 '''2.5.2) What type of games?'''

 '''2.5.4) Are you more interested in story or gameplay?'''
 Both. But I think that even the best gameplay gets boring without a good story.
 '''2.5.5) Have you played Wesnoth? If so, tell us roughly for how long and whether you lean towards single player or multiplayer.'''
 Yes. I first played the 1.6.4 release of wesnoth. I lean towards SP mostly due to connectivity problems.

You can also list patches that have been submitted but not committed yet and patches that have not been specifically written for GSoC.

-.6) Are you good at sorting useful criticisms from useless ones?
+If I'm familiar with what I'm doing, then I usually use the former approach. On the other hand if I'm trying my hand at something "new", then I prefer to prototype.
