As one of the people that voted for cunning as one trait, I feel like I have to speak up in my defense some. I wasn't interpreting cunning as intelligence; I was interpreting it either as the ability to quickly think out plausable and workable solutions in a pinch, or the ability to out-talk or out-smart a person... thinking of it more in the sense of a con artist rather than a rocket scientist.
With that said, though, I like playing intelligent characters since I like to stretch my mind after that. Like how I created an astrophysicist on OtherSpace after reading a couple books theoretical astrophysics (time travel, dimensions, etc). In that case, my vague knowledge from reading those books let me out-talk just about everyone so that I didn't have to venture into details I didn't know, or have some ability to fudge in a realistic, yet sci-fi, way.
Anyway... I've entirely forgotten my point. ####.
