Game Theory = Happines?

Destiny? For someone who doesnt believe in destiny, this would make me a believer (in a another universemaybe). Still this has affirmed more of what I have had in my gut for the longest time. Growing up with my reasoning always thrown against me as wrong, because of dogma and canon of my culture this is what makes my whole world seem right.

I feel like my grandfather when he stepped of the boat with his new wife and just the clothes on his back. I guess it reaffirms what my wife and I feel about the future: everything is going to be alright. This is not because of some form of hope or religious premonition, it is because I now know I've been seeing the truth the whole time, even if it was just a small piece of it.

All my arguments and all my discussions have not affirmed so much as what I have affirmed today when I read more about Game Theory: or shall we say Strategic Decisions making. I'm a Pig for Gaming, and the truffle of truth I found is finally mine (insert porky maniacal laughter). The funny thing is that, being a Filipino and knowing that these concepts and theories are not completely understood or practiced gives me an edge in my environment that only others of the "true faith" of gamers can ever enjoy.

Basically, I'm what I've always fantasized to be: the Coneticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court or in how I see it: A Gamer in Byzantium in the reign of the Illyrian General and his courtesan wife during the early 6th century. Nothing like an obsessive gamer's mind and my circumstance to harness the practical knowledge and expertise I could glean from this.

Its my "holy crap" moment or dare I say "crap in my pants" realization.

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.
