    -  Interaction with other PCs
    -  Character development in terms of personality and history
    -  Intrigue
    -  Discovery (exploration, experimentation, and related activities)
    -  Interaction with NPCs

After this point it gets hazy, more or less.  I'm much more interested in
watching my character Grow and Change than solving neat puzzles, overall.

    -  Very Easy: PCs can overcome most challenges if they aren't stupid.
    -  Easy: PCs can overcome most challenges by thinking a bit.
    -  Moderate: PCs must be pretty sharp in order to meet challenges.

This is a range: I tend to like most things at the Easy level, but the 
occasional real challenge is appreciated.

I might be one of those people, but from a historical perspective I can't
argue anything.  In simpler words: nothing's going to bother me.

	Very Minimal to Minimal.

    - Minimal: History and details are there if needed, but can be thrown out.

This is mostly laziness on my part.  Having details is *neat*, but I despise
having to do heavy amounts of research to RP.  I'll always be looking over
my shoulder to see if I'm screwing up; this is work, not fun.

Somewhat sporadic: I will occasionally flake for a few days.
