Fluny's fantastic, started making the clan with him and I know him IRL. He's moved, so now his internet is shit, but I could try to persuade him to at least give the forums a shot. He'd fit right in your wacky discussions, that silly ol' fluny.

Daliger's not half bad at Aikdio Big Dojo. Won 3 out of 3 games with him, but he holds his own. Question for discussion: What mods have you improved in? In what mod would you like to get better? Ask for a bit of training with your fellow pro peers!

I've become somewhat decent in Aikido, not so much in ABD (I'm fairly new to ABD). Pammy and Audiomagi are witnesses of my quasi-skill/suckiness in both mods.

I would very much like to improve in those mods. (with the help of you bros, of course)

Lol, I've been waiting for a new topic of discussion on this awesome thread for a week now, hawkes.

...

At the most rudimentary level, identity is what makes Timee "Timee", hawkes "hawkes", de4th "de4th", Alison Brie "Goddess made human", etc. ad nauseaum

If we're talking about identifying one's self for identity's sake, irrespective of perceived theories about reality and existence, then yes, we are qualified to do so.

If not ... I'll post it in another post. I'm in a bit of a rush, you see.

...

That sounds so ... romantic. Aww.

i always wondered where fluny was he was very cool

Thats..actually probably true </3

I was wondering How to apply for Oblv

...really? Did you READ the first page? Jesus.

I have here my own classification system for identity, meaning that it is not backed by evidence and is very likely to be flawed. Posting it here, so that you can look at and possibly correct it, as I will want to be able to express these ideas properly. As for personal identity, I am obviously unqualified to be making any sort of assumptions.


The primary identity is defined by the physical and verbal traits (or in the case of an internet forum, the username, avatar, signature, etc.) which are made apparent upon encountering, and interacting with the individual. All of the surface traits which the individual displays, especially unconscious displays such as word choice and gesturing in conversation (or the online equivalent, use of emoticons), form the fundamental identity. When one thinks of this person, these surface traits are the ones which immediately come to mind.

The secondary identity, is the one which the individual displays consciously. This would include behavioural traits, choice of clothing (or in Toribash, choice of item colours and textures), likes and dislikes, etc. This is the conventional identity, and it is the one most relevant to people that frequently interact with the individual, and the individual themselves.

The tertiary identity is the one which I define to be the persistent identity. This includes all the traits which aren't defined by the first two categories, which do not change easily over time, even as their primary and secondary identities change, such as the individual's beliefs, values, mental capability, etc.

sure time ill help
even though i suck at toribash :P
