SMEN, how many players?

@A.B. Nile: oh, completely light-hearted, that should go without saying. It’s a game, after all. As to your hypothetical, it creates a difficulty in that it presupposes a &quotmain/most important&quot account. But for those for whom alts are equally precious, there is no such &quotmain/most important&quot account, any more than, say, a parent with more than one child would be able to pick a &quotmain/most important&quot one. As a gedankenexperiment, it suffers from the fallacy of false dilemma.
I agree that the majority of players do not see the question this way, which is possibly why few people can become truly successful actors. If one feels &quotapart&quot from his role, then he will never be able to give it the same attention or conviction as he would when he is immersed in it. (Note, however, that there is another theory of acting which contradicts this)

I deliberately distributed my big goals between my four characters equally to avoid the whole throw-away alt feel. My Seeker has a Boneless Consort, 746 completed Deep Blue Heaven Expeditions, 50 of each novel/poem from the Empress’ Court, an Übergoat (though all but my main have that one), and I’m planning on having him write a Classic Story once I’m done with the Expeditions. He’s accomplished quite a bit that would sting to lose.
