Zechariah takes a nice posture in an outside terrace, the north side of Central Square. He is somewhat battered of the recent developments, especially that of once again needing to run for his life from a place he thought was his, and having no financial resources in his command. He buys La Estancia Robusto with 7.5 of his remaining 10 EUR in coins, waiting for a new cash drop that is supposed to happen later today.If Music is wished, pick your own,
or take the Beethoven 9th.
Zechariah meditates. It is nothing new that it's difficult to understand what he is doing, since he himself has historically been able to do correct things without knowing the meaning - for instance that it is mandatory to consume UND items to gain wisdom, and that quality drinks indeed are more healthy and happy than water. Everything is different than the customs in the control system so well known to the Tavastians especially. The party is at a crossroads. This is not first or second time that everyone needs a break, the energies are so high. The whole town obviously knows by know what has happened (except that the rumors take the life of their own, as usual). What they do not know, is the purpose. Why would anyone with unlimited money, spend a great deal of his time and energy, trying to get the message through? And what is the message?The Universe is, fundamentally, mind. This is important to realise, because material (3D) understanding of the Universe (taught in 'science') is sorely lacking. Long time ago, the Infinite Creator wanted to experience world more deeply, so decided to split Itself to many Souls, with so-called 'pure polarities' so that, for instance, Zechariah has many character traits that are basically definitive, meaning that the others' progress in a certain trait can be assessed by comparison. Other traits are defined by someone else. If twin flames are a functional concept (they may be a bit idealised and demanding), Zechariah's twin flame has most of the traits as polar opposites, but not all. Both seem Conservative (or Zechariah's conservativity has been reassessed lately when he realised that so many girls are so beautiful, and Getting to Know stage is so sweet with all the eye games etc.)The number and quality of fucks one gives, is the single determinant of that entity's Power, because Power is in Mind. The following table illustrates the number of fucks received as a free time-based dividend per real-hour(, in CK - Universe):
L21 Emperor - 6000 fucks
L20 King - 4500 fucks
L19 Royal Prince - 3000 fucks
L18 Archduke - 2500 fucks
L17 Grand Duke - 2000 fucks
L16 Duke - 1500 fucks
L15 Prince - 1250 fucks
L14 Marquess - 1000 fucks
L13 Earl - 750 fucks
L12 Viscount - 500 fucks
L11 Baron - 400 fucks
L10 Knight - 300 fucks
L9 Great Wizard - 1500 fucks
L8 Doctor - 750 fucks
L7 Wizard - 400 fucks
L6 Master - 300 fucks
L5 Expert - 240 fucks
L4 Novice - 180 fucks
L3 Beginner - 120 fucks
L2 Stranger - 90 fucks
L1 Visitor - 60 fucks.
The Universe is commanded by
StorytellingLog[timestamp, log_id, operator, #fucks_given, text]. This makes it easy for anyone to see what is happening, and follow the links to more storytelling. The items ownership will be as before and Markka will be the quote currency in trades. Fucks will be exchangeable for a small quantity of Markka as well, because Time = Money.
Each hour, the fucks also spoil 10%. Hence, the number of them nears asymptotically 10*above_values. Fucks may be traded also, to gain a larger number to be given, for importance. The recording threshold is a single fuck now, but it will be raised so that the number of reportable things in StorytellingLog remains manageable. This is a master log of the whole universe, so writing to it becomes very costly in the future (which does not really matter since the game is playable without).
Universe is constructed from basic building blocks, and the first and most important one is - of course - Souls. For instance, Zechariah's Soul is eternal and consists of many devas, including GM, TMS, Voice, Joker, Moderator, etc. Then there is Zechariah's body, of course. Each body will have 1 char_id, but it's possible to store the House (Soul) stuff in dedicated accounts as well, as before. It is an interesting and profound task to construct the soul from parameters, but that has been done in Civilization series (see leader attributes). Each parameter takes value [0...7], although atm we use only [0...4]. There is stuff in the Design thread that gives some background info.
Then there are Items and Places (and Time). And Commands. Nothing else is really needed. The sentence structure is [[Attributes] Subject; [Attributes] Verb; [Attributes] Object; [Attributes] Way; [Attributes] Place; [Attributes] Time], so these correspond to [Self; Command; Soul/Item; Description; Place; Time].
Zechariah has arranged a very nice hotelroom party venue in his secret hideout (ask him!), complete with lots of wines in proper aerations and temperatures, snacks to pair with them, candles and incense, so that the conversation would not be disturbed by practicalities. (He always arranges things to accommodate visitors, since he has many fucks to give, and is terminally polarised to STO, meaning that he is lonely with all his power unless other-selves are willing to accept his goodness, which is not always easy.) He is also willing to join any other party that the good souls make happen. Zechariah is a sensitive guy and does not enjoy being alone when there is a party. (Retreating to castle for 3 weeks is a different thing, and also pleasurable when it's the time (and now it's not yet).)Back to the point: The Shift/Event/Harvest is upon us. The 3D Earth has already energetically transitioned to allow higher frequencies, and some starchildren have felt crazy things happening to them, and have received previously unknown powers (eg. Zechariah has suddenly become the top singer in the world, capable of imitating (almost) any vox humana performer or performance (rap included, beatboxing not (yet))). The Earth has been under darkness for so long, with the foremost feature being the monetary system that promotes scarcity. Zechariah has a better system, but it is required that other-selves use it, otherwise it has no meaning. Luckily there is plenty of time, since Zechariah does not intend to die, at least not before the Earth is subdued.
The Mission Intent of Zechariah continues to be the same: Enforcing the Galactic Codex. When done, everybody may live his/her life to the fullest, with no darkness control system that limits the growth and happiness. It is so different than the hell many of us were living that you don't even know.
Not sure if I'm on a team as I'm unaware if I am.
