All very critical observations, I appreciate your insight. And yes, the rules of the game allow you to make reality-bending plays as long as you don't upset too many of the other players it seems. I developed a random obsession with chess during this period (only played a few times, was never very good) and as I developed my ideas I became more and more obsessed, but not even with playing chess or anything, I was obsessed with the concept of chess and it's rules/setups/strategies. Eventually, I started to think about the players of the game rather than the pieces, and after that I started to see myself as some sort of 'chess master' that was above the rules of the game. That's when everything went down hill, when I realized that I could move pieces around and even bend the rules a little but didn't know how to navigate the board. Pardon the analogy, but I feel as though it's related to the memetics- having a certain awareness of the pieces and how they move, the archetypes and their interactions, etc. Everything fit on the board, if that makes any sense, including me, and I was existing as if my movements were one inevitable. Naturally, other people became nothing more than pieces on the board, and every event a certain play that responds to the opposing move, and every move happening on the board as just another continuation of the rules of the game. Mind Games galore for sure, you put it better than me, like a game that everyone but me seemed to know how to play, and I was almost taunted for it after lashing out too haha. It seems more believable when I think about now than it did when it was happening somehow, I was so deep into it that I couldn't tell if I was making my own moves anymore.

oh yes, just like I said. it seems like it bends reality, even in retrospect. it may even have, i don’t know. i appreciate the chess stuff. the logic came through language for me. themes of belief, intention, and statement. abracadabra. we were exposed to slightly different things, some of what you’re talking about i didn’t connect until after. some of what im saying might make more sense as time passes. i know what you mean about people just becoming pieces. i wasn’t a chess player, but a kind of movie director you could say. hm, this may be a stretch but what if i supposed to you, some kind of legendary “perfect chess game”? would that be familiar? the other pieces not allowing you to play out this perfect game? if this so happens to resonate, did you feel any urgency to complete this? as if you subconsciously knew it wouldn’t last forever? all in all, you’re not crazy. not one bit. and i can promise you from 5 years down the road, it’s just the beginning.

Yes, although I felt as though I was stopped from playing out my 'perfect' match by the other pieces on the board, I really stopped myself in the end because it wasn't worth it. It's hard to describe, but I feel like there wasn't a point in playing anymore once I was willing to die just to win, it sapped all of the fun out of it and I realized that I didn't even really want to win, I just wanted to keep playing and feel like I was winning, which is hard to do, especially when you're 'cheating.' Not to frame the experience negatively, but there were many negative aspects of it that would have destroyed me had I not overcome them. Im just happy it happened, and eager to understand the world more as I mature with the knowledge that I was able to retain.

how crazy can you really be when clearly i know a fair amount about what you went through despite knowing nothing about you? that’s for you to decide. as for the end goal of this task, i don’t plan to pry, but i do have one last question. was it purely about winning for you, or were there anything themes of it being “for the best” in your head? would it have helped only you, or others? was uncertainty around that a part of the conflict? any lurkers know what the hell were talking about? yeah sorry OP to hjiack, the conversation snowballed. i was also drawn to the symbols here, my post is asking about an estranged connection to the moon

Lurkers all know what we're saying, my point is this: the brunt of the battle seems to have already passed, and that we have been given some sort of aid, whatever it may be, accidental or prophetic, either way- victory is in sight, don't let the desperate power plays fool you. All good men will ban together without call when they are needed most, this I know, but only if there are still great men left by the end. All you have to do is keep being a good human and live righteously, the rest will follow.

i appreciate the wise words anon. i like what you've said about worthy opponents and i hope you're right about it all. hopefully this all blows over and theres still time to discuss ideal toga lengths in the end. hope the conversation has been as insightful for you as it has been for me. when you double replied to my first post, just to mention/add on that you came up with the same thing too... dont forget that stuff. having that intuition/impulse, that authenticity and insistence. it always shines through, thats why this dialogue happened. may the silence keep singing to you, peace out
