Change

You didn't give enough information to find just one word. So you expected someone to submit one word out of the thousands of possible answers and for them to hope that it's the right one? [quote name='Seigheart' timestamp='1357858938' post='130156'] [left][size=3][font=arial]The winner will get either a game from steam or something in-game.[/font][/size][color=#141414][color=#141414][font=Georgia,][/quote][/font][/color][/color][/left] [left]I took this to mean a roundabout way of saying he'd give something in-game, and that something could be a flower (or if he [i]really[/i] wanted to be popular, a PM). Apparently the quest was harder than the rules, but from what the rules were, it was easy. He could have also said that 'the winner will either get an elephant or everything or a chicken or something in-game' and it would have been true.[/left] [left]Time to think up another quest.[/left]

Edit: Top ten wishes? I wish I had requested more things then. >.< Back to deciding. Okay, yeah, I'm officially confused. Are we voting for the top ten wishes, or the top ten people? If it's top ten wishes, then if I wanted to grant both of Rumi's wishes, it would take two votes?

Happy Birthday

Tipu wins! The others must be punished for either not liking anime or not fearing it being banned. Tipu, contact me if you want a two day, ad-free anime pass.

MP8 was more of a symbolic request based on my request being a massive system Change. Anyways, thanks for telling me how crazy I am at Fenths Press, Chewett. See, my request was 'reasonable', I thought, given what it gives me vs. everybody. But I will change it soon so that it's more reasonable (and easier to code).

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1358457019' post='130839'] OMG! This has made my day! Are you sure you know what you're asking for? [/quote] Change? So, I have your vote then? Also, edited that bit. I only said perhaps because I don't want my entire request to be invalidated if MP8 is too buggy (like MP7). But if I can have it..

Saved my previous crazy request for later. New one, to have a spell with 8 casts called Butterfly of Chaos that will turn the caster into a Butterfly of Chaos. If this request is granted, I will work more on what being a being of Change, that is, a Butterfly of Chaos, means. For now, this will be a normal illusion. I'm going to try and request an avatar for said illusion too. And again, I will be editing this request continuously (I'm just not sure when the 7 days ends exactly)

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday!

Losing it implies that one already has it, so how would one gain what they already have? Also, define soul.

I used a physical dictionary and I found one in two seconds. And I love perl.

That's common though! I may just keep on editing my pm to you with words (I love using this dictionary. )

In case it's not pmed, mine is libel (I've also sent you a pm containing others. Thus is fun!). I'm using 'The Origins of English Words' by Joseph T. Shipley, which is a great dictionary by the way. Edit: No b? Then change it to fanam, though I don't think that the b interrupts it.

These thoughts only appear contradictory in that you call the first system balanced, and the other system unbalanced because of entropy. I think that the second system of feelings or emotions described is also timeless. The idea of a realm of thoughts/feelings/spirits, call it what you will, is not a new one of course. It's been called the astral plane, the ethereal plane, the spirit world, the mental plane, etc. In such paradigms there's often one such plane, which is paired with the physical realm/plane. In others there are several planes. In quite a few of these paradigms, these non-physical realms are considered to be 'higher' realms, in that they influence the physical plane from the top down. That is, what happens on those planes 'leaks down' to the physical plane. This could be an effect of entropy. These spirit realms and such are sometimes considered to be timeless, or at least, time is easily moved through. [center]~[/center] If we assume that both thoughts are referring to the same thing, then they are complimentary to each other in that sense. For instance, in the second note, the feelings that don't align with the ones leaked into the present could be assumed to vanish, just like in the first note. Thus, both notes could be describing the exact same thing as understood in the exact same way. Or, the second note could be an updated version of the first, with corrections. I know that I've often written something down, forgot about it for a moment and let my subconscious think on it, and then come back to write an edited version/new version of my first thought. You may in fact be 'losing your mind', in a sense. While you don't describe what you study as magic (from what I've read), aspects of it have been called magic by others. If you use your understanding of the world to influence it, then you are practicing magic, especially if you're using understandings that aren't common knowledge. Obviously it's not magic since it's reality, however magic is a convenient term. Anyone who tries to understand and utilize the inner workings of reality is an Occult Arts Practitioner, that is, a Practitioner of Hidden Arts. It's commonly accepted among occult arts practitioners that anyone who starts a journey to understand reality (whether as a philosopher or a magician) will lose their mind, multiple times over. However, this comes with the territory. What matters most, in my opinion, is being able to keep on living, thinking, and persuing ones goals. Finding what you're discovering harder and harder to understand, doesn't mean that you're losing your mind. All discoveries lead to more questions, and something that you thought simple and easy to understand before might become complex because of what you know now. I've personally 'lost my mind' by thinking about reality on more than one occassion. I need to think more on the two notes in question, but hopefully this general advice was helpful. Like attracts like is a common principle in many paradigms. By creating magicduel, you've attracted certain groups of people. Magicduel is a game, therefore you've attracted gamers who will enjoy it as a game. Magicduel is also more than just a game to you, and quite a few others. By creating magicduel, I think you're trying to ideally show your paradigm of reality in an interactive form. Thus, apart from gamers, you've attracted philosophers, those from the social sciences, writers, artists, occultists, wizards, witches, and more. On a seperate, but related note: You're an artist among other things. Artists are always super-critical of their own work. I've considered many things written by others to be works of genius when compared to mine (especially for more mundane things such as stories). However, when other people comment on my writing and art, they think of it as way better than I did. Of course there's the possibility of considering everything created by oneself to be a work of genius that no one else can achieve, but that's extremely rare. Although grinding shouldn't be necessary in games, it is necessary in real life, though it's usually a lot more interesting. Thus keep on creating art, keep on thinking and writing of your thoughts of reality, no matter how bad you think of what you produce. There will be many roadblocks, but the important thing is to not give up permanently. It's not the end of the world if you give up on something for awhile, and then come back to it, however consistency is rewarded, as you of course know and practice. I'm not even going to bother editing this. It's taken a great amount of will to stop writing. Writing and thinking like this feels effortless when I can write one word each second, so I could almost literally go on forever. Hope this has made some sense to others, and especially you, Mur.

Happy days of birth and mirth!

Of a laser bear melting an igloo, eh?

The transparent highlighter darkens brown to black, and you like to switch browsers after 30 minutes? It [i]would[/i] be easier to remove yellow. Point taken. Also, you have lots of cake.

Because she's implying that she killed you, or that she used bucket fill? Just a guess. Okay, scratch that. She's implying that she killed you, or she's showing off her pixel art (I suck at editing pictures so I wouldn't know).
