Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

Yep it works now

As for @Shannon, is it recommended that everyone start off with ultrasonic format with Ephrav6, regardless of their personality and the depth of their issues?

The models are indicating that in your case, Masked is a better choice.

[Shannon]

I've just purchased the new E6, which I'm looking forward to starting. I've never used a sub that only requires 15 mins before, and I seem to recall you can either start from the beginning of the track, and stop at 15 min mark, or start at the 45 minute mark and stop at 60 mins?

I've done a search but can't seem to find confirmation of this? Can anyone help please?

You can start it at 0 and play for 15 minutes, or start at 45 and play until the end, or pick anywhere in between and play for 15 minutes.  It all works.

BUT...

Be careful not to play from 45 minutes on a player that automatically plays the next "song" unless it's a playlist and it's set to not loop or repeatSome of them do that, and that can cause all manner of issues with subliminals.  In my case, for the oneI use, I have to create a playlist of one loop, then set the file to start playing at 45 minutes, and then make sure it's not set to loop or repeat in any way.

Shannon, if I met someone on the tail end of DMSI, who I get along with really well, and with whom things are getting serious, would if be a bad idea to pursue a relationship with them for any reason that you can think of?

No reason I can think of.  DMSI doesn't prevent that... but I wouldn't know how to advise you on continuing usage, since...

A) The relationship might be based on the effects of DMSI, and may die without them, and...
B) the relationship may die if you keep using DMSI because of how it influences you and others.

So you'll have to answer whether to keep using it based on your personal experience of what it does for you personally.

1) What are your current planned releases prior to releasing ASC 6G? 

I originally planned to run Maverick until AM7 is released, but I feel like I've reached the point of diminishing returns with Maverick. Also, the inevitable boredom of running a single stage sub has hit me hard lately. Considering it could be as far out as December before the first 6G release, I'll likely shift gears in the interim.

Right now, everything is in a state of flux as I try to get my computer back to a state where I can work.  I am close to just throwing the damned thing in the trash and buying a new one, at this point.  But I cannot know until everything is back to working.  I was looking at building at least three programs, two of which are so far secret and one being Male Enhancement v3.  I'm not sure yet what's going on with any of them, because I cannot run the models without my computer, and the models are what I rely on to tell me whether ME is going to be worth building at this stage or if the other two are good options for right now.

But if you're getting diminishing returns from Maverick, it's probably time to switch things up.

2) Are you planning to publicly state the goal of the alpha test 6G pre-release program? I'm curious as to what that goal might be and if you're looking to recruit testers.

The goals of the alpha and beta test programs for 6G were not planned for public release because these programs are probably not going to be publicly released.  They're also not solidified yet, because of all the disruption going on right now. I have a few titles that have been suggested, but have been dealing with computer failure every waking moment shy of eating, sleeping and showering since it started.

The ideal goal is going to be something useful to the widest possible audience of testers, and that rules out entirely my usual go-to goals for experimentals.  If I am going to test 6G in the shortest amount of time and iterations, I need to know it works for every age group from about 5 years old and up.  It also has to be something that can show results quickly, and is obvious enough to be easily detected for reporting.  I'm still working on the computer situation, but the titles for the pre-release 6G testing are undecided.  Any suggestions are welcome.

I may need some new testers, though.

Ultra Success is the only thing in the store that appeals to me at the moment, thanks to removing the luck magnifier. I don't stream, so I thought I'd ask about the anticipated releases before pulling the trigger.

Thank you.

Hi @Shannon

Is there something in Money Magnet that directly or indirectly affects sex drive or hormones?

Ever since I’ve been on it the last 2-3 weeks I’ve been insatiable, horny all day every day

Waking up with boners every morning (even more so than when on TOFM and GEHO)

Thanks Shannon. That’s really helpful. Luckily, I stopped listening very soon after meeting her, and things have only got better over time, so that’s very encouraging in the context of what you’ve said.

Sorry to hear about your computer issues, @Shannon . Very frustrating, I've dealt with my share of computer issues over time. It cripples everything, extremely irritating. I hope you can resolve it asap. Both for your sanity, and for business!

Deeply looking forward to MEv3. I'm sure it will be amazing and change things for us. Even if it's only just a "moar powah!" upgrade as you said would occur unless the experiment you were running can improve the scripting. I have total faith you'll deliver an awesome program for us all again soon!

Be positive, and calm...best advice I can give with these computer issues. If you get angry, you tunnel vision and rage, I speak from huge amounts of experience with these issues doing that, haha...

There is no such thing in the script of MM.  Which means that that is resulting from the clearing of something tied to it and making money within your subconscious - some belief resulting in an association.

Good to know.  Feedback on that is useful.  Thank you.

I have learned from painful experience that when I go through one of these cycles that does this to my computer, there is nothing to do but be patient. 

Right now I am in the process of restoring some of the backup, and after that I have to work out what parts of that restore need to stay and which can be deleted.  Then I have to work out how to use this backup using the new software setup.  Not fun or fast, but it's progress and I'll take that over failing all day every day, any day of the week.

It never ceases to amaze me how each sub has its own 'feel'. US feels completely different than Maverick after only one listening session.

@Shannon

If doable, here's something else you might consider extracting from Maverick and using in other subs.

Maverick has a ballsiness to it. There's an almost autopilot-like risk taking mechanism that's so natural that it usually isn't obvious in the moment.  In my opinion, this is one of Maverick's best qualities. If it was combined with some motivating script to drive it toward a particular goal, it seems like this could be beneficial to pushing the limits of other subs, particularly where taking action is concerned. I could especially see this being useful in titles like AM7 or UMSvNEXT.

Please give this some consideration when 6G rolls around.

How about a vision correction sub? That could be useful for ages 5+ and the results could be easily measurable I would think.
