I like the list.
I've got some ideas of my own:
Another thing I think we need is to have people in general feel less threatened by the DMSI user. My only guess towards my lack of sales ability this year is DMSI, and I think it's because of jealous males or females, treating me as a threat or something.
It's all speculation of course but there is a decided difference between this year and last year WRT my sales ability. I've changed many things (hair/beard, shoes) but one of them is using DMSI.
Quote:[*]Appeal to the Affected emotional-self/emotional-energy-body in an attempt to overcome rational thought/logical resistance with the more irrational/illogical "but, it feels SO right!" "It must be fate!"
Agree with this. People act on their emotions then backwards rationalize. It's a well-known fact.
Another thing that would be useful is to have the user protected from negative consequences as well as negative energy.
Much of my inability to approach or act on manifestations (like the woman I saw yesterday) is from a knee-jerk reaction to what may happen if I do.
You may say this is simply fear, but when there is a real possibility of getting attacked physically, fear isn't the only thing running through your mind.
It's like if you stood on a train track as a train approached. You can remove fear all you want, but the resulting impact and death is not something that will serve you at all.
Quote:[*]Rework the Anti-Sniper to use the word "dangerous" instead of "unacceptable." Unacceptable may be too general a word, and discount an "unacceptably" wide array of people.
Yes! I believe this is happening to me on many levels.
Quote:[*]Rework the Anti-Sniper to only sexually reject a person, not reject the person anti-sniped as a whole (in the case of "revulsion" from negative AS values). I can't be hating, disrespecting, or rejecting everything about a person I may NEED to interact with on a day-to-day basis.
Yes again! I work in sales and IF this happens (or is happening?), it's unacceptable. People come in all varieties. Instead of focusing on differences, we should focus on our commonalities (add that to 3.2 too).
Quote:[*]Decrease sniper sensitivity from only affecting 7's and above to 5's and above - let's see if it does indeed cause more people to be affected, and then if we, collectively, decide we like it better.
I argue remove this entirely. Haave a blanket affect on ALL members of the sex we find SI. Leave it up to the user to decide how best to proceed.
With that, however, add modules that allow the user to telegraph, through BL/energy, a disinterest in those they are disinterested in so that those people will not pursue and will not create awkward or embarrasing situations
Another thing to add would be" removing one-upmanship or competition (I think that may have backfired lol). I've noticed this a LOT on DMSI. Not sure if it's ego or what, but guys (and girls) be trying to show that they, too, are in demand.
Instances that come to mind are:
- A sales appointment. The girl I set it with completely ignored the sales guy when he arrived. She was on the phone the entire time. Despite having a good interaction with her, she seemed more interested in proving she was busy.
- A waitress ignoring me and my brother for a LONG time (we almost left) talking to other patrons
- Managers at the same place doing the same
- 3+ girls at the gym I go to who initially showed interest in me but one by one disappeared after I saw them with a new guy.
Quote:[*]Remove scripting that appeals to reproductive instinct. Plenty of women (and exponentially more men) are completely turned off by any possibility of reproducing, as their conscious desire (even subconscious desire) to NOT reproduce is strong enough to reject the User. I believe it hurts more than it helps, and is not necessary to achieve the goals of the program. I personally feel very strongly about this, especially now that my wife doesn't want more kids - ever. I feel this scripting may be part of the reason she doesn't want to have sex anymore.
Agree with this. Sex should be a means to an end. The end being: more connection, more fun, impressing the DMSI user, gaining status, etc. (These were the initial ideas for DMSI btw)
Quote:[*]Disconnect from impatience and unrest. "Fools rush in."
Not sure about this one, especially if you want people to be more impulsive and "backwards rationalize" their feelings. It contradicts.
Quote:[*]"Oneitis" Sniper: Snipe any person, of the sex you're attracted to, who dominates more than 60% of your sexual thoughts, 24/7.
Not sure about this one either. I'm pretty sure I think sexual thoughts about porn stars more than I do people I've seen in my daily life.
I would say that having a sniper snipe the people we have consciously agreed to however.
For example: I don't think sexual thoughts about my hairdresser all that much (unless I'm sitting next to her with a boner like I did back in 3.0.1 but I digress), but I do want to have sex with her.
That should be enough. I don't want to have to consciously maintain DMSI. There's enough of that going on already (most of my limited results came from conscious actions I took with GREAT difficulty. I'm honestly too tired to keep doing that)
Quote:[*]Manifest people - of the sex you're attracted to - of equivalent energy and physical attractiveness as any current "oneitis," and allow them to seduce you and have sex repeatedly, in order to teach you about your sexually abundant nature - that the "oneitis" is not truly unique or necessary.
Absolutely LOVE this one!
Quote:[*]Equal exchange of value - the Affected must feel they have something to offer/exchange with the User. They must feel valuable and wanted (on some level). DMSI is somewhat one-sided and unbalanced in that regard.
This is a good one, and very insightful. I began to suspect this was an issue myself.
So yeah, those are my thoughts (hope you don't mind me adding/critiquing RT!).
