Meditating

2010-07-10T16:03:46Z

Artashes: /* Path Titles */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''

== Meditation ==
To meditate, drop a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]] on the ground, right click it, and choose "Nature -> Meditate". Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you have 20 skill, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.

Due to the flatness of the rug models, it is recommended to use them in a container, such as a bucket, to enable easier pickup on some tiles.

Notes from Rolf 
1. the counter is reset once per 24 hours to 0 and everyone gets 5 new chances 
2. You gain skill once per 30 minutes up to 5 times 
3. then every 3rd hour you get another chance 

== Paths ==

=== Starting and Following a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others.
Verified paths are:

The [[Path of Knowledge|Path of Knowledge]]

The [[Path of Power|Path of Power]]

The [[Path of Insanity|Path of Insanity]]

The [[Path of Love|Path of Love]]

The [[Path of Hate|Path of Hate]].

To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion player|champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.

For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].

The further along a path you are, the harder it becomes to get the question dialogs to appear. The chance to receive a question is determined by your meditation skill, and the quality/type of the rug you are using. The various rugs in order of increasing effectiveness are: [[Meditation rug]], [[Fine meditation rug]], [[Beautiful meditation rug]], and [[Exquisite meditation rug]]. If you fail to receive a question, you can simply keep meditating on the same special tile until you succeed; there is no need to move elsewhere first.

If you get a question wrong, the delay timer resets and you must wait out the full period over again. For example if you choose wrongly on the level 4 question, you have to wait another 6 days (real time) before you can try again.

=== Leaving a Path ===

If you have chosen a path, you now have the option Nature -> Leave path. This brings up a dialog that says: "Select quit to stop following this path. The result is immediate and dramatic".

If you select Quit, you get this message: "You decide to stop pursuing the path of knowledge."

=== Path Leaders ===

Once you have reached level 3 in your chosen path, you will have a new option Nature -> Path leaders. This brings up a dialog that says "You consider the local leaders of the path:". "Local" here means the server you are currently on.

Once you reach level 4, your own name appears on this list.

Leaders in paths are able to enlighten others up to their own level - 3. For example a level 9 can raise another up to level 6. (Or, a level 9 can advance a level 6 to level 7?) The leader must activate their rug for the option.

== Messages ==

'''You start meditating.''' You start meditating obviously.

'''You recently meditated here and need to find new insights somewhere else.''' After a ''successful'' meditation in a tile, you need to move 10 tiles in one direction to meditate again when you get this message or you won't gain any skill. Note that you can still join a path or get your question after meditating even if you receive this message, so it can be safely ignored if you aren't looking for skill.

'''You fail to relax.''' You failed starting your meditation, try again.

'''This is indeed a special place.''' You have found a special tile that belongs to a path. (No message on special tiles of the path of insanity.)

'''You decide to start pursuing the insights of the path of knowledge''' Message you get if you choose yes in a path dialog (see above).

'''You still need to let your progress sink in for several hours / days / more than a week / a few weeks''' After meditating again on a special tile (after choosing path dialog) you get this message on top of the recent meditation message. It tells you how much time you will have to wait until you get your next path question.

'''You gain no inspiration here for your own path.''' If you meditate on a special tile that is on a path other than the one you have chosen, you will receive this message.

'''You should return here when you have become better at meditating.''' You have found a "special tile" but do not have the required skill to start a path.

'''You have hard time to focus and no question comes to you. You probably need higher meditation skill.''' You need more meditating skill if you want to get the question.

'''You feel invigorated.''' A random 99 % Water, 99 % Food and 50 % Nutrition boost.

'''You fall into a trance.''' Your attempt is successful. Don't move or you will interrupt the action.
You will get one of the following meditation messages while you are waiting for the meditation to finish:

[[Category:Players]]

=== Current ===

Artashes is the founder and mayor of [[Elysian Fields]] on the Freedom server, but can often be found travelling the map as he is a keen hunter.

Since coming to Freedom, he has been much more active in community projects than previously, having taking part in two large projects since the map opened, the [[Cave Canal]] and [[Freedom Market]].

As of the beginning of November 2009, he is acting as the author/publisher for [http://www.wurmonline.com/freedom-isles Freedom News] on the Wurm website, and can be sent contributions [http://www.wurmonline.com/submit-freedom-news here].

He was for a while between August 2009 and May 2010 a [[Moderator|CM]] on the Freedom server, but has since relinquished this role.

=== Past history ===

Artashes first came to Wurm under a different name in a very early map in Jan/Feb 2004, and stayed for some months before disappearing again for a couple of years. It is one of his great regrets that he was not around for the beginning of Gold 1 in 2006, as he returned to Wurm in October 2006.

In gold 1, he briefly had a homestead in the far SW of Home, before joining [[Mist]] when the new islands were created at the millenium. He was once again inactive at the time of the [[Wurmageddon]].

For the first two years of gold 2 he had a homestead called Well of Souls in the far SE of JK Home, and apart from a couple of months here and there, was relatively active all through that period, before moving to Freedom on the day it opened.

Artashes:

[[Category:Babel/A]]
[[Category:Players]]

=== Current ===

Artashes is the founder and mayor of [[Elysian Fields]] on the Freedom server, but can often be found travelling the map as he is a keen hunter.

Since coming to Freedom, he has been much more active in community projects than previously, having taking part in two large projects since the map opened, the [[Cave Canal]] and [[Freedom Market]].

As of the beginning of November 2009, he is acting as the author/publisher for [http://www.wurmonline.com/freedom-isles Freedom News] on the Wurm website, and can be sent contributions [http://www.wurmonline.com/submit-freedom-news here].

He is also a [[Moderator|CM]] on the Freedom server since 22nd August 2009.

=== Past history ===

Artashes first came to Wurm under a different name in a very early map in Jan/Feb 2004, and stayed for some months before disappearing again for a couple of years. It is one of his great regrets that he was not around for the beginning of Gold 1 in 2006, as he returned to Wurm in October 2006.

In gold 1, he briefly had a homestead in the far SW of Home, before joining [[Mist]] when the new islands were created at the millenium. He was once again inactive at the time of the [[Wurmageddon]].

For the first two years of gold 2 he had a homestead called Well of Souls in the far SE of JK Home, and apart from a couple of months here and there, was relatively active all through that period, before moving to Freedom on the day it opened.

=== Titles ===

==== Current skill titles ====

As at 12th December 2009, 27 skill titles (including one at 90, and eight at 70)

== Description ==

''A sturdy one-masted merchant ship with a flat bottom.'' ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cog_%28ship%29 Wikipedia Entry])

A medium difficulty ship, the cog requires fewer sails but more wooden materials than the [[corbita]] and is harder to create. One large advantage it has over the similarly sized corbita is that the first passenger to board is put into the [[crows nest]], giving them a great view of the surrounding area.

You will need 22 [[Mind_logic|Mind Logic]] to be able to ride it.

== Vessel details ==
*Passengers: 1 Captain + 8 crew
*Maximum speed: 31.48 km/h (solo, with a [[gale]] in the back)
*Maximum speed: 35(?) km/h (full crew)
*Hold Capacity: >20.000 kg
*Holds 100 items.
*Size: 5 tiles by 2 tiles (?)
*Height: 40 dirt from water level to deck(?)
*819.84 kg of dye is required to paint a cog

Dye

2009-12-05T19:09:27Z

Artashes: /* Usage */ Cog dye requirement

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Alchemy]] / [[Natural substances]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==
Dye is used to paint items and walls.

== Method ==
#Put substance in inventory.
#Put water in container.
#Activate substance.
#Right click on water in container, select create/misc/dye/colour
=== Tools Required ===
:* [[Jar]]
:* [[Small bucket]]

=== Items Required ===
:* [[Woad]]
:* [[Zinc lump]]
:* [[Copper lump]] or [[Metal scrap|copper scrap]]
:* [[Water]]
:* [[Cave bug]] [[cochineal]]
:* [[Scorpion]] [[cochineal]]
:* [[Tannin]] and [[iron lump]] or [[iron scrap]]

=== Colors ===
* '''Black''' - [[Tannin]] and [[iron lump]]/[[iron scrap|scrap]] Difficulty 40 (hardest dye to make)
* Blue - [[Woad]]
* Green - [[Copper lump]] or [[metal scrap|copper scrap]] minimum 0.80 kg
* Red - [[Cave bug]] or [[scorpion]] [[cochineal]]
* White - [[Zinc lump]] or [[metal scrap|zinc scrap]]

== Notes ==
:* Resulting [[dye]] will have three color values: red, green, and blue.
:* R=255 G=255 B=255 is pure white.
:* Dye may be combined and the values will average out (although they will be about 2 points closer to grey across the board).
:* The higher the quality is, the brighter and less grey the color will be.
:* Dye and water cannot be mixed to make a paler dye.
:* The more difficult colors can not be made until after making some of the easier colors. Start with green, or maybe blue.
:* To get rid of unwanted dye, just right-click and select "[[Pour]]" (don't worry, it won't leave a stain).
:* When making dye with metal lumps, there is no need to [[heat]] them up first.
:* The [[quality]] of the [[cochineal]] does not affect the success chance when creating red dye.
:* If failing to make green dye using a copper:
::* Lump, a copper scrap of the same mass is created.
::* Scrap, the scrap is destroyed.

=== Usage ===
# Activate [[dye]]
# Right click on item, select Paint

Paintable items include: building walls, chests, barrels, buckets, signs, carts, catapults, pottery, lanterns, statues, and ships. The amount of dye used depends on the item being painted:

[[Category:Players]]

=== Current ===

Artashes is the founder and mayor of [[Elysian Fields]] on the Freedom server, but can often be found travelling the map as he is a keen hunter.

Since coming to Freedom, he has been much more active in community projects than previously, having taking part in two large projects since the map opened, the [[Cave Canal]] and [[Freedom Market]].

As of the beginning of November 2009, he is acting as the author/publisher for [http://www.wurmonline.com/freedom-isles Freedom News] on the Wurm website, and can be sent contributions [http://www.wurmonline.com/submit-freedom-news here].

He is also a [[Moderator|CM]] on the Freedom server since 22nd August 2009.

=== Past history ===

Artashes first came to Wurm under a different name in a very early map in Jan/Feb 2004, and stayed for some months before disappearing again for a couple of years. It is one of his great regrets that he was not around for the beginning of Gold 1 in 2006, as he returned to Wurm in October 2006.

In gold 1, he briefly had a homestead in the far SW of Home, before joining [[Mist]] when the new islands were created at the millenium. He was once again inactive at the time of the [[Wurmageddon]].

For the first two years of gold 2 he had a homestead called Well of Souls in the far SE of JK Home, and apart from a couple of months here and there, was relatively active all through that period, before moving to Freedom on the day it opened.

Signature

2009-10-09T10:25:32Z

Artashes: /* Pattern */ 8 letter 70-79

Certain [[item]]s carry the '''signature''' of their creator if the item is of at least 20 [[QL]]. Higher QL has a tendency toward giving a clearer signature. Unclear signatures have some letters of the name replaced by a dot. For example, '''[[User:Notch|Notch]]''' could be '''.o..h'''.

==Pattern==
The letters of the signature that appears are based on the length of the maker's name and the quality of the item. All names of the same length have letters appear in the same positions for the same quality range.

Meditating

2009-09-29T14:32:30Z

Artashes: /* Titles */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''

== Meditation ==
To meditate, use a [[meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.

== Paths ==

=== Starting and Following a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.

To join a path you need to have 15 Meditation Skill.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.

For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].

=== Path of Insanity ===
''Generally found in mines.

'''2nd Question'''

How come some people are rich and some are poor?

*It is natural
*Life is unfair
*Some people are unlucky
*There are not enough resources
*Who knows?

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "Too sane."

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You feel certain that this is right."
"Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Initiate of the path of insanity!"

'''3rd Question'''

Who has the most control of my fate?

*I have
*People around me
*The stars
*Natural Laws
*The government

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "Too sane."

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You nod to yourself. Of course."
"Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Disturbed of the path of insanity!"

'''4th Question'''

If I win the lottery, what determined it?

*Number of the ticket
*Person who pulled the ticket
*Simple luck
*Events leading up to the draw
*World history?

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: (missing)

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You try to pat yourself on the back."
"Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Crazed of the path of insanity!"

Meditating

2009-09-28T20:17:27Z

Artashes: /* Path of Knowledge */ 5th question

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''

== Meditation ==
To meditate, use a [[meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.

== Paths ==

=== Starting and Following a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.

To join a path you need to have 15 Meditation Skill.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.

For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].

Meditating

Artashes: /* Messages */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''

== Meditation ==
To meditate, use a [[meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.

== Paths ==

=== Starting and Following a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.

To join a path you need to have 15 Meditation Skill.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.

For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].

Starvation

2009-09-22T15:00:47Z

Artashes: Added lowest fat layers

Starvation is the state entered into after losing all of your fat reserves or layers. You gradually lose fat layers by fasting without keeping your food bar above 84% for a period of time. Once you have used all of your fat layers up you will no longer be able to fast and your food bar will be allowed to drop to 0%. To reverse this loss of fat, stay above 84% food bar for awhile by eating food such as [[meal|meals]], [[stew|stews]] or [[casserole|casseroles]].

Fasting usually occurs at 6% - 8% remaining food bar and you will recieve the following message in your event log: "Your hunger goes away as you fast.". Each fast will reduce your nutrition by 20% to a minimum of 10% at which, it cannot drop any lower.

As you become able to feed yourself to 100% food bar in game, you will become "[[Player_status_effect|full]]", which means your food bar is over 84%. Over time, being "full" generates fat reserves on your character which, currently, can be only be observed by having a fellow player right click and examine you. It will state how much fat you have, which can be one of the following:

*only skin and bones
*very thin
*a bit under nourished
*normal build
*well defined
*good reserves of fat
*extremely well nourished

It has been confirmed that starvation *will not kill you* as of yet, but this could be changed at a later date.

If you meditate on a special tile that is on a path other than the one you will chosen you will receive this message.

== Paths ==

=== Starting and Following a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.

To join a path you need to have 15 Meditation Skill.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.

For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible answers.

Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.

For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible answers.

Message you get if you choose yes in a path dialog (see below)

After meditating again on a special tile (after choosing path dialog) you get this message on top of the recent meditation message. You can only meditate every 12 hours on a special tile.
*You gain no inspiration here for your own path.
If you meditate on a special tile that is on a path other than the one you will chosen you will receive this message.

== Paths ==

=== Starting and Following a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.

For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible answers.

=== Path of Insanity ===
''Generally found in mines.

'''2nd Question'''

How come some people are rich and some are poor?

*It is natural
*''Life is unfair''
*Some people are unlucky
*There are not enough resources
*Who knows?

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "Too sane."

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You feel certain that this is right."
"Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Initiate of the path of insanity!"

'''3rd Question'''

Who has the most control of my fate?

*I have
*People around me
*''The stars''
*Natural Laws
*The government

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "Too sane."

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You nod to yourself. Of course."
"Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Disturbed of the path of insanity!"

'''4th Question'''

If I win the lottery, what determined it?

*Number of the ticket
*Person who pulled the ticket
*Simple luck
*Events leading up to the draw
*World history?

=== Path of Knowledge ===

'''2nd Question'''

What is knowledge?

*Everything I have seen
*Lies are the truth
*Commonly accepted facts
*''Information that I have accepted as a fact''
*Applied experience

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "You don't feel that sense of revelation. The answer is probably too obvious."

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You think 'I am on to something'. Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Initiate of the path of knowledge!"

'''3rd Question'''

What best constitutes a fact?

*Experience
*''Anything I accept as the truth''
*Logically verified information
*I trust nothing
*What a lot of people say

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "You feel that the answer contains holes."

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You think 'That must be it' Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Eager of the path of knowledge!"

'''4th Question'''

Is there any absolute truth?

*Everything we experience is true
*''Only what I decide to see within me''
*No
*It is a joke
*What people decide

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: <not known>

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You think 'That makes sense' Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Explorer of the path of knowledge!"

=== Path of Power ===
''Confirmed to be found in high places.

'''1st Message'''
(Forgot to write this one down)

'''2nd Message'''

If the path of power contains the truth or simply is the figment of someones imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind:

What is the ultimate purpose of power?

*To become insanely rich
*To dominate other creatures
*To get away with everything
*To enjoy the small things in life
*To achieve personal freedom

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "You need something more clear to light the path."

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You think 'I am on to something'. Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Initiate of the path of power!"

=== Path of Nature ===

=== Leave a path ===

If you have chosen a path, you now have the option Nature -> Leave path. This brings up a dialog that says: "Select quit to stop following this path. The result is immediate and dramatic".

'''Others'''
*You recently meditated here and need to find new insights somewhere else.
You need to move 10 tiles in one direction to meditate again when you get this message. Note that you can still join a path after meditating even if you receive this message, so it can be safely ignored.
*This is indeed a special place.
You have found a special tile that belongs to a path.
*You decide to start pursuing the insights of the path of knowledge
Message you get if you choose yes in a path dialog (see below)
*You still need to let your progress sink in for several hours
After meditating again on a special tile (after choosing path dialog) you get this message on top of the recent meditation message. You can only meditate every 12 hours on a special tile.
*You gain no inspiration here for your own path.
If you meditate on a special tile that is on a path other than the one you will chosen you will receive this message.

== Paths ==

=== Starting and Following a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate."

For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible answers.

=== Path of Insanity ===
''Generally found in mines.

'''1st Message'''
(missed to write it down :( someone fill in, please)

'''2nd Message'''

If the path of insanity contains the truth or simply is the figment of someones imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind:

How come some people are rich and some are poor?

*It is natural
*''Life is unfair''
*Some people are unlucky
*There are not enough resources
*Who knows?

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "Too sane."

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You feel certain that this is right."
"Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Initiate of the path of insanity!"

'''3rd Message'''

If the path of insanity contains the truth or simply is the figment of someones imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind:

Who has the most control of my fate?

*I have
*People around me
*''The stars''
*Natural Laws
*The government

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "Too sane."

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You nod to yourself. Of course."
"Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Disturbed of the path of insanity!"

'''4th Message'''

If the path of insanity contains the truth or simply is the figment of someones imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind:

If I win the lottery, what determined it?

*Number of the ticket
*Person who pulled the ticket
*Simple luck
*Events leading up to the draw
*World history?

=== Path of Knowledge ===

'''1st Message'''

'''2nd Message'''

What is knowledge?

*Everything I have seen
*Lies are the truth
*Commonly accepted facts
*''Information that I have accepted as a fact''

'''3rd Message'''

What best constitutes a fact?

*Experience

=== Start a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

You must wait for a certain amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. You need to wait 12 hours between the first and second step, <speculation> and the time doubles for each step beyond that </speculation>. You can only follow 1 path.

'''1st Message'''

As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of knowledge? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.

'''1st Message'''
(Forgot to write this one down)

What is the ultimate purpose of power?

*To become insanely rich
*To dominate other creatures
*To get away with everything
*To enjoy the small things in life
*To achieve personal freedom

If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "You need something more clear to light the path."

If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You think 'I am on to something'. Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Initiate of the path of power!"
