the road is nice

sick read by JD

hmmmmm... road....

that's a freaky word man

I enjoyed this book but I can't imagine it's going to make an atheist suddenly doubt their philosophical views.

I'm sad that I haven't had time to properly read more than like 2 pages of this thread but it's pretty amazing. And it's pretty exciting about the trip to Scotland.

Send Mojo to Atak imo

yes, I said start by reading that book

my school has a whole curriculum you know.....

Oh sweet. What's next? I am ready for the Dustin school of particle physics as well.

One way or round trip?

I have not had a chance to comment, but I think this is the best well that we have had.

round trip, unfortunately

and I agree, though I might be biased slightly

will have to think about this

it might be The Holographic Universe, but I'm not sure

Something that tries to further bridge the mind/matter gap though

I think I read a bit of that. I take it your trying to work towards a sort of scientific acceptance of subjective experience, or inter-subjective experience? I'm kind of on that train, in a sense.

I would *sooo* like to be on a wolf team with atak someday. It still bugs me that I was a neutral with atak and bigger in LOTR but I didn't get to chat with them because I was "lost" and by the time I joined the team they were dead.

I was definitely guilty of this. I never even thought about it until my last game--a vanilla 21er where you were one of the seers and I was a wolf. What amazed me in that game was that even though, by day 4, neither seer had peeked any wolf, it village could lock it up, not by peeking a wolf, but by peeking a villager. And that the correct wolf play wasn't to NK the seers, but to NK a villager. So the game ended with none of the wolves being peeked, but conceding anyway because a sufficient number of villagers had been peeked to make the game a lock.

I just never knew such a scenario was possible.

this pogga is teh awesome imo

I would have thought the fact that bridge involves playing with a partner whereas chess is played individually explains the majority of it. Funny, because going from what little i know of you (and this well) i would associate you much more with the chess playing people i have met than the bridge playing people.

Um, yeah, that's pretty clear.

And if you read this whole well you'll realize just how big a deal it was for me.

My first game!

Tbh, I always try to figure out all the numbers: how manhy villagers do we need to mislynch, who are those villagers going to be etc etc. I could still improve on alot of the technicalities though.

I both resent the implication that I have not read all of your well and admit to it.

I've read a lot of it, but there's this "atakdog" guy who keeps writing essays. F that.

Based on the answers itt, you seem to have a phenomenally high level of self confidence in your analytical abilities/perception, and yet a similarly high level of introspection. Do you have any self doubt? Is that a good thing or a bad thing in WW? In the real world?

I get somewhat annoyed at people being bad at the game, but mostly I can move beyond that. It is unacceptable to be mad at someone for not being better at something than he is.

The most annoyed I've been by far was at OrangeRake, starting in the Playboy game I linked earlier. NOt because she got it wrong, but because I thiought had she tried she would have gotten it right. I blew up at her the next time we played, because for the first few days of the game she was joking around in the thread but was quite open about the fact that she wasn't going to bother trying until it got to end game, and would not ever read the whole thread. I viewed this as unacceptable, in a a team game.

To be very, very clear: my blowup was not acceptable. Feeling anger was human; letting it out was antisocial. I should have been banned (temporarily imo) for it.

I wasn't talking about you at all. It was clear that you had (I thought); I was using your comment as a springboard to emphasize the importance of what has happened to me in the last 48 hours, and in particular of one person's generosity.

Sorry it wasn't clear.

Apologies again — I have go take my tax final (early, because of the trip).

Worry not: I will answer all questions.
