[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 376242, member: 2358"] Um, it isn't THAT powerful. I have a 150 IQ, and if you don't know what questions to ask because of lack of background information IN THE GAME, even the most intelligent people in the world aren't gonna know what to to. Remember, metagame thinking is not allowed. At least it's not supposed to be. Curb it and your problem is solved. ANYONE can get lucky with that spell, it ain't got nothing to do with Intelligence. By the way, I don't think you'll need to worry about players with 150+ IQ anyway considering that accounts for only 1%-2% of the population of the country. (I was in the 99th percentile on the scoring.) Heck I even got a 99 on the ASVAB test for the military, which is the best score you can get, and it still don't help my gaming at all. Hell, I know someone with far less IQ than me is a MUCH better gamer. Gaming is a skill, not academic. If anything, it's the other way around, and gaming makes you smarter. More thought is put into gaming than into academic nonsense a majority of people never use in their life, such as Trigonometry and Biology. Or how about Ancient History? There's something that'll get you far in the real world . . . I could go on with some RIDICULOUS college class I heard of that some colleges are teaching, such as "Cultural History of Rap", "Ecofeminism", "Cultural Socialism of Star Trek", and "Seeing Queerly" (you heard it right), all of which are utterly useless in reality, but I won't get into a political debate here . . . Nah, gaming requires much more thought and makes you smarter. Anyway, 150 IQ is the top "normal" level for people anyway. Higher than that, you're considered a GENIUS. (I know ONE person with an IQ of about 200, and that's it.) So I doubt you'll be getting an entire GROUP of 150 IQ players. Don't sweat it. [/QUOTE]
