As a gamer, on a scale of 0 (none) to 10 (maximum), how would you rate your level of ambition?

Bunkermeister Supporting Member of TMP29 Apr 2017 9:27 p.m. PST

10

I am building the wargame collection I always wanted.

Progress reports on my blog every day. 18,000 photos so far.

I am not ambitious, but I have Hope.

Texas Jack30 Apr 2017 2:03 a.m. PST

I would put my ambition at 7, but my ambition scale may not be calibrated to yours!

Porthos30 Apr 2017 2:36 a.m. PST

10. I am with you all the way, Mike ! Although not so much as a gamer, more as a collector. And unfortunately I am not too good with modern media, so a blog is beyond my abilities…
Collecting is like a jigsaw puzzle: one finds new pieces regularly without any idea about the total number of pieces (which, I feel, is in fact infinite :-))))

Ambitious 10, ability 2, perseverance 1, funds 0

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP30 Apr 2017 6:58 a.m. PST

Separating work from minis, I would say 6 (all in)

rustymusket30 Apr 2017 7:06 a.m. PST

Much less so in my old age. Just looking for fun things in my interest areas and things to keep my brain going.

Ambition 10, Execution 1D6+4 :D

4. As I've got older my ambition has been tempered by realism, not in my models but by what I can hope to achieve.

wrgmr130 Apr 2017 7:32 a.m. PST

Depends on the project. Overall 8.

Ambitious about what? Gaming is a broad topic.


Lots of things in wargaming I am not interested in, so I'm not particularly ambitious. Of course, by definition, I am very ambitious about the parts that I am very interested in.

Recently played the hell out of a couple of scenarios that have a lot of pseudo random hidden information, thus many options. Trying to get a reasonable survey of the performance space … is that ambitious?

Gonsalvo30 Apr 2017 8:54 a.m. PST

Definitely a 10 when it comes to running games and painting and collecting figures!

rmaker30 Apr 2017 9:30 a.m. PST

7 or so.

vtsaogames30 Apr 2017 7:07 p.m. PST

5. Running out of space.

Personal logo piper909 Supporting Member of TMP30 Apr 2017 9:34 p.m. PST

Too much 8 or 9 for my own good.

I'm often told "that's a bit ambitious isn't it ?"

grin

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut01 May 2017 11:03 p.m. PST

I suffer from,motivational impairment, so my ambition always outstrips my effort.

COL Scott ret04 May 2017 1:18 a.m. PST

In life I have many passions wargaming is fun but at the low end. Some others hit higher.

my vote is Less than I would like to but about the right level for me.
