Well, from personal experience I can tell that you do lose a lot of skill when you stop playing for a long time, it's not about 1-2 months no worming, it's about not playing for years. I have lost much skill in BnG, like literally all skill in roper (can't drop/shoot for shit) and so on...

The good thing though is, when I focused on the schemes I could gain the knowledge back in a pretty fast way. Like that little notching guide, if I were active I could have made that in like 30 minutes and it would been perfect with no missed shots, and more detailed. But I had to relearn the things I used to do there so it took me like 2 hours with little practicing and still missed some shots. It's not really an issue that you "lose" it. It's more like you simply need to focus and force yourself to remember all the little things you did unconsciously while playing years ago.

Another example, people that really know me from the early years know that I started to twitch with 1 finger and then went to fingerroll. Like out of curiosity I tried to do twitch roping again, I knew how it works and could even do some good things but my hand would get upset and it would take some weeks to get the hang of it. Same with 2hand taps, having the coordination still to do really fast 2hand taps but the movement between arrow keys and space to do shadows/scrolls etc. is really off so I would need to practice that a bit.

So, yeah, Cue is right there. You can perfectly regain your skill if you have the same passion, it's just a matter of if you want to do it again.

True, but it's damn hard to be as passionated as before since you know you're playing worst than your capabilities. :p

Massilia ftw. :p

Well, depends on regions.

On our side, telling someone is a "dindon" is a way to say "you suck" between friends. xP

awesome design 

f@#!ing agree !

It goddamn rocks !

At your place MI, I'd do a class with everything you need, and so if I need to change something on an object, I'd just make/call a method. :p

This way, you can generate your page through objects.
And so if they change, the page will also change.

I'm a bit rusty with PHP, but I think it's kinda easy to do so.

I didn't really got it: if you can explain me in French, I might be able to help you.

Quote from: HHC on July 24, 2012, 07:01 PMThe men are entitled to their opinion. And I'm fairly sure they are gonna stick to it, no matter what you say.

I wouldn't if they had bring me proofs (such as they ask).

Quote from: Cueshark on July 24, 2012, 07:04 PMDo you think there is something offensive about being shown the truth?  Even if it goes against cherished beliefs then it's still more important to uphold the truth.

It is your truth. I'm sure there are many subjects where your truth won't be other people's truth.

And what if I have 2 contrary opinions on the same thing ? I told you, I don't know if it was real or if I'm insane.
Since then, I have 2 points of view. And it's kinda hard to live with (what can you trust in ?).

I tend to believe it was real, but this is just a wish.

And on another side, some things must have been real since I wasn't the only one involved.

I really don't know what to think of it. So I dig both points. And the "non real" one was stagnating until this "epilepsy" proposition.

Meanwhile, it doesn't mean I can't argue.

Was it WaC or WLC ?

I remember that map, but can't remember from which clan/league.

You're implying that I would believe in the impossible / supernatural if I experienced something which I couldn't immediately explain.

Nop, I implyed that you wouldn't deny it so easly, that's pretty different.

Example: I really think god doesn't exist, just cause it's a bag of bullshits imo, etc etc..
But if one day, something related to god comes in front of me, I'd be totally wordless.

PS: I've add some things in my last post.

When did I say such thing ?
From this quote you have been able to conclude so much thing ? Dude...

It's just an experience, but seeing it from your own eyes is much more different.
Would you just deny it happenned ? That's what you seem to mean.

Quote from: Cueshark on July 24, 2012, 10:52 AMWhy are people so arrogant to think that they can experience what they think is telepathy and conclude that telepathy therefore exists!?

Why are people so arrogant to think telepathy doesn't exist while they've never lived such a thing ?

See ? I can say the same.
You should agree it's an unknown subject (source me if I'm wrong), and many people lived so.
It's not cause we don't have a scientific proof YET, that it's totally false.

I'm not saying telepathy exists. I'm just saying until someone find a thumor in my brain, I'll believe what I saw was real.

Well, maybe Free just overextends a bit.
But when you live such experiences, believe me, it's damn hard not to (you kinda wonder what's real and what's not; if you just lived something crazy or if you're just insane).

The spoon doesn't exist.

If you ever find yourself in such a situation again, ask them to write a number on a piece of paper and put that on top of the anesthesiology equipment (without telling you which number it was)
A 2 or 3 digit number would be good, so guessing it would be hard, but you'd still be able to remember the number. A word could work as well.

I'm not really able to talk to someone in that situation, don't you remember I'm high in the sky ? <.<

And btw, those things stopped many years ago, and I really wish it could happen more so I could analyze it, but it doesn't.
From current days, it only happenned once, but was when I gave up wanting new ones (saying it would never happen again). So when it did happen, I was so chocked I couldn't analyze it clearly.

Telepathy works best when going unnoticed, taken for granted. When I was young my sister and I used to practice telepathy intentionally, and we found consistently that it worked least well when we were "trying" to do it, and best when it went something like, "Hey, what animal am I looking at a picture of?" "I'm busy, I'm not in the mood to do it now." "Come on, just guess something!" "I told you, I don't feel like trying it now!" "Come on, guess something!" "I don't know, a lion! Now quit bugging me!"

Yes, and I believe that when you're focusing on telepathy, in fact you're not focusing on the good thing (and so "you" can't focus on the real one).
But when you don't, your mind is up to focus on it (if it happens).
And if it's an important (emotionnaly) event, then the wave gonna be strong enough so it can take the priority.

Quote from: Free on July 24, 2012, 06:58 AM
If you were to pay close attention to your fellow humans, you would see casual unconscious telepathy happening among friends and family members constantly

Can't be more true.

Quote from: DarkOne on July 24, 2012, 10:11 AMI think I know Cueshark well enough to reply with this picture, Rok

Yeah, Cue changing his mind suddenly was kinda suspicious.


PS: Anyway Cue, I really wish you could live such a thing.
I'm sure you wouldn't say such things so easly anymore.

PSS: Haven't you ever lived such a thing: when you're doing something needing high dexterity of your hand only, if you concentrate high enough, than you'll feel like your brain "comes" into your hand (your point of view isn't anymore from the head, but from the hand) ?
I'm not sure it's clear enough, but I don't know how to explain that, it's a pretty weird sensation.
It lastly happenned 2 days ago and it's not a rare situation. And most of the time this happens, my skill is hundred time better (not to say perfect).
But like Free said, if I try to do it on my own (and not just hardly focusing on my goal), then it won't happen (to link with early talk, I'm focusing on trying to "trough" my concentration on my hand and not on my goal, so it doesn't happen).

For scientists, I'd say it's like if my brain could only feel hand nerves (maybe you'll understand better this way).

For those who had experienced conscious absences, it is just an absence but located on your hand.

Quote from: DarkOne on July 23, 2012, 12:08 PMBut they can't describe the topside of the machinery for the anaesthesiologist, because they had no previous knowledge of what was on top of it.

I have been able. Was a roof, not a machine, but the same. I'd say the surface I could see was more or less 25 meters around me.
And this was happenning when I was feeling the noise, not just hearing (always happenned during my absences): that might be why I could listen all the conversations at once.

Quote from: Free on July 23, 2012, 11:05 AM
How can I better describe it other than the whole universe consists of energy and the atoms vibrate and this enables there to be different frequencies (herz). Think of it like a radio, those are the frequencies I'm talking about.
