    I'm in Portland. Same time zone, I guess? I'd also be glad to hear some advice/experiences from someone experienced in... group joining? I'm looking to get into something myself. There are a lot of options, and I have eclectic (or possibly just indiscriminate) interests. Some advice or direction would help with narrowing down my choices, at least.

    The typical advice is to join things. Improv classes, book clubs, volunteering. Anything that gives you a consistent shared context with other people. It's a lot easier to meet people when you don't have to awkwardly break the ice with a generic conversation opener. With groups like this, you have a thing that you're doing already, and conversation develops organically around that. Not completely sure how to "break out" of that context though. I've found some success with board game and RPG groups. Board games are a good way to get to know people's personalities and tendencies in a short timeframe. RPGs are just wonderful, but only if you're playing with the right people. As with any niche interest, you're going to get weirdlings. Probably more than, say, video games, but likely less than Magic or something. I've found board gamers and RPG players to be more diverse than other "nerd" groups. I am not the best to ask. I kind of don't have any friends? Best I have is co-workers, and I'm leaving that job soon. That's part of why I'm here, the primary reason I got into this tulpa thing. I don't really have anyone to talk to.

    Good luck to you with model building! It's always fun to see someone find a new hobby and just throw themselves into it. It makes me feel better about humanity. Rose City Comic Con is coming up here in Portland. I went to the con last year, and didn't have much in the way of excitement happening. I kind of just wandered around and looked at vendors. I'm thinking that I might try attending again this year, but I'd like to prepare more. Has anyone around here been to cons and had a good time? What should I do there? Should I bring anything? I'd kind of like to make some friends - how do I meet people there? How do I con properly?

    I've always kind of wondered what I would be like drunk, but I'm too much of a straight-edge/square to actually find out. Same thing with weed - which is legal now in Oregon. I've wanted to visit Germany for a few years now. I've tried on-and-off to learn German. Also, university is free there, which would be nice.
  6. Entry 13 Auspicious, eh? Summer was not better. After school ended I hit a fairly serious bout of depression, which I didn't really want to acknowledge. I had very, very little mental energy, and I fell off the wagon hard. I haven't forced for months. I want to feel bad about this, I should feel bad about this. But I don't. I was making no real progress over the course of a month, and in ways I was actually regressing by the end. I'm 85% certain that Illume wasn't even near anything that I would call consciousness. I didn't post here for a while because I was disappointed in myself. I still am. I see some of the people here going on for months, even years with little progress and not giving up. I marvel at their willpower. I don't think I'm going to be forcing again for a while. I still need to work through this depression thing. I want to re-involve myself in the forum, though. It's a weird, eccentric little community that I think I would have fit well into had I stayed longer, and put in more effort. I hope people aren't too pissed at me.
  7. I am very suspicious of Sushi at this point. He's proven to be very mathematically minded in the past, e.g. the Resistance thread, and to completely ignore my logic is out of character. I think he's mafia, and doing it to get an innocent out of the way early. I'm not sure of anyone else's allegiance. Suspicious of Enny just because.
  8. Well I'd love to not die. Stats-wise, there's a good chance that I'm innocent (from your perspective, anyways - from mine, it's a 100% chance), so killing me now is a bad move. If I'm on the bad team (whatever we're calling it now), then we have 1 out of 3 down immediately, which is good. There's about a 1/3 chance of that outcome. In around 2/3 of situations, though, I'm innocent. Killing me in that case would mean 2 of the 6 innocents are dead by tomorrow (the bad team killing one tonight), leaving 4 vs 3, and only 1 more innocent kill is required for the bad team to win the whole game. It's not a good move to kill anyone today. ##Abstain.
  9. Entry 12 It's been one month now. I've probably made progress, but it's not easy to see. Still no solid response. Still personality forcing. I'll probably finish that out this week, then move to vocality/sentience stuff for a week or two. Still kind of pessimistic. I'm hoping that summer will be better.
  10. Unanimous approval again. Suspicious? Maybe. Jean-Luc, Yuki, Sushi: Send in your results.
  11. Missed the last one, but I'll join this one.
  12. Okay then. Team is set. Send me your votes.
  13. Entry 11 It's three in the morning. I just finished an hour and fifteen minutes of personality forcing. I was going to do some visualization and more intense narration, but it's three in the morning. I haven't gotten anything from Illume since the stairs thing. I've been looking around, and it seems that the people who don't get a response in the first month usually have a much longer and more difficult time getting anything. Some people had quicker responses, e.g. within a few weeks, and those are most of who I see being successful. It's discouraging. Either you're a prodigy or you're deficient. As of now it looks like I'm deficient. I'm hoping to start forcing more. University is winding down. I'll have a lot more free time. I haven't been passive forcing with nearly as much discipline. Trying to think of methods to help with that. Ideally I want to be where I was when I started, passive forcing almost constantly. This is a common problem for me - I lose enthusiasm or drive after a while on the same project. It's not as bad with Illume though. I have more of a responsibility there, more motivation. I have to finish what I started.
  14. Pass & Pass The operation goes off without a hitch. A government official who seemingly could not be corrupted (trust me, you've tried) is impeached for accepting a bribe. Mission 2: Assassinate a business tycoon. The captain for this mission is Jean-Luc. You will choose 3 operatives for this mission, yourself included if you so choose.
  15. Everyone approved. Normally I would reveal the result of votes individually, but that seems unnecessary here. Quetzal and Kiahdaj, send me your pass/fails.
