I guess my question is, is this brand of photographic memory good or bad for counting cards? The mage isn't granting magic powers, so it's scaled to match the best memory humanity has ever had and then exceeds it very slightly. You don't give any more outward signs than you would normally (you'll have to deal with bluffing and disguising your focus). It most certainly is good for counting cards. As good as any human's memory in history has ever been at it (even a little better). | ||

If by personality you mean a complete lack of fear of any situation then I'll take that one, otherwise I'll take the body at an age young enough for me to put it to good use. If I can't take the body from an age where I would actually be able to train from child, I'll take the face. It's personability ie, the quality of being personable. Basically masses of charisma, people hang off your stories, you have great comic timing, you listen well, people often like to hang around you, you can get almost anyone over to your side. Could be a good one- works for jobs, girlfriend, friends, even entering into politics lol! So basically you want to play the long game and take a long term boost to life rather than any insta-perks. Makes sense. I still can't decide what I would go for, but you make a convincing case. | ||

The photographic memory one getting so many votes surprises me. there are lots of people around the world with said memory, i bet you can't name any of them, why? because what does having that do for you. so you can remember your bank account number by heart? I guess you can use it to count cards or use it in poker, but having photographic memory, doesn't mean you can inherently keep track of a 5 deck shuffle in las vegas blackjack. you'll just remember stuff, but the odds are still against you. | ||

also, photographic memory is not all that great. i don't have it, but i'm close. all it really does is help me hold grudges for longer. it didn't really help in studying either, because although i could remember lots of facts, it doesn't help if you don't understand it all. i am also not quite sure what there is to memorize in poker. i guess you can remember every single hand you've ever saw from every single player, but since i'm not much a poker person myself, i have no idea how that will help you play better. | ||

I question all of you, including myself, who say that they want to earn what they have. If that were true for you, you wouldn't choose the career boost nor musical talent nor photographic memory. Isn't that still cheating; using a magically-gifted talent to make money? Granted, the only way you would ever choose this is if you were Jesus and could resist your greed. In this case, the only selfless answer is 100 million $ to your parents (still selfish due to inheritance). | ||

I could live like that and never be required to work a day in my life. And if I don't have to work, I probably still would, but I would just work on exactly whatever I want to work on. So I would probably make an indie game studio and never have to worry about makig money with my games. I could make whatever games I like. I could probably hire one or two other people to work on those games for me too, without straying from my budget. And if it does make money, then I could expand. You could probably live off of more. Even if you got the smallest amount of interest from depositing like 1% that comes out to 150k every months I would have to go with the perfect athletic body. Have you seen bourne identity and stuff. The things you could do would be sick! | ||

Does that mean that you use 100% of you brain ? I heard somewhere that the human race is using less than 15% of it's brain. Using 100% could be huge. | ||

I heard somewhere that the human race is using less than 15% of it's brain. Using 100% could be huge. Firstly, that's a misunderstanding. We use 100% of our brains, just different parts at different times relating to which part we need to use. You don't need to activate your spacial awareness area when you are trying to talk french, for example. Secondly, I couldn't write everything in the poll Q so I can see why you might think it includes the brain but no, it doesn't. It also doesn't include health. It just means a fantastic aesthetic to your body. The perfect athlete genetics allow you to train your strength or cardio to taste. | ||

I could get to do what i want with my life without having to study for it. What i want to do is something i'm not planning to share here, but i'd basically hate studying for it, which is why i'm not doing it. But if i could get straight to the working part, i'd love the shit out of it. I don't care much about money in the end, i just want to do something that i enjoy @Above, it says you HAVE the job and you have the ability and knowledge to also keep it without being fired/being replaced/whatever. You'd have to work and so on, you would probably still be fired if you stopped meeting up, you just have the dream position of your life and the abiltiy and knowledge to keep it. You'd still have to work yourself. | ||
