all the one's i've seen post on the boards, at any rate. it confuses and frightens me. i wouldn't think that being alt and photogenic would be a reliable marker for intelligence (either lacking it or having it), but i have yet to meet an SG who isn't worth reading.

I loved Nic's entries in her journals, she's also great to talk to in person.

Absolutely. FWIW, I also find the younger SGs all seem to be mature for their ages*, which I think is not a coincidence.
But if I were naming names, Flux and Fatality are the ones that come to mind right away and Salome, Annika, Dot, Brooklyn and Mneylu come to mind right after.
*I mentioned younger ones because once they get to be around 23 or so, most of their peers have caught up to them.
Well, I solved it, but I messed around for a few minutes going "what the fuck?" before I noticed there were English instructions at the bottom.
So I don't know where that leaves me, haha.
It leaves you ahead of me. I always get stuck on that damn thing. It's things like that that convince me, despite the testimony of others, that I'm not very bright after all - I'm just good at faking it.

There are different types of being clever, or smart or intelligent. Very few people are intelligent over all and many people have their specialities as well as their flaws.
I'm not saying everyone is intelligent, of course. However, just because your friends think you're bright but you aren't able to solve one puzzle doesn't mean they're mistaken!

Very true. Most people have at least one area of life or intellectual activity where they're weak.
*adds Cherry to list of smart SGs*
Let's just assume that most SGs are smart, even if they don't have an advanced degree, until they prove otherwise.
