Disillusionment Thread (stop lurking and post)

[tulpa001]

I don't understand you. You continue to be the best example of what you rail against on this site in the majority of your posts. I don't understand how you can't see that the moderator action you keep calling for would place you first on the chopping block.

 

Yes there is aggression in this thread. You brought it in. Stop invading Switzerland.

 

No, you are not antiestablishment, but you saw fit to insult the entire group of chaos followers by calling them immoral.

Aight so I didn't read the other posts so far, but I've said before how everything seems repetitive and stale, I tried to add something with the podcast…

@tulpa001:

 

The only issue I have is my lack of trust in Solune, as his previous sentiments make me wary of any sudden notion regarding altruistic endeavours. Like I'd expressed in an earlier caveat, if he'd changed his tune, then I would naturally offer due reconsideration. I don't know or care about the belief-system you are alleging my offences towards - it does not pick my pocket nor break my leg. I am well aware that the rest of the gang are itching to purge my ilk, whether I am on good terms with this forum or not. None-the-less, it would be nice if the staff would offer impartial and attentive meetings when necessary.

 

Furthermore, if my questioning Solune's intent means I have encroached, then you are equitably culpable in dragging this tired and needless feud out over the span of several posts. If this dialogue indeed jeopardises the arbitrary peace set forth, then I suggest we continue discussion in private or cease our current exchange.

"I would rather risk unfriendliness than stagnation. If everybody just peacefully stated their beliefs and respected others beliefs... what would we even talk about?

The weather? Conflict breeds strength. Comfort breeds weakness. That's what I believe."

 

Granted, your views may have changed since this time. Yet the above is diametrically opposed to any notion of eschewing further conflict. Moreover, to delegate any magnitude of communal welfare unto a conceited Discordian would be as if one were to lead small fishes near the maw of a saw-toothed crocodile - unwise, and excruciatingly sardonic.

 

I don't at all blame you for being suspicious of me (after all, I could be lying through my teeth). And again, maybe this thread was a bad idea... that's not for me to decide. If it should be deleted it will be, but maybe some good will come of it. Part of being a Discordian is not limiting yourself to a particular set of beliefs, and also having completely contradictory beliefs. I still stand by everything I said back then. But it's not just me in this head of mine... my tulpas have always felt a desire to connect with other thoughtforms. I would be perfectly content to leave this website and never return if it were just me. I have friends and family outside of this place that are more than enough to keep ME happy.

But my tuppers don't have that. So I stay here for them. And I guess wanting to make them happy is selfish if it comes at the expense of others, but in this instance it's the opposite. Helping other people makes them happy. That's why I felt like making the thread.

If I've ever said I disliked you (I don't think I have but I could have forgotten), then allow me to apologize and say that I changed my mind.

Not that it matters, as you seem like somebody who doesn't require external validation. I want to learn how to be more like that, and that's why I like you.

But no man is an island, right? As much as I say I have enough friends and family... I could always use more.

 

Both the forums and the IRC seem fine to me, outside of people who occasionally complain about the small things.

 

Sol: Solune doesn't believe there is anything "wrong" with the site, he simply wanted to reach out to anyone who feels like they don't fit in and is frustrated by that.

And he wants us ("his" tulpas) to socialize more because he feels that it's good for us. I can't speak for the others, but I derive no special pleasure from interacting with those outside our system. Perhaps that's a flaw of mine... I'm strong enough to admit that I may have weaknesses I'm not aware of.  

 

Aight so I didn't read the other posts so far, but I've said before how everything seems repetitive and stale, I tried to add something with the podcast…

 

I didn't mean to imply that there was anything wrong with the site- I just wanted to talk to anybody that felt like they didn't fit in or needed to vent about something.

I've only listened to a couple of your podcasts, but what I've heard is fantastic. It's a cool idea and you do a good job with it.

I need to go and listen to the rest of them. It's just that getting me to sit through anything is like pulling teeth.

[Solune]

Nothing's wrong with the thread, it's fine and possibly helpful given the lack of activity here.

 

I think the site does exactly what it set out to do: educate and encourage Tulpamancers.

But after a certain point people are going to run out of stuff to educate each other on (or they will have opposed philosophies that can't be resolved).

So a lack of activity is just us choosing not to organize hang outs together. Right?

There's no reason we can't all be skyping and playing games and shit all the time. That's why I made the steam group thread. I would love to spend time with you crazy people... and, more importantly, I feel that it's something my tuppers need.

Thank you for the vote of confidence btw, it is greatly appreciated.

 

Edit: god dang it. I keep making separate posts on accident.

[Vampire]

I think what you are trying to do is great Solune.

[Stevie]

This site doesn't retain members well because people either give up, or they finish and split because there's not a hell of a lot of incentive to post once you're done, unless you like debating or answering questions. To make people stay there's gotta be stuff that'll draw the attention of people that don't wanna answer questions or debate. I don't exactly know what that is but I think lounge threads are a step in the right direction.

 

I'm still here cause talking with other people who have tulpas makes me feel more normal for having one

Luna: I remember the first time another thoughtform spoke to me. The emotions I felt are seared into my mind: overwhelming relief, joy, and a great sense of inner peace- as if a weight had been lifted off me. I reject the idea that needing others is some kind of flaw. We tuppermancers and tuppers need to stick together because let's face it: our society just doesn't get it and may not for some time.

 

Alice: All of our system members enjoy video games, so that's the kind of bonding experience we'll be pushing for.

I was just made aware of a website called CyTube which hosts "rooms" with varying themes that play videos and people chat on the side of the screen while they watch together.

Maybe somebody could create a room for Tulpa.Info and find some movies to stream so we could have a movie night every week or something. That might be fun.

 

I think what you are trying to do is great Solune.

 

Thanks =] I think YOU'RE great. Also, I'm a bit confused so I'll take this opportunity to ask you: are you a tulpa? Or is Ivy a tulpa? Or both?

[Vampire]

I am a host. Ivy is an intended tulpa.

I also have Max who deviated from a servitor and Lucille who was unintended and created with Ivy.

[Brassow]

Lol I've just been to lazy to post.

Somebody tell me about some drama for a comic.
