August 27, 201114 yr And the above is why that genre of game is generally really really bad. It's a REALLY big shaft.I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?
August 27, 201114 yr /me is in physical pain I finally finished a book I borrowed called Dancing with Max. It's a really good story, waaaaaaaaay better than my summer reading book. Now to work on A Game of Thrones and Drow Tales... I kinda wanna skip the prologue for DT, it's taking me forever to read it.
August 27, 201114 yr Lei... Drowtales is some 1,600 full pages long with daily updates. It will take a while to read. :thumbup: The prologue is notoriously dry and long-winded, though. Soon it starts to focus on individuals more rather an overhead view of city happenings. Feel free to just skim the prologue, try to remember faces and you can always go back if you need to. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

August 27, 201114 yr Okay nex. I'll try and get to it today and tomorrow during the "hurricane" that's supposed to come by (it's like a category 2 or one by now) Edit: THE HORROR!!!!!! The most scariest ride in Disney land was the "It's a Small World After All" I hate the song, I hate the ride and it was sooooooooo creepy! Sunday- only have Internet access untill the power goes away again.
August 28, 201114 yr I just realized that according to the theory of infinite universes, there are infinite universes in which every single one of us are killed by being stabbed in the face by a monkey wielding Cleopatra's severed third hand while dancing waltz with Elvis Presley in the fallout-contaminated streets of Monaco...That made me feel strange and relieved somehow...

August 29, 201114 yr Alright, I'm upset. There is no one available to instantly talk to, and I SERIOUSLY NEED some help understanding A Game Of Thrones. I can't go to my parents about it since they haven't read the book yet! :'(

It only means that everything could always have been worse. It also means that there are infinite universes in which we are currently getting laid. Twitter: @TheMather1
August 29, 201114 yr I'm sure for that reason alone it is a large theory around the scientific community.

August 29, 201114 yr Mask, I haven't even gotten past the prologue. I don't exactly understand how it is relevant to the whole story. My normal go-to person is probably still mad at me since I haven't gotten a reply to the email I sent to that person. It's not my fault females are cursed with a specific illness. And to make it worse, I'm fragging sick with a summer cold, AND my town, like many other towns, WAS HIT BY A HURRICANE! [hide=complaints about the summer]1. Has managed to piss off one of my closest friends MULTIPLE TIMES.2. Never really got to spend a day with my two closest friends (aka my "twin" sister and my boyfriend).3. Had to babysit all fragging summer, and I still haven't gotten payed!4. Computer got taken away because my brother and sister are pyroidiots. (using iPod[/hide] The only good thing that has happened this summer was when I got to see my boyfriend (he's on my schools cross country team apparently) for an hour. <_< I have a bloody week and a half before school starts.
August 29, 201114 yr Don't worry Lei, I haven't even talked to my best friends pretty much all Summer. You're not alone. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

August 29, 201114 yr /me is now reading more of A Game of Thrones. How hard is it to believe that Ive been sick for the past couple of days? Seriously, I've been sneezing my brains out, in pain, and I'm surrounded by neighbors that are cutting their lawns. I am allergic to freshly cut grass, which make my sneezes worse.

And to make it worse, I'm fragging sick with a summer cold, AND my town, like many other towns, WAS HIT BY A HURRICANE!The prologue shows the supernatural conflict of the series. Not only is winter coming, it's bringing zombies. It starts to get much more important about halfway through the first book, and you'll see more about it in all but the fourth.

It only means that everything could always have been worse. It also means that there are infinite universes in which we are currently getting laid. In an infinate number of universes you presented that better... Everything could be better, everything could be worse, everything could be the same, everything could be different. The area where it loses interest is when you consider that:TV shows also exist as real life in alternative universes.In others Falador Tavern is considered the holy scripture.In others still we are caught in an ever repeating cycle of the worst moment of our lives. Then you realise that you can imagine all of those things and infinate universe turns into a 'Meh'. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
August 29, 201114 yr everything could be the sameThat contradicts the theory, the theory is that there exists one universe for every minute difference that is possible as well as what is impossible in this universe. So there is only one universe in which everything is precisely like it currently is; this one, but there are infinite universes in which I just blew my head off with a pink nailgun and then regenerated it instantly.

August 29, 201114 yr If we accept the theory that everything could be different then we must also accept that everything could be the same, with the difference only occuring several millenia later when one atom pops out of existance for no explicable reason. The changes are not inherantly massive and easy to see...It could be that the difference between this universe and universe B is that I used universe Z as my example.Hundreds of billions of years leading up to that moment, and hundreds of billions of years leading away from that moment, all of them identical.(potentially, it could be that by using univere B I begin world war 3 and spontanously live in Japan and consider that normal...Or gain the accumulated memories of all people who have ever lived...or have infinate volts running through my body and survive unaffected...the point being that anything could happen and thus what could happen is nothing different) We can assume the change is time itself...There could be a universe that is exactly 1 second behind this universe, and one universe exactly 1 second ahead of this universe, but everything is exactly the same, save for that. We can then further assume that the difference between Universe C and Universe D is that a person from Universe D travels to Universe C and changes something in the past, which isn't actually the past because Universe C was always behind Universe D, and so they are changing the present, not the past. We can then further further assume that free will doesn't actually exist, and in actual fact everything that is going to happen is predestined to happen, but we don't know what is going to happen because we don't know which universe we exist on, and if we did know then it still wouldn't make any difference because we were always destined to know that, and thus our destiny would still be predetermined. And even if we were to discover the future and set about changing it then we wouldn't be changing it we would either be wrong in our assumptions about the future, or we are right about the future and yet we changed it anyway, in which case we would simultanously be right and wrong because it turned out that that universe was not meant to make sense at all. The entire concept is set up, it exists...there is nothing more to be said on the matter.You can fawn over other universes if you like. But you are just using scientific justification to use your imagination... http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
August 29, 201114 yr So lemme get this straight, in an infanite number of universes I could be doing a number of things differently? So basically instead of watching TV and studying for my drivers permit testing I could be doing something much more enjoyable or more torturous? Wow, thats more interesting than reading the Drivers Manual. Oh yeah in case y'all don't get it, I'm going to be getting my permit. That's a scary thought! It's worse than the idea of me driving a motorcycle! Oh wait... The motorcycle thing is more scarier than the car thing >_< Anybody got anything to say before I panic and give up?
August 29, 201114 yr Well...I can say this'Believing you are the most sane person out there doesn't help...you realise that you are surrounded by people wielding 2 tonnes of death and you are protected by a sheet of glass and a few inches of metal. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
August 29, 201114 yr If we accept the theory that everything could be different then we must also accept that everything could be the same, with the difference only occuring several millenia later when one atom pops out of existance for no explicable reason.No, the theory states that the alternate universe is created at the first point which differs. Imagine a tree with branches and the base of the tree is the exact point of time at which the Big Bang occurred.I do realize that imagining different universes is pointless as the theory is unfalsifiable and its truth would be inconsequential, it is however a very good although irrational form of psychological self-treatment.

August 29, 201114 yr Can we stop it with the infinant universes stuff? Its getting annoying (now I know how you guys feel when I'm going through one of my episodes).
August 29, 201114 yr Sigh... If I have two sons, which one am I? If you have 1 universe, and there is a choice, then '2' universes are 'created'. The original universe doesn't carry on because there is no original universe to carry on, both are equally valid successors to the universe. Ergo, they can both be seen to have existed before the split, although they are identical. Same way that if I and my imaginary brother were to trace our family history back we could both say we had an identical family history, and yet not be the same person. Your take on the theory(and hell, maybe even the theory itself) is subjective...it views this universe as the correct universe and the other as the 'alternate' one....In actuality neither are the 'Alternate' and neither are the 'Correct'. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
August 29, 201114 yr Except you blabber messages of self-loathing instead of discussing scientific and/or modern-philosophic topics. The correct universe is the universe in which the observer is situated. As for how you explained division of universes your first analogy explains it perfectly well, the current universe is neither of the future alternatives, but nor are them it, as it divides it ceases to be a universe in its own and rather becomes the common part of the alternatives, the alternatives did not exist in parallel to it because they spring from it. Twitter: @TheMather1
August 29, 201114 yr You can't make an accurate theory based on an unobservable criteria. It is, by defenition, unobservable, so the theory is basically invalid. If you bring up the multiverse theory at a conferance, I guarentee that you will get laughed off of the stage.
