Rationals are the problem solving temperament, particularly if the problem has to do with the many complex systems that make up the world around us. Rationals might tackle problems in organic systems such as plants and animals, or in mechanical systems such as railroads and computers, or in social systems such as families and companies and governments. But whatever systems fire their curiosity, Rationals will analyze them to understand how they work, so they can figure out how to make them work better.

In working with problems, Rationals try to find solutions that have application in the real world, but they are even more interested in the abstract concepts involved, the fundamental principles or natural laws that underlie the particular case. And they are completely pragmatic about their ways and means of achieving their ends. Rationals don't care about being politically correct. They are interested in the most efficient solutions possible, and will listen to anyone who has something useful to teach them, while disregarding any authority or customary procedure that wastes time and resources.

Rationals have an insatiable hunger to accomplish their goals and will work tirelessly on any project they have set their mind to. They are rigorously logical and fiercely independent in their thinking--are indeed skeptical of all ideas, even their own--and they believe they can overcome any obstacle with their will power. Often they are seen as cold and distant, but this is really the absorbed concentration they give to whatever problem they're working on. Whether designing a skyscraper or an experiment, developing a theory or a prototype technology, building an aircraft, a corporation, or a strategic alliance, Rationals value intelligence, in themselves and others, and they pride themselves on the ingenuity they bring to their problem solving.

Rationals are very scarce, comprising as little as 5
to 10 percent of the population. But because of their drive to unlock
the secrets of nature, and to develop new technologies, they have done much to shape our world.

Your Rational Type is Mastermind (INTJ).

Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition, it is the contingency planning or entailment organizing role that reaches the highest development in Masterminds. Entailing or contingency planning is not an informative activity, rather it is a directive one in which the planner tells others what to do and in what order to do it. As the organizing capabilities the Masterminds increase so does their inclination to take charge of whatever is going on.

It is in their abilities that Masterminds differ from the other Rationals, while in most of their attitudes they are just like the others. However there is one attitude that sets them apart from other Rationals: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them; indeed, they can hardly rest until they have things settled, decided, and set. They are the people who are able to formulate coherent and comprehensive contingency plans, hence contingency organizers or "entailers."

To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they
will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.

INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.

INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project. Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. On the other hand, they do tend to be scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice.

In the broadest terms, what INTJs "do" tends to be what they "know". Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia). INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality.

Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations.

This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many Fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a romantic relationship, the INTJ will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness.

Probably the strongest INTJ assets in the interpersonal area are their intuitive abilities and their willingness to "work at" a relationship. Although as Ts they do not always have the kind of natural empathy that many Fs do, the Intuitive function can often act as a good substitute by synthesizing the probable meanings behind such things as tone of voice, turn of phrase, and facial expression. This ability can then be honed and directed by consistent, repeated efforts to understand and support those they care about, and those relationships which ultimately do become established with an INTJ tend to be characterized by their robustness, stability, and good communications.

INTJs are idea people. Anything is possible; everything is negotiable. Whatever the outer circumstances, INTJs are ever perceiving inner pattern-forms and using real-world materials to operationalize them. Others may see what is and wonder why; INTJs see what might be and say "Why not?!" Paradoxes, antinomies, and other contradictory phenomena aptly express these intuitors' amusement at those whom they feel may be taking a particular view of reality too seriously. INTJs enjoy developing unique solutions to complex problems.

Thinking in this auxiliary role is a workhorse. Closure is the payoff for efforts expended. Evaluation begs diagnosis; product drives process. As they come to light, Thinking tends, protects, affirms and directs iNtuition's offspring, full
equipping them for fulfilling and useful lives. A faithful pedagogue, Thinking argues not so much on its own behalf, but in defense of its charges. And through this process these impressionable ideas take on the likeness of their master.

Feeling has a modest inner room, two doors down from the Most Imminent iNtuition. It doesn't get out much, but lends its influence on behalf of causes which are Good and Worthy and Humane. We may catch a glimpse of it in the unspoken attitude of good will, or the gracious smile or nod. Some question the existence of Feeling in this type, yet its
unseen balance to Thinking is a cardinal dimension in the full measure of the INTJ's soul.

Sensing serves with a good will, or not at all. As other inferior functions, it has only a rudimentary awareness of context, amount or degree. Thus INTJs sweat the details or, at times, omit them. "I've made up my mind, don't confuse me with the facts" could well have been said by an INTJ on a mission. Sensing's extraverted attitude is evident in this type's  bent to savor sensations rather than to merely categorize them. Indiscretions of indulgence are likely an expression of the unconscious vengeance of the inferior.

It's time to party like it's 1234567890 – 'cause it is! On this Friday, Feb 13 at exactly 3:31:30 PM (PST), Unix time (WTH is Unix time?) will equal '1234567890'.

Blindoldfreak is a side project from Alessandro Cortini (ex Nine Inch Nails). Unlike his other project Modwheelmood, which is mostly guitar driven, this is more experimental, coming near exclusively from a Buchla 200e synth. The songs are mostly droning instrumental soundscapes. It's oddly fascinating that such a range of emotions can be driven out of what seems at first to just be noise.

The first EP, "1" is up for listening on Last.fm:

1. blindoldfreak - Wake Up
2. blindoldfreak - Smile
3. blindoldfreak - Pipe One
4. blindoldfreak - Make Friends
5. blindoldfreak - Laugh
6. blindoldfreak - Everything Ends Here

My favorite track on this album is definitely "Everything Ends Here." Other demos that weren't on the EP:

Open up "feedbag.dat" in MXO's root directory in a hex editor or notepad. It'll have your whole buddy list in there

Decided to finally make one of these... stuff's sequential from then to now.

It's been almost three years since I originally posted this topic. It's time to, at the least, organize this thread somewhat, to provide the structure that's been lacking as well as to give a sort of overview for new players. Okay.

What are useropts? Essentially, they are state variables that modify how your game runs, which you define in a text file in your game's installation folder (typically C:\Program Files\Monolith Productions\The Matrix Online\useropts.cfg). Two notes about this file: It does not exist at first. To use useropts, you must create it. Second, don't let the "CFG" extension fool you. It is essentially a .txt file, just renamed as CFG. Lots of things are possible with useropts. You can modify your graphics to make them crisp and sparkly, or on lower end machines you can push the client to run as efficiently as possible. Basic UI modifications, defining camera and effects behavior, customizing how you see the world, and all sorts of things.

The number of useropts has always relatively remained the same, but apart from a choice few parameters given to players through autoexec.cfg, options.cfg, or Rarebit's posts, most remained unknown. I did a bit of exploration back in the day and found a slew of commands. I've released some of them, and am glad to see that many of the things posted in this thread have caught on and benefited the community's MXO experience... such as the now near-universal GreenTint RGB tweak, HackView, ShowTitleInName, et cetera.

Note: Not _all_ the parameters listed in this thread work. For a lot of the primary, very very old posts, I was just finding these settings, and had not tested many yet. Regardless, the settings exist, so I list. Some settings, like say, ones that would change the texture of weather particles (it's snowing FM-1500s?) are set to admin-only. Normal clients cannot use them. Player feedback should be a decent indicator of if something works or not, unless the command in question is some obscure setting, like the chat system's max buffer size before flush.

For those new to useropts, here is a starter useropts file with basic options. All but the first two lines are disabled. Remove the # in front of a command to turn it on. The procedure for using useropts (at basic levels, anyhow), is to set up your useropts file as you want it, save it, and then open the MXO client. With this method, you cannot change useropts settings while you are ingame. Try not to modify your advanced video options when ingame - some useropts will be modified by the automatic load of options.cfg (or the auto_#_#) settings, so you may need to relog to get your settings back. Play around with it and see what results modifying the parameters yield, then have fun testing all sorts of options
