Permalink || 2009-11-22 01:55 Why I joined the School: The School of War's first impression was a higher power waste-no-time community. Especially with its glorious leader, RedDawn, seemingly permanently petrified in an amatease in perfect bliss and firm superiority. Years later I found myself cocking my head about how many people still played this game and remembered the existence of the School of War and was surprised at its persistence. Connecting to this server I saw everything was proceeding as normal. Students were training on the poles and RedDawn was actually sitting this time (amazing!). Seto, who proved just as welcoming as the rest of them, introduced me to the Ventrilo server where I actually managed to delve deeper into the community and energized by the true nature and the obvious bond between its members longed for it myself.
How long have you been here: A couple days :(
Goals: Academic Integrity in philosophy and philosophical discussion, deeper connect with people from all walks of life, and understanding of my strengths and limitations and how they benefit and affect others.
Training:
Footwork:
Parry versus Red: Trained
Parry versus Yellow: Trained
Parry cut: Trained
Inducing Locks: Trained
Ranges: Trained
The Walk:
The Burst: 1&3 sec: Trained
The SideStep 3:
The Curve Step 3:
What makes you smile? Good natured jokes, making someone else smile, realization.
What activities make you lose track of time? Designing something I'm really interested in, playing in the School of War, playing JKA.
Who inspires you most? Um... Iceman... duh... Quintilian (A roman Centurion, the father of rhetoric)
What are you naturally good at? Making friends!
What do people typically ask you for help in? Computer stuff :S Reaching things up high (Sometimes I don't like being 6foot4.)
If you had to teach something, what would you teach? Philosophy
What would you regret not fully doing, being or having in your life?
What are your deepest values? Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control
What were some challenges, difficulties and hardships
you’ve overcome or are in the process of overcoming? How did you do it?
I struggle with acceptance and am quick to anger. Thinking about the School of War and the principles its students hold dear helps me, as well as the staring contest between Seto and Yami.
What causes do you strongly believe in? Connect with?
The Intelligent Design movement. Christianity.
If you could get a message across to a large group of people.
Who would those people be? What would your message be?
Follow evidence wherever it leads. Empty your tea-cup. Do not let your presuppositions close your eyes.

I would also enjoy teaching tactics.
