    Else reacted to Ivorak in Value of Wishpoint Discussion   
    The wishpoints page isn't very clear and is kinda contradictory, but it does state that "Wishpoints are reviewd from time to time and if you received wishpoints without a good reason they will be canceled. Wishpoints can not be canceled or taken back by the rpc that gave them."

    Personally not in favor of a quest solution involving minimal effort being rewarded a wishpoint just because it was the first to meet the requirements of the quest. There's room for interpretation here, but as this devalues wishpoints this is not just between MaGoHi and I.

    Would be useful to have a bit more clarity on what is not a good reason for receiving a wishpoint.
     
    Edit: Sorry, Fyrd, didn't mean to derail a thread for a ongoing quest. Probably should have started a new topic here.

    p.p.s. It has come to my attention there was some grousing about this award.  MaGoHi had an inspired genius of an idea, eventually met all the requirements of the challenge, got political support for his idea from other players, and provided some serious entertainment on an otherwise dead day in the realm.  If that's not worth a wishpoint, I don't know what is.  I could hardly deny him a wp since he met the rules - THAT would be favoritism.  If you don't like the attitude his RPing portrays that's between you and him.

    You know, I am inspired. After following your clear and concise directions, I made my own elemental egg! However, in honour of Aia, I decided to make it a coloured elemental.

    I'd suggest Ladah claim Necrovion's throne, which is empty and quite comfy if you don't mind cobwebs.
    There's even a clickie for that, and I'm happy to show him the exact location... ☠️

    More likely to contract the holder of such object to do the hit, than to get them to release their precious.....

    This is to confirm that @Elyssia has provided a correct solution to this puzzle, with indeed an elegant thought-pattern to accompany it, and so, has received a wish-point and mine spell-document.

    Well, I will just drop my priority list:P  Hopefully it will make this more orderly.
    (number one is my highest priority, should it be claimed I move to priority number two, three, etc..)

    Else has messaged me first and chosen the 6th Anniversary Aramor.
    This still leaves a 9th Anniversary Aramor for either Chewett or Fyrd Argentus to claim.

    When I was young (yeah, I am not young anymore ) I was shy and not confident in my abilities. I was afraid to take credit for what I did and others, somehow, always seemed to be better, smarter, more succesful. Through a number of very tough challenges, challenges that were close to break me completely, I learned something new. I learned- I can do (almost) anything. Only limitations I have are those in my head - my thoughts, my rules, my beliefs. Some - set by myself, others - planted in by culture, family, friends etc. This realization gave a feeling of being (almost) superhuman. And, oh dear, I abused this feeling! For many years it carried me around, allowed me to do things I (and people around me) never thought possible. Until one day I realized how tired I actually am. Being driven by my mission, realizing that I have many possibilities I fought as if there was no tomorrow. Until I stopped. The "almost" of being an "almost huperhuman" got back at me and hit me hard. It took time and effort to realize that boundaries, that I so carelessly get rid of years ago, were not only limiting my actility. At the same time they were protecting me from destroying myself. I also realized that people love superheroes, because with a superhero around they can lean back and do nothing.
    So now I am trying to find a healthy balance between my possibilities and limits, which in itself presents a big challenge. Setting boundaries to myself feels like limiting my freedom, feels like failing. It takes a lot of mental and physical work to say NO, to get some rest instead of go head over heels to be able to stripe away another item off my endless to-do list. Still I force myself to do it, because only when I am healthy and sane I can function, be happy and make people around me happy.
                                                                 Sincerely,  not-so-superhuman Eara

    I grew up in a very toxic family environment, which resulted in a serious inferiority complex, among other things. After I grew up and started working, I have noticed that I'm simply... doing better than the people who were criticizing me all my life, and the people I was compared to all my life. And not even by a small margin. Shockingly, it wasn't even that hard. And, I'm just getting started...
    After some years, the people criticizing me started to die off, or wrecked their own lives in various ways. The cousins I was "competing" with are all living underwhelming lives, and I hardly meet them anymore. It's as if their opinions never mattered in the first place. 
    Basically what I learned is that you shouldn't define yourself based on what others think. Though this can be hard when you are still a child and don't have any point of reference apart from your immediate environment. You define what you can and can't achieve. Since most people are not actors, but only reactors to outside events, you can make an awful lot of change in the world just by putting some effort in it every day.

    I learned to choose wisely what challenges to face and what challenges to just leave alone cause they will disappear sooner or later. I learned I should not quit, if a challenge becomes too hard. And I learned that time is the most important thing to consider when trying to overcome a challenge. Time heals wounds, time makes things harder sometimes, time changes people and time will, one day, overcome us all.
    And another thing I learned from that particular challenge is that people normally don't change to the better. Because changing to the better is a very very hard thing to do, no matter what one is beeing told by the media or other people: changing to the better is a really hard and long process.

    I learned that people have behaviour patterns, that lead to situations they can never get out, or are doomed to repeat over and over. These patterns are rooted deep in their past, sometimes its not even them that caused the reason for their patters, but it was their anchesters. 
    I discovered this about others, just to realize my patters later. Its very hard to see something about your own self, because you have to face a truth you can't admit. It is much easier to see it on others.
    The challenge was to be able to think truthfully enough about myself, to notice these patters and admit them, understand them. Its one thing to realize them once, and an other thing to live with the awareness of them constantly.
    If you think fast about something that might be a pattern in your existance, its easy to come up with several answers, but thats just the internal defence telling you things you can accept thinking, its not always the truth. 
    Its easy to think of your flaws like "I am too good to people that hurt me"...or this kind of miss europa kind of shit, but its really really hard to think of yourself as "i am too chicken to change my partner, so i imagine that i like him/her"..or "i'm just plain ugly, not a special kind of beauty" kind of things, without imediately finding justification for the bad things.
    I won't detail my 'things', ofc these are personal, but they are there, like in anybody else... and most of the time its a constant challenge to be honest with yourself.
     
    What i could tell others about this, is that you should consider this a constant journey. You build something, in yourself, and every time you are honest with yourself you add an other brick. The real challange is that most of the time you realize that this construction started long ago, before you decided to be honest with yourself, and now you have to deal with design elements you can no longer change. From this point forward, its a lot one could say..but its offtopic here

    On one hand, challenges make me think [almost] everything is possible.
    With enough force of will and perseverance, there are very few things one can't accomplish.
     
    On the other hand, every challenge I faced taught me I'd never feel truly content.
    That twinkle of satisfaction is soon clouded by a bigger challenge or, better put, the real one.
    Great, you passed this tough exam, in 2 weeks you have this other one, which is the real badass. Oh, hey you got a degree, now good luck getting a job. Awesome, you quit smoking, stopped eating meat, what about dairy products?
    Is there even an end, a point?
     
    I learnt to approach challenges a bit like the horizon. You advance one step, it gets one step away. It  makes you advance, which is great. At the same time, it's not meant to be reached, so take it easy.
