who's playing this game?
J. M. Pescado:
Yes, well, I'm an old man. My wrists aren't really quite up to that sort of thing anymore. And besides, when it comes to me, using Macrotastics, that's essentially nearly as good as me playing the game myself. When YOU use it, on the other hand, it's more like having me play parts of your game for you. Is this a good thing? Am I more awesome than you? You decide.
Ardin Topani:
Of course you are more awesome than me, but then my game would be easier and therefore, less fun for me. ;)
J. M. Pescado:
I'm not sure if that qualifies as "easier" as opposed to merely "less tedious". I mean, you can do all that crap yourself if you want. There's sort of a difference between "difficulty" and "frustration" here.

As far as psychological types are concerned (labels, who needs labels?) Jung explains it best:
There are eight personality types based on the interactions of the attitudes and the functions.
I thought there were sixteen? And it's funny you should mention this, since I was thinking of it while reading the thread, but I was cowed by the "labels" comment. It's my guess that introverts are highly represented among players, and maybe people who, like me, enjoy figuring out the system and how to get around the difficulties. I haven't downloaded Macrotastics, since half the fun for me is the time management aspect of the game. I have a set of conditions, a desired end result, and I have to solve how to get there within the limitations. FUN!
J. M. Pescado:
Well, in my case, the time-management problem is double-edged: My objective is to maximize the ratio of sim-time to my-time, without reducing the efficiency of sim-time. Doing manually makes it a waste of my time, since I end up making the exact same decision as Macrotastics. Once you master the entire sim-management aspect, it will quickly become tedious, repetitive, and wrist-strain-inducing with all the tiresome clicking.
