EarthySun

If anyone's been on Fsm's chat, no more needs to be said. Needless to say, stress is pretty major.

I started playing Runescape in late 2003. My first account was amazingly fun to play. Everything in the game was new and exciting to me. However, after a long break from Runescape, I found that none of my old friends logged on anymore. I looked at my old clan's website and found it devoid of anyone and everyone. However, I did find out that one of my old friends kept playing, but on a new account called 'Sunny Earth'. I added him, but apparently he hadn't added me. I was lucky enough go be fishing in Catherby, and I said hello, and we talked. His new account was a skiller (an idea that sounded like it would fit me) and, with my surprising lack of old friends and new experiences on Runescape, I decided to reroll under a new parodying moniker: Earthy Sun. Combat had never been my particular specialty, and I much preferred training noncombat skills to hitting away at monsters.

I just had a great conversation with someone from Ireland. :) [hide=Convo <3]Connecting to server... Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on. You're now chatting with a random stranger.

Please find something more interesting to talk about! You: You are alone in a dark hallway. There are doors on your left and your right. What do you do? Stranger: i don't like darkness Stranger: so i will look for a lamp You: You search around the hallway, looking all around, but can't find anything to brighten your surroundings. Stranger: well, i will take the left door You: You arrive at the left door. Stranger: oh you're a [bleep]ing bot... You: Choose. You: :D Stranger: choose what Stranger: I arrived You: Choose to open one of the doors. Stranger: but now? Stranger: the [bleep]ing left door You: You open the left door and entrler the kitchen. It has not been used for some time, yet the smell of blood fills the air. Possibly from a roast. Stranger: well, the kitchen has not been used for a long time Stranger: what about the roast? You: You smell the scent of gas in the air, and see that the stove is open. Examine stove? Stranger: no, before i ask a question to god Stranger: wtf a im doing here Stranger: but then yes Stranger: examine stove You: You open the oven. There is nothing inside but a small pool of blood on the bottom tray. Stranger: i see examine stove Stranger: not to open the oven You: ... You: You look on the stovetop and see that there is a pot of something cooking on a burner. You: It smells sickeningly sweet. Stranger: so the kitchen has not been used for sometime Stranger: and right now is something cooking on a burner Stranger: wtf? Stranger: then return about the small pool of blood You: It looks like someone was in a hurry, but was interrupted in cooking their meal. Stranger: what can i do with the vlood You: You open the oven and re-examine the small pool of blood in the tray. It is a dark red, and looks not too old. You: Perhaps you should look around at the other kitchen facilities? Stranger: then i'm dead Stranger: yes i think so You: There is a sink, a pantry and a countertop in the kitchen. You: A fridge hums idly by while you look around the room. Stranger: what about looking the fridge You: You walk over the fridge and see that there is a rusty lock keeping it closed. You: Do you want to try and pick the lock? Stranger: yes of course You: You take out a small safety pin that you have kept in your pocket and try to pick the lock. A good few minutes goes by, but alas, your skills are to no avail. You: You end up taking off your shoe and bashing the lock off of the fridge. Stranger: so Stranger: what can I see? You: You stare at the unlocked fridge in front of you, contemplating whether or not to open it. After all, you might not like what you see. Stranger: oh i see Stranger: what i saw? You: You must either open the fridge or turn back and examine other kitchen facilities. Stranger: open the [bleep]ing fridge Stranger: oh stupid bot Stranger: ^^ You: You open the fridge, and a blast of cold air and rotten scent envelopes you. You see more blood, bits of skin and strands of long brown hair. However, no full body parts are kept inside. You: It looks as though it was cleaned out in a hurry. Stranger: so Stranger: i was in the saw movies decorates? You: Turning away from the fridge, you wonder what else is hiding in this kitchen of horrors. You turn to face the rest of the room and think about where to go next. Stranger: seriously Stranger: it remembers me about a game Stranger: i think it's the same You: You contemplate going back to elementary school English class. After all, you don't just think about suspicious clues; you're a complicated person. Stranger: my english is bad i know [bleep]ing bot Stranger: but this [bleep]ing "game" Stranger: is a [bleep]ing copy Stranger: or don't? You: Hyt? Stranger: hyt? You: You look around the room, but for the first time, your eyes are fixated on the ceiling. Staring back at you in big, bold font are the letters "HYT". Perhaps they are somebody's initials. Stranger: then you're a bot You: *beeps* Stranger: yes or don't You: You have been eaten by a grue.[/hide]

My first chat didn't go so well. [hide=First convo]Connecting to server... Edited out.[/hide]

I started playing Runescape in late 2003. My first account was amazingly fun to play. Everything in the game was new and exciting to me. However, after a long break from Runescape, I found that none of my old friends logged on anymore. I looked at my old clan's website and found it devoid of anyone and everyone. However, I did find out that one of my old friends kept playing, but on a new account called 'Sunny Earth'. I added him, but apparently he hadn't added me. I was lucky enough go be fishing in Catherby, and I said hello, and we talked. His new account was a skiller (an idea that sounded like it would fit me) and, with my surprising lack of old friends and new experiences on Runescape, I decided to reroll under a new parodying moniker: Earthy Sun. Combat had never been my particular specialty, and I much preferred training noncombat skills to hitting away at monsters. I'm not a skiller to act like I'm better than any other player in the game; I play as a skiller for sheer relaxation and having the game played my way. If other people don't like that, it's fine with me, but I can't stand it when others act high-and-mighty to the part of the player-base that doesn't appeal to them.

You do that when you're listening to music too? O_o

People actually cry because of stress. When you cry, stress is released through tears (I used to know exactly how this worked, but now I kind of forget, sorry :S). If you work out, or run, or exercise you'll release stress. Stress can take form in other ways, such as anger (believe me, I know, I've punched a few holes in walls).

Plato > Socrates Aristotle < Socrates < Plato.

Even if we assume the research is true, the point isn't that after 10,000 hours you suddenly master something - as you said learning is a gradual process and different for everyone. There was also some info in an article I read about this that those who've done 10,000 hours of something are those considered phenomenal at it, 8,000 is enough to be far better than average and 6,000 or so to teach it. Can't find the article atm, it's hidden somewhere under a massive pile of newspaper cuttings in my room, might dig it up later. Found this on the internet though.

' First off, you're barely at the tip of the iceburg (puberty-wise) and aren't as mature as you think. Right now you're dealing with some tough times in dealing with yourself and problems around you, and all the extra hormones aren't helping. I'm fifteen, and I know what you're going through because I've been there (however, I didn't cry about it... no offense). : Men can't cry because it shows unsturdiness. If you allow yourself to break down and cry about something, then you don't have a handle on the situation and are allowing it to have power over you. Men are expected to have power, and stay in control of themselves and the things that oppose them.

Without actually reading the book this statement pops out. If they only interviewed people for who the 10k hour rule worked and did not take a random sample of people then the book is completly biased and not scientific at all. Very well spotted. :thumbup: Have you had any formal training in statistics/science by any chance? I suppose you could read the book, and I was just giving an example. It also talks about things related to their successes, such as amazing luck. However, they couldn't have been successful without ten thousand hours in one particular field.

It has to be one specific skill that you can improve at. I don't think being psychic counts, though. :wall:

Actually, that's just not true. Read the book, and you'll understand. :\ I tried to explain it the best I could.

It was shown that was shown that everyone learned a skill at the same pace. There weren't any people who practiced more but weren't as good as everyone else or people with fewer hours of practice who got better than everyone else.

Recently, I read the book 'Outliers' by Malcolm Gladwell. The book talks about successes, situations, and the extraordinary amount of blood, sweat and tears that you put into success. A particular thing caught my eye in the second chapter: the 'Ten Thousand Hour Rule'. It states that it takes ten thousand hours of practice to achieve mastery of one subject, be it playing a musical instrument, a sport, or programming a computer. Multiple successful people were interviewed, and results of the interviews (and of much testing) has shown that the Ten Thousand Hour Rule is true. It was shown that was shown that everyone learned a skill at the same pace. There weren't any people who practiced more but weren't as good as everyone else or people with fewer hours of practice who got better than everyone else. My question is this: If you could immediately gain those ten thousand hours practice (and enormous amount of time) in one particular subject instantly, what would you choose? Personally, I would choose either violin, the cello, or piano for my skill. Those instruments sound beautiful to me, and after all, Classical music is my first love.

I would take all the pep pills I could hassle off of truckers, and be scared to death of sleeping. Anyways, in reality I would probably just cry forever, then sit in my room staring at the ceiling and thinking about my life and my ambitions and how I've affected those around me.

You'll pay for this, Ask.

My original character I made at nine years old. "Werewolf327" I used from 2003-2008. His name came from scary stories and movies (I'm a real horror lover), and I originally tried to make his name "Vampire327" or "Vampire32794"... there's also a "Werewolf32794" somewhere, which was the first character I created (but I forgot the password before I could log in first, and so Werewolf327 was born). "Earthy Sun" I created as a joke on my friend. I knew him on Werewolf327, but he re-rolled as a skiller called "Sunny Earth". I decided to create a skiller too, but to make his name a parody of my friend's.

There're no Spanish worlds, right? D: Because that'd help me with Spanish too. I mostly play in English... though when the German worlds came out, I learned loads of German in two days. Of course, now I've lost all of that, so English it is. That's Portuguese. If anything, it will only mess up your knowledge of Spanish. :P I think I'm going to start playing in French worlds more often. Believe me, I know. Everyone around me in my old town spoke Brazilian Portuguese... there were street signs in Portuguese, and ghetto Brazilian kids would mostly socialize with each other. One of my friends was Brazilian and we once had a very long conversation about the differences between Portuguese and Spanish.

All numbers one through five are Keeley Hazell. Anyone who's been on Fsm's chat will know what I'm talking about.

Yeah, that last thing takes up about half the space in my think-tank. The universe just has to wait.
