Trip.1e Bag It - Wrapping Up with my Aura Jimmy Hat - DMSI V3.1

[SargeMaximus]

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.

I wouldn't say it's fear, necessarily, but the use of rationale in the face of a consequence that's possible. Shannon always said his goal with OF is to replace fear with using logic and the rational mind to make a decision instead.

So, are you inferring that the auric shield needs an upgrade or optimization?

I don't know. All I know is males seem to be MORE territorial and aggressive near me these days.

I guess that's to be expected but cmon, it's DMSI! Where's the celeb effect?

[*]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

I see. You're saying remove the rating system, and then allow the sniper to affect all women you find attractive - perhaps by aligning its power with whomever you are most attracted to through the least?

Kind of. Just have it affect all women period. I'll explain...

Regarding your second point, you're saying you want the Anti-Sniper to fire and communicate "back off, sexually!" to women we aren't interested in? That would have to worded very delicately. Of course, I believe Shannon can pull just about anything off that he sets his mind to.

Think of it like this:

You see a stunning woman. You're attracted to her. She looks at you, you smile, she smiles politely but looks away and never looks at you again.

Unless you have severe self esteem issues my guess is you still find her sexually attractive. You just wish she was more "open" to you.

That's the same effect we're going for I think.

In the example, you wouldn't approach the girl because she obviously isn't interested. But you're still attracted.

[*]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.

It doesn't contradict, because one is the User side, the other is the Affected side. I advocate the User has patience, disconnects from being impatient, and shifty. I think the Affected shouldn't absolutely act on feeling and impulse. That makes all the difference in the world, IMO.

I think I see what you're saying. There may be a typo in there...

Are you saying:

- The user should be patient and disconnects from impatience and being shifty while the Affected does not?

If so then I see what you're saying and agree.

[*]"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)

Your hairdresser example is really what I was trying to across with my point. I should amend the bullet point to read, "Who you have physically met," much like the Long-Distance Sniper. I, in no way, meant the "anyone, anywhere in the world" version of Oneitis-Sniper (like how the current LDS works).

I appreciate that RT!

Cool, I guess that works. But again, I'm not thinking sexual thoughts about her that often (Certainly not 60%). I think it would be good enough to have "Of the people you've met who you want to have sex with"

Maybe I'm weird/unhealthy whatever, but I don't think sexual thoughts very often. It actually takes effort to do so.

Thanks for your input. I think we got some great versions of DMSI in our future!

Yeah I'm excited to see what Shannon does for 3.2

It's been a LONG time coming, that is for sure!
