[OOC] Myriad Reality

[DarkwolfX37]

For some reason, I've always felt like 7 * 8 = 56 is really weird. Like, there's no reason at all behind it. Whenever I hear or use 7 * 8 = 56, it just feels weird.

@whizzball1

That's because your brain wound up set up to see numerical order so when you see two numbers in order, 7 and 8, that result in smaller numbers that are also in order, 5 and 6, which of course lead into the former two, it tricks your brain into thinking that it's wrong because it's somewhat backwards.
Likely depends on person to person since not everyone's brains set up numbers the same way.

Yea, I'm probably going to leave myriad reality for now.

My main reasons why are A: I don't feel like I'm as invested in this as you guys are and B: I don't have any real ideas on what I want to do with Nix or Alan.

So for now I'm gonna step back and see if I can't learn how to make my own plots and develop a character, and once I've figured out how to do that I'll come back and ask if i can join again. Because as of right now, I have no ideas for any new abilities Nix might get, and I have no clue on how she would get them. Same goes for Alan, and so until I've figured out what I want to do long term and how to make stories in which my characters grow, I'm gonna step back from this unique role play and only come back when I feel I can add something to it.

Honestly, I'd argue that staying is a more effective way to do that since you can learn from watching everyone else, but it's your decision. Though if you can, stay around in the OOC at least. If nothing else, it'll help you remember about MR and not wind up never coming back because you just forgot about it.

@DarkwolfX37

Maybe? I mean, it seems kind of ad hoc.

@whizzball1

Maybe, but how many similar instances are there? Especially common ones.

[DarkwolfX37]

SVVVVVVEEEEEEENNNNNN

[DarkwolfX37]

THEY DID WORSE THAN I THOUGHT

[DarkwolfX37]

THEY MADE IT SO POTARA ISN'T PERMANENT AT ALL

@DarkwolfX37

I mean, many instances of the same phenomenon (7*8 being weird) doesn't imply a specific explanation. It just implies that the actual explanation probably explains them all. One ad hoc explanation will explain them all just as well as another ad hoc explanation.
EDIT: Unless you're talking about several similar phenomena.

@whizzball1

I'm talking about several similar phenomena. The reason this one feels weird is because they next instance of it occurring with numbers is... what? A few hundred? A few thousand? What's the next instance of it after this one? It's definitely high enough that it's not a commonly occurring thing like 7 x 8 can be.

I have determined that cyber defense is really hard.

@DarkwolfX37

Maybe. I'm still not sure about the explanation.

@DarkwolfX37

I'm planning on keeping up to date with what's going on in MR since it's interesting. I just won't be posting anything IC.

They actually fixed more problems than they caused with this one, if you think about it.

A question I've recently become interested in. It's not meant to cause debate, since it's a general question and doesn't specify anything. pls answer

@whizzball1

I'd be willing to say that that is an outlier, because 3, 4, and 12 are such small numbers that it's easy to see regardless.

@Intrepid

Thanks. now if only the question had actually instigated discussion anywhere I put it

Have an exam tomorrow on rotational kinematics and dynamics, energy of rotation, and Kepler's Laws. Rotational dynamics murders me.
