I would choose cynical, will give you a different outlook,
tho at times it may be too cynical, he will be looking for things maybe other people wouldnt, and give you opinions from a different stand point
This commando community has been neglected for a year.....I think its our right to take some cynicism into the sandbox 
Else..choose me, you know Id be a good tester!

I'd reccommend Soula if you are still accepting names. If not, go with the cynical one. I'd like to know the worst case scenario

I think you should pick the cynical one. It would make all us cynical people more likely to believe that good things are coming if the cynical person likes it.

Cynical will get you preped for the rest of us 
. Too much cynical in the group will just slow things down to much. So my vote would be to keep a good balance.

well, basing this on the assumtion that all the other testers are very posotive, it might be a good idea to put a devils advocate in the group.

I would suggest cynical. Take a critical eye view of what is being presented.
And I'm quite cynical btw.

Most of us are, I think.
Hell, how can we not be cynical after all the nerfs and crap?

OK...I've made my decission on the new Sandbox tester to replace Daker...The decission was EXTREMELY hard...I went back through my list of alternates and picked the top 2...From there I reviewed their past posts, their know of the profession and our issues, as well as their original applications to be Sandbox testers...
Both my choices came out pretty much even on all aspects...So then I went back to the reason I originally picked Daker...I picked him because he opinion often conflicted with my own and others in the forum and for the fact that he always had an air of mistrust in the Dev plans (or lack of) for our profession...
Again, both my choices would take on this role very well...
So finally I just based it on forum post count and when they signed up for the forums (it was that or flip a coin)...Because of this, one candidate came out ahead by a very narrow margin...and with that I announce my selection....drum roll please....
Skeptic666 is our new Sandbox tester...
I believe his dedication to Commandos and knowledge of our profession and it's issues will be an asset to us on the Sandbox...And his skeptical view of the Devs, the CU, and other aspects will help to give us all another viewpoint of the CU's impact on Commandos...In otherwords, if the CU can convert a skeptic, maybe other skeptics will find reasons to believe...But if Skeptic666 doesn't like what he sees, he will also bring that to our attention as well...
Anyway...just wanted to give you all a heads up on my selection...I still have my list of alternates if any other slots open up AND I'm pushing to let the Correspondents have some say in who makes it into the first round of Beta testers on the Sandbox...If I get my way, I have a list of about 20 alternate Commando Sandbox testers I'd like to see in there first round...
