(70 – 80 points) ROUNDTABLE READY: King Arthur has a seat ready for you at his roundtable! Your fine manners, insights on love, and respectful fighting skills make you a wonderful individual. You likely have many suitors and will make a great name for yourself throughout the kingdom.
(50 – 69 points) AMATEUR ARTHUR: You are on your way to becoming a respected knight. You know the basics of love and are likely a skilled fighter. A few more years of courting and several quests later and perhaps you will be as great a knight as Sir Lancelot himself! (Just be sure to remember that the queen is off limits).
(20 – 49 points) NOT KNIGHT-WORTHY: According to the codes of chivalry and courtly love of Arthurian times, you are a goon. Your ideas and actions directly oppose those practiced by knights and fair ladies in the Medieval ages. If you’re not having much luck in the love department, perhaps review good manners to brush up your game. If you’re content with your behavior though, no worries. Hundreds of years have passed since Arthur ruled, after all.
