Omnimancy Library of Questions

[LordArt]

The head of OmniNorth suggested that a book of questions(with answers) be put together from the ones answered online here and in emails. Mostly because they can be informative and interesting. THe idea here being instead of pawing through all the posts hoping to find something interesting or an answer to a question, that a list simply be made.

What I was thinking was making another public forum that simply has the appropriate question as the title, and the answer in the thread itself. What do you think?

(Obviously, for privacy reasons, the original asker is not going to be mentioned).


Also, this will hopefully be a prelude to a more up to date overview of Omnimancy being made public, rather than the one that makes it look like glorified energy working.

Truly I think a FAQ post which is updated semi-regularly would be simpler, I can see how that would pose a problem due to constant update and the thread getting immense. So I'm for the forum proposal or really anything you can get put together.

I voted no. Most people in this age are dipsticks. I don't recommend giving them that kind of information. Keep it to yourself unless you want to have to deal with challenges to your position and your ideology every other day.

[FireEssence]

Sorry if this gets the topic off-topic, but if it's merely made up of questions people ask/have asked him anyway that he answered in the first place, how much of it do you think could truly be dangerous to toss out?

[Naryx]

I don't think it would be -that- dangerous. I do think however that the Omnimancers might find the constant challenging of their standpoint rather annoying.

[FireEssence]

Oh ok, I can actually understand that ^_^

[Naryx]

I'm not -that- bad of a guy, you see? We do have certain basic things in common. I believe so, anyway.

I actually like this idea (this would be Storm, on a friend's computer btw..can't login for some reason).

Once I have internet too, I'm willing to help compile it if help is required/would be liked.

As far as people challenging our viewpoints go...I think that's always something Omni has thrived on, as a group and as a series of individuals, we learn and grow by having our beliefs, and our perceptions of perception challenged and questioned continuously.

Granted, when you've just spent 8hrs at work, or had a bad day in general, multiple debates on your belief system gets...annoying but yeah - overall, I feel it's a good thing for all concerned. So long as the questions/challenges are polite and not downright nasty or confrontational. After all, there is challenging someone's viewpoint and then there's challenging it with no real intent to listen or pay heed to the answer you get, regardless.

Which just wastes everyone's time and gets nobody anywhere aside from around in exasperated circles.

As far as it being dangerous goes...if I know the rest of the folks here, nobody is going to say anything on the forums or in PM or email, which they feel might be detrimental to tell the person for whatever reason(s). That has pretty much always been the way; and even though stuff slips out now and then that probably shouldn't, we live and learn.

So I vote 'yes', and kudos on the idea

Don't mean to be a pain but, what's the current status of this project? Is it already being worked on, being put aside until a later time when it can be better constructed, decided against, what?

[LordArt]

It's on hold til someone gets off their collective asses to actually do it.

People have lives and their priorities aren't to post things, myself included. I still haven't posted that new overview yet officially.

[FireEssence]

Ok, thank you. Didn't think it was gonna happen overnight but nothing more was mentioned so I was wondering what it's status was. *shrugs*

[Kaylara]

I like the idea. I know you will be discreet in what information you provide.

[Satsung]

I agree with Kaylara. It is not like you are going to post anything endangering your more important information. Where it may benefit you is that a good qualified person may see more clearly your stances.

A FAQ (so to say) should be the first place a new person goes (after the overview on the website). If they are not ready for it, they will disagree and leave (or be a blabing fool for a short period of time). However, if they are ready for it then they will read further.
