I'm not looking for names, I'm just asking in theory.
So you remember being able to do — and can do — time- and time-travel-related things. Do you remember anyone else like that? People who could do...unusual things?
yes every player in our game could do shit and some ppl could do extra shit i DO know of one other time player but like theres a ton of aspects and things you can do with them depending on your class blah blah blah but yeah basic bottom line is i knew people who could do unusual things
hm kinda actually yes one person i knew was capable of moving planets around and changing their sizes i think from what i understand she was in charge of space as an aspect and then my mom was void and she was able to steal the nothing out of shit to make them into something and also i guess sometimes this created cubes and pumpkins? im not 100% clear on that tbh neither of those aspects being mine i didnt have to know the details beyond well sure that sounds like it works but nothing and planet sizes both qualify as implausible probably
like my understanding is she can have an idea of something but the idea doesnt exist because it just doesnt but if you steal the not existing of a thing out of a thing it then exists? dont quote me on this bc i may be misunderstanding something here and she doesnt remember anything and cant correct me on it now but thats what ive come to understand via conversations with someone who kinda knew it better and her whole thing with pumpkins and cubes earlier in the year
its just a really creative use of one particular talent basically gotta admire a loophole abuser
ok i THINK we arent responsible for the unreality bullshit im pretty sure
also i think it like i have no idea where it goes possibly she exchanges it with the idea where it existed somewhere so its just moving things via bullshit
nope but also i understand how a really fucking weird game called sburb works so very little actually sounds strange sometimes its like why is that even a thing but its never like that totally cant be a thing its just like i mean i GUESS
Well-spotted. Likely he learned it from Plato, who as a student himself of Socrates, would have been a firsthand authority on all manner of preposterous bullshit.
Did you know that Socrates used to walk up to accomplished, educated people, ask them if they thought they were smart, and then verbally eviscerate them just to prove the "point" that they allegedly really weren't?
Even centuries before the internet existed, human nature never really changes.

I'm trying to think of how to phrase this. Move things around in three-dimensional space? Implausible things, I mean.
no subject
kinda actually yes
one person i knew was capable of moving planets around and changing their sizes
i think
from what i understand
she was in charge of space as an aspect
and then my mom was void
and she was able to steal the nothing out of shit
to make them into something
and also
i guess sometimes this created cubes and pumpkins?
im not 100% clear on that tbh
neither of those aspects being mine i didnt have to know the details beyond
well sure that sounds like it works
but nothing and planet sizes both qualify as implausible probably

Explain the part about "steal the nothing out of something" to me one more time.
no subject
my understanding is she can have an idea of something
but the idea doesnt exist
because it just doesnt
but if you steal the not existing of a thing out of a thing
it then exists?
dont quote me on this
bc i may be misunderstanding something here and she doesnt remember anything and cant correct me on it now
but thats what ive come to understand via conversations with someone who kinda knew it better
and her whole thing with pumpkins and cubes earlier in the year

Also it seems like it would be perilously easy to substitute "unreality" and "reality" for "not-existing" and "existing" in this hypothetical.
no subject
THINK we arent responsible for the unreality bullshit
im pretty sure
also i think it like
i have no idea where it goes
possibly she exchanges it with the idea where it existed
somewhere
so its just moving things
via bullshit

Of course, the difference between Ancient Greece and the internet is that back then, when they got tired of Socrates's trolling, they just killed him.
