Timelords Log of Everything

[Mat Ethers]

It's Timelord's log of everything with everything inside to see the world around you this log's the perfect guide. (sorry I just had to get that out of my system).

Well this is my log it's main purpose is to motivate me to get of my lazy butt and do something. Making things public and out there in the open gets me motivated. Pretty much because I don't want to be seen as a hypocrite.

Now be warned this might end up containing my random rants about weather and other topics... It's just the way I work. I may even code myself secret messages into the logs... hey don't laugh I've done stranger things. You should see my progress diaries on my Idea's for stories, and other things basically my theory book. I have ultraviolet reactive invisible inks over the top of meaningless paragraph.

It's not because I'm paranoid. It's because I just feel like doing it. Almost like practice for if I ever did have to hide something.


Anyway enough of my random ranting (oh be prepared for a bit of that too) anyway I shall be entering my forst entry tomorrows. So until then adios amigos.

This is where I will list my idea's in the chronological order thy appear in my log.
IDEAS:
1) Similarisation
2) Trait Filter
3) Anti Vamp additional shield.
4) Key Finder

Day One:

Psionics

Well today I think I managed to make my first actual PsiBall. The other times I have attempted (before I started the log) a) I wasn't really trying because I couldn't focus on the visualisation (very unusual for me) and b) I was trying to visualize everything. This time I tried a method I had heard about called conceptualisation... and it worked. All I did was... well it's hard to explain, instead of imagining it visually I did a little bit of that but basically just had the whole idea in my head.
All of a sudden I started feeling a heat in my hands which slowly got warmer and warmer (I hadn't even imagined were to get the energy from so as for that bit I have no idea) then I told it to stay there took my hand away ran my hand back through where it was and within a 10cm (3.5"ish) area my hand went from cool to warm to cool. After that I got excited and it disappeared.

Analysis of Weird things:

PsiBall was hot without me telling it to be.
Option A: It just happened to be hot.
Option B: I got the energy from somewhere hot without knowing it.
Option C: This is just the beginning of me feeling Psi eventually I will feel it differently.
Option D: My subconscious made it hot... On the Board (Now Closed) about your "Element" someone brought up a psychological connection with certain energy types. Maybe I am subconsciously connected to heat. This is a possibility, as when I approach the point of Astral Projection (never actually APed) my whole body begins to feel as though it's moving like water or heat haze/waves.

Well that's all for today.

Day 1 (Again):

Okay all It's still day one but I've had an idea.

IDEA:

Now there are heaps of different ways to control the energy right. Now this is just an idea but would it work.

I call it Similarisation but you can call it whatever you want. Soinstead of conceptualising or visualising could you not Similarize? In other words make similarities between everyday objects and your construct.

Such as:
Taking the filtering properties of Polarized sunglasses they let the good stuff in but keep ALL the bad stuff out.
Taking the lighter-than-air properties of a Helium Balloon.

There are many more better examples of "Similarizing" I just can't think of them right now.

Oh another thought, in using objects that are similar to the purpose of the construct would it be easier to bind them? E.G: Binding an energy filtering construct that is similar (as stated above) to sunglasses, to sunglasses.

DAY 2)

IDEAS:

Trait Filter

Okay now this one has a lot of possible applications. It is a modification of the cloaking shield. Now everybody knows that the cloaking shield makes you less noticeable, now what if we program a shield that would make our bad traits/habits less noticeable or even if we did that in combination with making our good traits MORE noticeable.
Now this could have many possible uses, if you were a poker player you could hide your tell, or maybe you just want a little boost in the popularity rankings?
So most of you now might be thinking, "Ah but everybodies opinion on good and bad traits is different", well this is true but what if we programmed the shield to filter for every individual giving the shield TP abilities that allow it to pick up on each individuals opinions of good and bad traits and have it filter for each individual observing you.


The additional anti-vamp shield

Now I have been reading a bit about tricks in combat, and one that I have noticed it attaching a minor vamp-construct to the base of one of your shields, which will slowly suck out it's energy eventually leaving you with a useless or broken shield. Now in the past people way have used constructs to search out, find and eliminate these vamps, but what if you made your outer most shield merely a layer of energy that didn't stop other energy it merely did nothing but be there. Your opponent/attacker would send out there little vamp and it would be sucking the energy out of nothing, well nothing useful at least.
You could increase this effect by making it really thin hard to vamp energy that automatically recharged itself from ambient energy, or even better recharged itself from a) The Vamping construct or b) you attackers shield.

So what's everyone think of my ideas? Feal free to reply I don't mind having a open log.

[Fearn]

I think I might die! I love your theories.

(On Psionics)
1) I think your sub-c just made it hot. There may not be any rhyme or reason for it (to you) but to your sub-c it makes perfect sense.
(On Similarisation)
2) This is basically the same as visualization. You make comparisons between like things. A mirror shield is a perfect example: mirrors reflect light, mirror shields reflect psi.
3) I think that it would help binding. If your sub-c relates these two things, then it would make sense to stick the construct in the object.
(On anti-vamp shield)
4) This is a wonderful idea! You could also give it some programming...to do something (like flash many different colours, and make the sound of a gong, or to ping the vamp with little electric shoks). Then when the construct as cracked the construct and start sucking in the energy, it was for nothing. ;D
That would be insanely frustrating!

These are some good theories...keep 'em coming!

[Mat Ethers]

I like your ideas with the anti-vamp shield I had just had it as a really basic sort of thing but that extra bit makes it a lot cooler.

Also what do you think about the trait filter? It's the one that I like I'm just not sure about how possible it is.

Day 2 (again):

IDEA:

Key finder - Bind a simple construct to your keys (or some other commonly lost item) that will tell you where they/it are/is when you search for your keys.

Progress:

APing:

Well I think today I've finally done it. I tried a mp3 I got somewhere on the site (I can't remember where I will post it when I remember which one it is).

I had been listening to it for a while then all of a sudden I started get a feeling like when you go on a roller coaster (weightlessness followed by extra weight like dropping then rising) then I realised it went in time with my breathing. Anyway this went on for what felt like ages. and after that what felt like a second passed and I "woke up" I looked at my PSP (what I was listening to the mp3 on) and realised that nearly an hour had passed and I was 20 minutes into the mp3 again.

What happened in the time between I have no idea all I know is that just before I "woke up" I saw this weird mess of what looked like worms (well they didn't look like worms but the behaved like them) swirling mid-air in front of me hey were white on a black background. This scared me so much that I was jerked back to reality.

Not sure if it was an actual AP but the weird tingles before felt like nothing I've felt before.
