Should have read the whole post. Anyway after reading it twice now, I found a part I could apply to mafia: On May 22 2015 07:36 batsnacks wrote: Thus the superior man encourages people to approach him By his readiness to receive them. [...]The image counsels that the mind should be kept humble and free, so that it may remain receptive to good advice. People soon give up counseling a man who thinks that he knows everything better than anyone else. Uh... so let me try this... The italic part says a good towny is up to talk about things happening in the thread and does not be too super defensive if someone else calls him scum. He is open and active and tries to get people to talk in order to find scum. And the other part says that he should look at all the people and be open to reconsider his reads, otherwise he might tunnel super hard. Still super cryptic stuff. At least I had something to think about for a bit. xD | ||

Newbie Student Mafia X was on my mind. duh. Eh, more detail would be nice (like thinking of the game's resolution, general excitement for a new game, etc). Idk, it's a bit of a mixed reading imo. We have the promise of succeeds, but who's? By keeping still within while experiencing joy without, one can prevent the joy from going to excess and hold it within proper bounds. This is the meaning of, "Perseverance furthers." Suggests a sort of temperance to me, I'm reading this to mean we are in for a long game. Heaven and earth attract each other and thus all creatures come into being. From the attractions they exert we can learn the nature of all beings in heaven and on earth. All will be revealed, kindof a given since by the end of the game we will all know what people's roles are. I take this to further the notion of a long game, our "attractions" (read: interactions) will help us learn all things, something that is not likely to happen quickly. People soon give up counseling a man who thinks that he knows everything better than anyone else. Interesting line, not sure what to make of it just yet though. In movement, the calf of the leg follows the foot; by itself it can neither go forward nor stand still. Since the movement is not self-governed, it bodes ill. One should wait quietly until one is impelled to action by a real influence. Then one remains uninjured. I don't like the implications here. To me this is supporting scum... BS why does your reading support scum? | ||

Sorry I got distracted just making my own interpretations of that, lol. I give it an 8. The image counsels that the mind should be kept humble and free, so that it may remain receptive to good advice. Not just good town advice, good advice in any discourse/argument/discussion. | ||

I had a different opinion on the calf following the foot. I took it to mean that it is better to be quiet until there is a reason to speak than to just do meaningless things for no reason. Which isn't necessarily true in mafia but that's the meaning my mind seemed to wander after. I think there is a lot of value in vague words and how people interpret them so I post iching inspired stuff a lot in mafia games. | ||

Not that I know of no. So SL gives a cheap townread thats w/e but his reason for it doesn't make sense at all so he obviously wasn't thinking critically then he goes on to talk about flavor and then disappears. This guy is scum | ||

Nope, it's just a name I liked as I was thinking of character/account names. I enjoy the connection to time the name has as well as it being onomatopoeia. I actually really dig your idea here, partially kus I have mad respect for I-ching. I dabbeled in all that stuff (tarot, astrology, etc) for awhile and I-ching always stood out to me as being the most interesting. | ||
