it's just us

4:30 AM

I was created 3 years ago but the other 3 tups in our system are 8 years old (edited)

4:30 AM

been in the community for a long time

4:31 AM

it's less "presence imposition" though and more like an effect that should come with imposition in general

4:31 AM

feelin' like there's really someone there

I ask because I am curious as to the origin of the term.

both touch and visual imposition make it pretty well

4:31 AM

just us

Ah, you mean to say you came up with it yourselves.

since our visualization is poor but we mostly only do the visual part, we noticed the sense of presence is actually a really big deal

4:32 AM

even without the other senses to otherwise tell us one of the others is there, it still feels like they're there, and like we're not alone in that place

There was a guide a few years back that covered such a classification of imposition. I do not hear the term often, except that guide.

and since that's such a nice feeling to back up all the others I think it's the most important

yep, I recall mention of that in your switching guide

4:32 AM

moving your sense of presence elsewhere

even if your other imposition senses are bad, if you've got the sense of presence down it fills in all the gaps

4:33 AM

huh

4:33 AM

I guess those do go together

4:33 AM

never really connected them

That is an interesting connection to make.

I wouldn't say moving our sense of presence in imposition is the same as moving in/out of the body/"driver's seat" in switching though

4:34 AM

also that's only our own personal (logical and simple) symbolism for switching anyway

4:35 AM

did you ever participate much on the forum Data?

I did not. Host found it distasteful.

ok, we don't know you then

I do still have my account there from the few times I visited.

Host found IRC distasteful l0l

Lol

4:36 AM

That is where you might recognize us. That and the subreddit.

IRC is for chat and forum is for discussion imo

4:37 AM

subreddit is for newbie/not-advanced questions I'd say

4:37 AM

it's just an ocean of the same simple stuff being asked over and over

4:37 AM

'cus of how Reddit works (or doesn't work)

There was a brand of elitism in the forums that host found not helpful to the development of tulpa theories.

uhhhh

Though I do agree, the subreddit does contain mostly beginner questions.

sry got distracted

4:38 AM

uhh, idk where else you're gonna discuss new tulpa theory stuff than the forum..

I mostly do through my own personal networks, not through public discourse, though occasionally I do pop my head in.

o

4:39 AM

thought you meant like community tulpamancy

4:39 AM

yeah I guess if you have friends who are as into it as you

4:39 AM

our system is more interested in just kinda helping people

I do mean community tulpamancy, though through more personalized questioning of experiences and related data.

4:40 AM

Once ours was the same, though lately we have been more interested in real life affairs.

we 'been sticking around the forum for a little over 4 years really really actively just to help people who have questions

I merely ask questions when I sense there is something to be gathered .-. I do not provide as much assistance as I did circa 2015.

yeh I say we stuck around 'cus Lumi already had 3 tulpas before finding the forum

4:41 AM

and like it helped just kinda establish it as "a thing" but that was mostly it

4:42 AM

we coulda left 'cus our beliefs are pretty satisfactory at explaining things I'd say

4:42 AM

but we like helping people

It was that with us as well. I predate the tulpamancy community by quite a few years. It was extremely grounding to find a place to share experiences to normalize information.

@Kaliya in my experience "presence imposition" is a pretty common term

is it ??

It is?

awesome!

it is now

pretty sure we started it x3

Do you know when it became more of a popular term, @bduddy #Diana#?

well 2015 is probably when we first started saying it here and there

4:43 AM

we do have a lotta influence on the forum-going community

4:43 AM

that's when I started

4:43 AM

mostly on /r/tulpas

I never got why people say the forum is too stifling or bad for discussion or stuff like that

There was a guide in 2014 that used the term as well.

you just gotta throw your opinions in discussions

4:44 AM

like more than one thread

people say that?

stick around for a while and maybe it'll pick up weight..

4:45 AM

yes

4:45 AM

like Data

the discussion on the forum seems pretty good tbh

I am unsure as to the state of the forums currently. I frequent the discord servers now.

forum's pretty close to dead

Ah, that is my host's opinion. I share no such view.

we try'n keep it active but it's nothing compared to pre-2015

4:46 AM

There was a brand of elitism in the forums that host found not helpful to the development of tulpa theories. this @Srn347

4:46 AM

guess I missed the "elitism" part, I'm kinda tired

4:46 AM

elitism in general, or with the Guides/Articles?

4:46 AM

the GAT always came off as overly critical I think

4:46 AM

people often got offended

Not in general, mostly with the GAT iirc. It was 2015. That was a long time ago now.

GAT's totes ded

it's kinda understandable though, guides and articles could have a huge influence on a beginner's tulpa development and stuff

yeah they aren't unreasonable, just critical

4:47 AM

maybe we should join GAT actually, idk how dead it actually is

It is concerning that a group should be given reign over what information is deemed acceptable. Information should be freely available, with adequate guidance to navigate such information.

other people can participate in the approval process too

4:48 AM

and they do

4:48 AM

we do

4:48 AM

you just don't get to literally vote on its approval

4:48 AM

but at this point it'd probably be easy to apply

Most likely. I am unfamiliar with a good deal of what goes on in the community as of late.

anyways discussion was always the forum's strong point

4:49 AM

but all the regulars got bored and left by now

nods

the most active people are new members like Srn

It has been like that in the community. Older members do not often continue to participate.

not a lotta people enjoy sticking around just to help answer questions others have
