Hi, and thank you for 8values.

First, a small apology: I'm Brazilian and my English isn't very good, so please forgive any awkward phrasing here. Also, a heads-up on how to reach me: I use **Codeberg** as my main repository and rarely check GitHub, so a message here on GitHub might sit unread for some time.

I'm building a single-player indie game called **GusWorld** (it's **freeware**: free, non-commercial, no ads, no paid content), and I used your quiz as the basis for an internal **game-design tool**: I ported the 70 questions, the per-axis scoring, and the 52-ideology table to a small Python script, purely to give fictional in-game characters (inspired by historical figures) a reproducible political-spectrum leaning that decides which kind of side-quest each character card gets.

A few things I want to be transparent about:

- **It's a faithful fork/port, credited under your MIT license.** The original questions and scoring math are unchanged; I kept your `LICENSE` verbatim and wrote an `ATTRIBUTION.md` that credits 8values as the source and lists exactly what GusWorld added on top (a `rightness` 0-1 scalar, a Python port, and a separate, clearly-labeled game-only weighted layer).
- **The weighted layer is game-only and does not modify your test.** It lives in a separate script and exists solely to encode how much each axis matters *inside the game's fictional world*. It is not presented as an improvement to 8values or as a statement about real-world politics.
- **It's a fiction project, not a political one.** Everything sits under a fiction disclaimer. To quote it directly: *"GusWorld is a work of fiction. [...] None of it is, or is intended to be read as, a factual, biographical or historical claim about the real person: not about what they actually believed, how they actually behaved, what their actual character or morality was, or how a rigorous historian, biographer or psychologist would assess them."*

**Repository (Codeberg):** https://codeberg.org/petrinhu/gusworld
**The port and attribution:** `docs/design/roster-analogos/8values-engine/`

If anything about the attribution or the way I've described 8values isn't to your liking, please let me know and I'll adjust it right away. Mostly I just wanted to say thanks: the quiz was a great, well-designed foundation to build a game mechanic on.

Best,
petrus (GusWorld)
