Being able to recall what has happened in your own life is different than telling someone what might happen in theirs. It is also different from being able to guess someone's name correctly or a past event that happened to them. actually it being something to dowith ones mind and it being "supernatural" trait because it does not follow the natural order of things. what im saying is if such things are possible, which until just recently science would have said no, then why is it not possible that one man or woman at some time or another has been able to do what people use now as a means to make money and cheat the weak. I have stated I dont trust in the "commercial or conventional" psychic but if a definition fits a trait then it fits the conversation. I was only making my point till I was told that "facts" made my view invalid...so now where I was only stating I could not deny the possibility or plausibility, I now have to defend the idea that there are no facts to prove me absolutely ignorant of what I am saying. I stated to each his own opinion, and was told that there was no opinion, only fact. Yet, in truth, there are no certainties about man or his mind. Just limitations science sets and then has to say (we dont know) if something occurs but then tell us science says its ok to believe so now it is....but everybody who interacted with the person before the proof would have been considered false. Science falls just like faith, to mans imperfections. Your believe is an opinion....and what I believe is as well. I was only defending uncertainty, not the psychics themselves.

There is a difference between say Marilu Henner's ability to recall every single day of her life, which only 6 people including her can do in the entire world and someone claiming to know the future. psy·chicADJECTIVE 1. of human mind: relating to the human mind 2. outside scientific knowledge: outside the sphere of scientific knowledge 3. supposedly sensitive to supernatural forces: claiming, or believed to have, extraordinary sensitivity to nonphysical or supernatural forces 4. clairvoyant: able, or considered able, to perceive people's unexpressed thoughts or foresee the future ( informal ) so it does have to do with it and clairvoyance is not neccessary a claim of all psychic. so yea...

simple then...let me end this like i end convos with a good friend of mine whose a way more accurate skeptic then most.
can you prove to me...beyond any reasonable human doubt that the plausibility of one man to live or to have ever lived, has been able to do things that are not ordinary by any measure?
and if you can prove such a thing then I will concede to your "facts."
The truth is, I dont believe in the conventional commercial psychic and I know the tricks and a bit of the trade. But where I draw my line is to say that it is impossible for a man or woman to have an extraordianary ability at all. I'm not saying that there are thousands and millions of these people occuring but you can say with no data that person might have something that makes them "special."
Whether it be a super brain, super strength, and so forth. Let me state something a bit more active to people. Take Stan Lee's superhumans show. They find these random genetic anomalies that we dont see daily. And they exist all over the world and are so rare. So for one to say with such accuracy the falsehood of humanities ability to evolve as it grows or even to have odd ball cases, when we already know oddities(in a good way and bad) exist within our world.
quote to me your data and show me the numbers that say that this does not occur and all of us are all the same and no one in history has been something more or less the what we deem as "human."
Then like I said...you will win and I will concede to a life of just the facts that people put out there for me.

I respect points of view against it but to say that a card trick is what defines human potential is both foolish and a little reckless of a idea. For instance, there are people out there with genetic anomalies that act out in a physical way and some in a mental way. So if you look deep into the fact of how much of our potential we actually use, well the numbers are staggering. So if we use so little of our brain, whose to say that a genetic anomaly doesn't exist as other physical ones have and mental ones. I'm not saying that these people will read minds, bend spoons, or tell you your future. Most prolly wouldnt care to be labeled or known about because of the stigma of how people see them. You want science, ok psyphz.psych.wisc.edu/web/News/Meditation_Alters_Brain_WSJ_11-04.htmits not psychic ability or a genetic anomaly but a testament to human potential and the minds actual truths. we all have to believe what speaks to us and if all that speaks to you is your numbers and your hypothesis then so be it. I dont want to change anyones opinion, its not my place. I merely want to express the necessity in what most people view as "unproved data" when they themselves havent fully tested any of what they know or have read. but then again everyone is entitled to an opinion, no matter how wise, or uneducated a man or woman is and that's why I love human interaction and potential so much...just never know what were capable of. ;D

But have you experienced it for yourself? Or do you always listen to what everyone says? Not picking on ya just wondering I've never made astronomical observations to test whether the earth really does orbit the sun instead of vice versa. I suppose I should assume that is false as well until I personally prove it? skep·tic –noun 1. a person who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be factual. 2. a person who maintains a doubting attitude, as toward values, plans, statements, or the character of others. 3. a person who doubts the truth of a religion, esp. Christianity, or of important elements of it. its kind of his thing.....so yea he doesnt believe it lol My belief is there are people out there who can see things and do things that we think are abnormal. I also believe that these people do alot of good. With that said, I know alot of shysters exist in this world. People abuse actual things and in turn they flood in the idea that it has to be false. Sometimes I think a mind needs to expand into the spiritual and not spend so much time in the rational. Its ok to question things but some things in this world we do not understand everything about and this is one of them. All we have is lore and lies...what truth over the years has been flushed with the rest. Oh well though...it is just nature of humanity as we increase towards technological world and leaving the rest behind.

I don't see issues going on with Horror and E running the show. I've seen nothing that will say the awards will be rigged. Regardless, I'm calling for a mutiny. Mutiny. MUTINY! Im with Obo I cant believe I said that.

How about this? We continue doing the private votes, and when results come around do this: quote all of the PM's of all of the votes, post them in the results, and then put a final count at the bottom. This would solve E's issue of knowing who's giving who props and it would keep it private, which I believe is what the quiet majority want. I'll do that. That way you all see the votes, but it does remain anonomous and Rev can't accuse me of being untrustworthy of tallying a silly awards vote. I love you too Horror haha

For the record....I really dont care haha. I cant vote this year anyways because I havent been around. I just wanted to see how you would react.....got my wish.....
as for my vote....I like it private but it should be sent to a non owner but respected person such as Calvin. So he could tally fairly having no reason to lie.....but then again it should be stated how many votes each person got so they know if people named them at all. But eh like I said...i have no play in it

yeah I have to agree with luke here, the idea here is to help them learn and a 3 week deadline seems toooo long for someone trying to learn. They aren't trying to spill their guts into these rps, just understand the basics of how to do one, I can't see them needing anymore then one week to rp to be honest, 2 weeks at the max. Thats also just my personal opinion. I just figured...holidays people enjoy family things....and since its that season where most thing takes hiatus...i figured i would give some time so that people didnt complain about the holidays being the reason they couldnt rp...but if they all rp soon then it will get done quicker...just leaving it to the rpers in the time when family is important.

I don't get it, we're supposed to write about things around us? (us meaning our characters) It goes like this: Start off with a setting. Have a monologue, showcasing your character. Details of the actions your character is making as they are talking. More monologue. Repeat as much as needed until you feel you've gotten your point across. At least that's what I got from reading the two examples. yep, you got it...just basic promo rping

Special Note: Do not do any dialogue...this you cutting a promo and using scenery...you can use small talk npc but no actual ongoing convos with depth

Cheers to all, we have a card....we will see how it goes from here.ok, ok, to the basics. Classical Roleplaying (Efed Style) This is where I believe all rping begins and ends. Its where I started and where most started so, of course, let this be where we start. Since I believe in examples over instruction let us first go to the truest example of what I deem as classical rping. Alex Sean: 99 Problems wfigs.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wfwfrp&action=display&thread=197041Lawrence Cage: A Winners Shadow wfigs.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wfwfrp&action=display&thread=198137These are two prime examples of classical rping. Now that we have an idea here is the first lesson. I want to see everyone write a roleplay using classical format(ie: Description, promo, description...etc). You can be inventive and use your scenery both physically and metaphorically. Remember this isnt about winning as much a it is about learning. Enjoy yourself and be creative! Lesson Card #1: Classical RoleplayingDue by January 8th(For holidays and stuff) if we get them all before then, then great!, but its no rush. Johnny Albright vs. Ace Bennet Luke Collins vs. David Handlecatch Jason Jadoa vs. Jack Joseph
