I'm sorry, I'm not certain if I understand what you are asking.

This is found in his slides on the area of MMO's and Bartles' Four Player Types.

I don't know why you would feel exempt from Bartle's Categories...but I didn't mean to ostracize against anyone.

I am going to toss out a guess that the 'exempt' age was refering to was Canada. I know there is sensitivity to being lumped in with the US sometimes. I wonder if New Zealanders ever get bummed about being bundled up with the Australian market.

Not that I know of......a few years ago they wanted to become the 9th state/territory of Australia.....and a few weeks ago they wanted to drop the NZ$ and use the Aussie$.

Going by the descriptions I see myself as a Socializer/Explorer.
