I am overthinking everything. All the time. Even this statement.. I rarely express my opinion to ppl I don't know very well, for numerous reasons. I am fine with both.
Sometimes I see something moving on the corner of my eye ..kind of scared to check it out.
I like to afk and watch people talk.
I am dating my Guild master's Daughter.
I like helping a complete stranger and observe how they react.
Lol at the scare thought. Normal for me too. I think it's more in the head than reality.Quote:

Are you for reals? What perks comes with dating the GM's daugther?
What's the best reaction you've gotten so far? *cough*
I secretly make random toons to 'test' guild members and see how they are to randoms. Helps me judge what kind of person they really are when not around their Guild Master, or a female. Helps me to also determine if they are trustworthy.
Or, I make a toon of the opposing faction, world pvp with them while dual logged and see what they have to say, how they react.
I once got promoted due that last thing you said :P I was playing on a private classic server (first wow experience i had) and I came across some "random" low level who needed help while i was with 2 guildies they said he could f. off while i was like sup? :P (later turned out to be the guild master xD)Quote:

Actually everybody should know it, but for some reason nobody wants to accept it and thus people prefer to see themselves as much more, as a whole..you know what nvm - it's all all in the head after all.
But hey, making fake toons to test other people's reaction is sick, you are a maniac so go find some help. (It depends on my mood how I will react when a noob asks me for help. I may help him A LOT or make him quit the server).
I hate this world.
It's not testing other people's reaction. It's testing those that I know, meaning guild members, online friends and such. Many people automatically change their personality once they hear or see someone of higher status. For instance, if someone was to meet Obama, they would spruce up, dress nicely and speak formally. It's more common than needed. Me being a Guild Master and a bit less than male, people tend to put on a face, looking for promotions, free items and things of those nature. Just would like to weave out the fakers and get to know the real people.Quote:

If someone is putting a face just because of your position, then you are doing it wrong. Be more friendlier with people and let them open up to your GM char.
Once you gain somebody's trust, you can see their true colors and choose to accept them or change them. Otherwise you will only hurt them!
P.S. People wear masks with strangers too, what is the point with creating new toons then?

You'll soon see someone's true colours and then it's up to you to decide what to do about it.
I can't say in all my years of being officer/GM of a few guild people have ever sucked up to me, normally they've been fairly honest and at time facepalm worthy but I'd rather have them being a bit dense to me than to try and be someone they're not. But again I'm not the time of power control freak like I've seen from a lot of guild leaders. End of the day you're here to have fun with friends, not to be seen as a superior.
Everything else aside but this here piece of bullcrap caught my attention. There's not a single thing in your body that you have ANY control off (other than when you're gonna take a **** or a piss and even with that, you'll lose control eventually), far from having an absolute control over your organs... Or I don't know, maybe you got your hands on that blue drug thingy from the movie Lucy and now you're in total control of your organs, telling them how, what and when to do? Or it's all in your head? Please restrain yourselves from writting BS like this in order to make yourselves look smarter. Cause you just look and sound even more stupid and ignorant than you did before...Quote:

You say I'm doing it wrong when they immediately before they even talk to me, they are either intimidated or being extra generous. And if you knew me, you'd be like 90% of my friends, family, guild members, saying I'm too friendly and to giving.

Or maybe that's what you have studied during your medical lectures? Your brain (you) has no control over your body and can't utilize the information coming from various senses (or even external sensors). Magic, yeah ofc you are so right - the organs CAN work on their own (Actually THEY CAN, but I will not explain why, it's related with the body's metabolic processes).
Before you try to troll in such lame 2007 style, can I ask what is your definition of "absolute control" regarded to my previous post?
I wasn't trolling. And I understood quite well what you wanted to say but the problem is, there's no connection to the subject you were on and claiming that you're in full control of your body. Your whole body works automatically, you have close to zero control on what's going on inside and the way it works. Saying you have "absolute control" over ANYthing is an "absolute" overstatement. Can you tell tell your kidneys how and what to filter? Can you tell your stomach to wait with digesting food? I could go on like this with every vital part of your body until tomorrow but let me put it in one simple sentence; you don't even have control over your penis...Quote:

You are fundamentally right that I can't reprogram other organs and I can't change their function straight away. It's not possible to ask the cells to grow bigger or die (actually in some cases...you can kill your cells just by thinking). Then again you are wrong on the most important layer by saying that the body works automatically. Your point of view is that you are (or at least use) the consciousness and can choose what to control and how, my point of view is that you are just that one important organ which controls:Quote:

If I use my consciousness to a healthy extend I can even alter my Skeletal System knowingly, by sitting infront the PC in an abnormal position.
Then again if I use that very power of mine to think I can do anything, even stop some organs from functioning (by physical means ofc).
The Urinary System is pretty easy to control so I can choose when to pee, but the Cardiovascular System is another story.
There are reports about humans who can lower their pulse during meditation and proper breathing techniques, yet nobody can stop their heart "at will" - that very consciousness part you relate with the full control of the body. You've watched too much Lucy it seems. The Autonomic nervous system is actually not as automatic as you think, because the brain controls it - patients in brain death state can't use it.
You have the means and can rip off your body and alter the fluids in your kidneys tho, but that would be cheating, right?
Absolute control: There will always be limitations, but such are not set by my brain itself. As far as it's known, the brain is the only body entity which controls everything happening with it. Since the kidneys and stomach don't work without somebody telling them to (place some food inside stomach fluids and it will melt lol "automatically", "not" by bacteria living in the juice, which the brain does not control directly...but can keep in check by changing the environment).
By absolute control I never meant the possibility to alter what is not meant to be without foreign interaction. Yet it is possible to some extend by pills (pills actually mess up the brain functions), operations (mess up the physical layer of the organs) etc etc.
For example - there are farms for cows who never eat, but without a brain's control functions, there won't be any stomach juice produced and the stomach will actually "wait" even tho it's full of food. If the brain tells them to grow a second head, they won't. (Too much Lucy ._.)
My point is, I never write bullcrap, if you can't handle other people's opinion because you have some straight and unshaken ideals, don't act as if you know more than everybody else and can freely judge what is right, what is wrong and what is BS. Your behavior is arrogant, yet another thing your brain has control over. There is a saying tho - the truths can emerge in a discussion but there are always two sides of the coin. Your so called "automatic functions" are still under control by the brain based on neuron signaling.
And that's exactly the part you have no control of. Your brain does all the job for you. Automatically.
And abot the Lucy comments, it's you who sounds like he saw too much of it, with your "absolute control" BS. I called it, you keep twisting my words and trying to come out of it but it all comes down to this:
There's no other side of the coin in this statement. Absolute means freaking aboslute. You gave an analogy, you used a term, both of which had no sense or meaningful connection to what Auryia said. And no wall'o'text is gonna change that.Quote:

Why would you think I intended it to be related to what Auryia said? Your stupidity amuses me. I told you that you never got it lol.
The second paragraph had nothing to do with Auryia, but with the topic. The third paragraph was a twisted monologue after the second holding sacrastic elements. The forth paragraph was a question to Auryia, in case she wants to add something I had to offer her the chance. Your narrow way of thinking is so absurd, I feel like I have to explain everything to a child. Take offense here if you won't get it even if I try to explain so what's the point in trying?
P.S.Saying this you proved that you never even got it. (Because you didn't read the previous sentence).Quote:
