowledge of what these answers actual mean in terms of ability for their character. |

We dont have start up answers recorded, so if this were to ever be implemented, it would only work for new accounts created after that point. |

I agree wholeheartedly that one of the best things about this game is the mystery and the fact that you do have to figure some stuff out on your own over time. So, as the concept of being able to view stats might compromise that, I think that part of the idea can be scrapped. |

Love the rp part you incorporated with the background check! Would love to actually see that as like the personal you get with maybe a link to your profile where you can view the info or maybe an entirely separate page! This has my support! |

start up answers should be available if someone doesn't record them maybe in profile, but no details or xp/stat gains in my mind |

We need to get rid of the set answers the whole world knows |

Didn't the new dice-rolling system change that, OldMan? As it's random there are no guarantees anymore. |

I think what OldMan means is get rid of the answers you can choose from and only use the dice roll. Could be wrong though. |

I don't see a real need for this now the dice roll system is in place, if players want to see their stats so they can tell their leader then they should sign up using the dice roll and take notes or a print screen of their stats. |

PC-Flash-Fire, the original issue that I was trying to address would still exist in that case. As I said before, what about brand new users coming into the game who don't know how much impact that dice roll has on their character? Are they likely to simply 'suicide/retire' in order to sign up again and sit repeatedly clicking for the best possible roll of the dice? Kinda makes just getting started with the game a whole lot of hassle. It isn't particularly easy to patiently click over and over again as the dice roll is completely random - you can't be guaranteed the skillset you want. Moreover, new users simply won't know what this skillset means until they get into gameplay and discover the full context. |

The stats on the dice roll are pretty obvious, so they'll know what they are choosing. Also as a first time player they are not expected to reach the top, all games have things you need to learn as you. |

Of course - there is a fine line to tread in terms of compromising the learning curve that comes with the game. If anything, it's precisely that learning curve that keeps me coming back. So, I definitely see where you're coming from. |
