Head hurting from thinking too hard.

For the Gamer in me. I'm considering taking Post-Graduate Diploma on Management in La Salle (my Alma Matter). I consider it a level up towards applying the critical thinking I've learned in my Gamer life onto Magery... or Money Making- "The only Magic that Matters".

Still I think most of the talented Gamers I know would ace this and would do better than I would... if they have any reason to go into it. Typically I'd "attach" myself on those who can teach me more and who'se natural abilities exceed mine. I'm not looking forward to the Group Work since I am a prickly kind of person.

Talked to Melchior. Oh well, if he ever wonders what made me walk that direction he should know Nikos has a very strong hand in such events. It takes a lot of growing up on my part... A LOT of growing up.

Canvasing Artists. Found one (with possible access to some) and already laying the initial viability study for my Media production business. I've emailed the dude and hopefully more stuff pans out. Hopefully a meet next week.

Rackets. A term for projects on your own time. Working on my racket with the 1150 guys. Viability study and something fairly intresting. As I slowly mutate into an entrepenure I hang on to my artistic dream with these projects, hopefully I can apply what I learned in money making and efficiency into a way to produce and make money out of my project.

Upon Simplification the major aspects of money making, if they can be converted to game stats are the following:
  1. Management. This mainly the execution of a process and maintenance of what every "gimick" the money maker is going to do. In a game it would be a passive skill that would reflect efficiency and how well a business can take sh!t that comes along. This also includes aspects of money collection.
  2. Marketing. Selling an Idea or a Product is all about Marketing. Communicating the value of your service or product is the foundation of an exchange of resources (without the use of force of course). This skill includes networking, contacts, and knowing who will buy your stuff or will help you sell it.
  3. Analysis. The bottom line is profit, management may run things ok and market may get you some money but without Analysis you can not see where you're going. Analysis is many complicated things that combines the other two, but in the context of this skill it is the ability to predict anything relevant to the future of your business. When to Exit, when to Enter, what to change, who to hire, who to fire, who to sell to next, who will make more money etc... Analysis is the consoldiation of the two other skills and the data about past and current performance.
This is just a simplification of many more skills and traits that make up a successful Magician... er...Businessman. In the thinking Gaming has taught me, working with a simple open concept then slowly integrating it and developing the big picture of how everything works in your head is understanding one needs to master any game... or in any process.

Getting Sick. hehehe, chat got infected

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
