Talk:Meditating

Data about skill: after starting to meditate, there is a check at the 4-second mark. If you fail, the meditating fails: "you fail to relax". If you succeed, you get one of the meditation messages, a small amount of skill and the meditation continues. At the end of the meditation timer you sometimes get skill; this is about 10x the amount that you get for passing the relaxation check. I currently (skill~5) get skill every time for the relaxation check, and only some of the time at end-of-timer. [I think most of the information regarding this skill should be here, in the skill page, not the item page] Urman 21:17, 15 September 2009 (CDT)

Rolf mentioned in IRC that you can increase skill to 20 without following a path. He also said skillgain is higher when following a path. Mulhadrian 14:26, September 17th 2006 (UTC)

A couple of things I am wondering about:

Does the skill make success at meditating easier? do you have to be a certain skill to progress along the path? Then there is the big question of course, what does meditating achieve? can you be asked more than one question on the same tile? What happens if you pray at a special place for another path?--Uzetaab 10:20, 20 September 2009 (CDT)

Not a special tile message

I got the message "May your mere appearance change the course of events?" but it is not a knowledge tile, but is listed as such. I logged an alt in, went to the same tile and got a generic message. PentaxPilot 14:17, 18 September 2009 (GMT)

I was about to say the same thing about this message: "Should children really be allowed to sort out their indifferences themselves?" I suspect that these questions are just random and the only valuable questions are ones that you have to answer. Both question types probably come from the same database of questions too. --Uzetaab 09:42, 20 September 2009 (CDT)

Heh figured they are either for filler, or to give you something to ponder before facing the actual question. --Klaa 19:48, 18 September 2009 (CDT)

Same thing with "Are there people who are soulless?". No special message, next attempt gets a message from the other list. I say Fluff and Filler. Othobrithol 11:19, 21 September 2009 (CDT)

I removed the knowledge special tiles section. I had almost every single one of those messages on insanity tiles. --Manny 06:23, 22 September 2009 (CDT)

Putting all the answers here?

Do we actaully want to put the answers on this wiki? Or shall we leave it for people to work out? Drega 12:09, 20 September 2009 (GMT)

I say we should, Drega. Maybe we can choose another path once we finished one (just a guess). --KaiH 07:18, 20 September 2009 (CDT)

The people in k chat on freedom seem to be having a lot of fun working it all out & updating the wiki. My vote is to put all the info in the wiki too. --Uzetaab 09:42, 20 September 2009 (CDT)

We absolutely should put the answers up here. If somebody wants to figure them out for themselves, they can choose not to look. --thorgot 10:44, 20 September 2009 (CDT)

I do not think the answers should be on the wiki, it's the only interesting part of the skill and doing so would take all the fun out of it.

Maybe put a spoiler warning at the top of the page or section so people can choose. Jup 08:24, 23 September 2009 (CDT)
