Creative Cheating:
The ability to think up, and utilize, new and ingenious ways of cheating
at, mostly exams, but this skill can be applied to pretty much anything.
Drive vehicle:
The ability to swerve recklessly, from one side of the road to another, without flipping into oncoming traffic.
:
Geeking:
The ability to talk about your chosen field of employment or special
interest without boring those around you shitless. Also a measure of how
up to date you are on new events in that field and peculiar bits of
trivia from its history.
:
Language Foreign:
The ability to gibber incoherently at people from another country and
culture and make them think you are a moron. For each level you have in
this skill you may pick one language to speak badly. If you take two
picks in a given language the locals might actually be able to stop
sniggering long enough to understand you.
Some examples are: Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Esperanto, French,
German, Greek, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
Language Programming:
The ability to enter one of many cryptic and arcane languages into a
computer, change what you wrote slightly, swear, change what you wrote
again, swear louder, change stuff some more and by doing so get a
computer to do things that no one else quite comprehends.
For each level you have in Language Programming you may pick two
languages that you know.
Some examples are: Assembly, BASIC, C, C++,
COBOL, Fortran, HTML, Java, Pascal, Perl, Python, and Visual Basic.
