I recently picked up your reading recommendation, over my own.

33 strategies

@The Mind Assassin

It seems interesting enough too.

veritas · 03-13-2014, 10:45 AM

Elaborate.

'the art of...' by Greene

and have begun reading/learning.

veritas · 03-13-2014, 11:09 AM

What have you learned so far?

Rawn MD · 03-13-2014, 11:31 AM

I've just delved into it.

veritas · 03-13-2014, 01:37 PM

And?

Rawn MD · 03-13-2014, 01:46 PM

I became distracted applying for positions.

It seems up to the standard of 48 laws, and I am going to begin a more thorough reading tonight.

Are you up for another session in the near future?

As long as u waste 1 of your 5 posts on me a day, I deem it a success.

Thanks.

Also - note that in no way was this addressed or pertaining to you.

Wise Wiggles · 03-13-2014, 01:52 PM

how's the pyramid scheme coming along bud?

Rawn MD · 03-13-2014, 02:12 PM

@Le Wise Ways

it wasn't a pyramid scheme.

However, I did not actually go to said position bc of a misadventure that I posted about in disc, that was dismissed as a 'lie.'

Thanks for the inquiry though.

Wise Wiggles · 03-13-2014, 02:20 PM

"Dismissed as a lie"

Who's fault is that?

Rawn MD · 03-13-2014, 03:26 PM

Everyone, with the exception of me and a select few.

You people dismiss everything I say as a lie, despite proof and evidence.

I enjoy, and expect it at this point though.

veritas · 03-13-2014, 04:13 PM

Gregory. Perhaps you should use some of the tactics on this board.

homework:

what tactics of the laws and strategies would you use on this board, and how would you specifically?

Rawn MD · 03-13-2014, 04:29 PM

V - the reputation law is already been implemented; albiet incorrectly, but still effectively

the whole 'gaurd it with your life' thing...yeah.

and that is the trump law

however, I am doing my own social experiment if you will

I will talk further to you about it during out next session.

@The Mind Assassin

I am at the other hospital tonight and tommorrow night. so it can't be then.

Rawn MD · 03-13-2014, 07:05 PM

Fair enough @The Mind Assassin

Have you heard about 'The 50th Law"?

It's supposed to pick up where '48 laws' finishes, but....

has a special guest co-writer (not sure if he's so much as a writer, or informant.)

I am going to pick that up as well, for later reading though.

Ill probally be reading '50th law' prior to 'The Art of...'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, in the midsts of this type of reading, which I consider to be far more analytical and deep thinking, I have picked up more story-telling, light reading.

Now that I've finished the 'Mad Adam trillogy' by Margaret Atwood ('Oryx and Crake,' 'Year of the Flood' and 'Madd Adam')

I have picked up 'Doomed' by Chuck Palahnuik as well, which is a sequel to 'Damned.'

I didn't enjoy 'Damned' to the extent of 'Survivor' - still consider it my all-time favorite novel, only being rivaled by Atwood's 'Oryx and Crake'

or to the likes of 'Fight Club,' 'Haunted,' 'Choke,' ect...

however, I still feel a need to follow up on reading it, because I do enjoy his writing, stylistically if nothing more.

@Neighbor - I know your a fan of Palahnuik as well; the only remaining novels' of his I have yet to read are: 'Doomed,' 'Tell-All,' 'Stranger Than Fiction,' 'Invisible Monsters,' and 'Invisible Monsters Remixed.'

I began reading 'Invisible Monsters Remixed,' but the way it's wrote kinda threw me with the whole jump to chapter x. The continuity kinda had me at a loss. Plus, as with my original hesitation to reading the original 'Invisible Monsters' thematically its a bit too feminine - at least the portion I've read.

Have you read any of those listed as 'not yet read' though neigh?

Ill also tag @oats, and @Certain bc I know you both enjoy reading to an extent. So an opinion would be valid from either.

An opinion on what? Sorry that was a really long post
