GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Fun Topic: Mind Powers
Posted by: thefireball Jul 1 2010, 12:31 AM
Here's a random and fun topic. Let's use our imagination. If you could have a mind power - any in the world - what would it be? I only listed a few mind powers. Please choose from these or click other and specify below.
I hope this thread goes far for those of you who like to daydream like me! 
I voted teleport. So handy. I could teleport anywhere I had been before.

I chose other, and what mind power I would like to have is control over my rate of consciousness. I am a huge Alastair Reynolds fan, a novelist who writes epic space-operas - And in many of his books, specifically the Revelation Space Trilogy, There are a "sect" of humans known as Conjoiners who have extensive control over there consciousness. Which allows them to put themselves into a deep, coma like sleep if needed - Or, transversely - Heighten the rate at which there brain/conscience can transfer, control, and output information to the body. This in turn can allow them perform tasks at essentially inhuman speeds.
I would perceive the world around me moving extremely slowly, and my awareness and reflex levels would be way off the charts

Was gonna pick Pyro, but already got that skill (fireworks and explosives in the wrong hands) ... so umm reading minds!

Other: Stop Time at will

This is tough. But I would love to be able to really concentrate/boost IQ at will and perceive world from a new point of view (I guess from perspective of beings being light years more intelligent)...

I choose Ice. I have always chosen SubZero in Mortal combat!

Many nice ones in there, but I chose teleport. I love travelling, but not for the sake of travelling but to see other places and that would become so much easier if I could teleport!

Other: My mind would have the super power to allow me to play any song I ever heard just by listening to it once, and I would never forget the tabs, plus I'd have ultra-leet improvising & composing skills thanks to knowing all songs in the world in all styles ever created 
Oh well, teleport would be cool too if the above is not available

Control of time and space. So many mistakes in past to change..

Yes, the same here. I'd add like 10+ years of experience on my playing as well.
This topic is open to anything. It's using your imagination.
This are some awesome replies guys. Let's keep 'em coming!

I choose teleport. I hate the 5 hours that takes me to go to my girl every or every second weekend

Super-Divine-Über-Inhuman-Godlike-Malmsteen-Hendrix-Wylde-Gilbert-Guitar Skills, of course!

Funny topic!
This reminds me Heroes Series (from NBC tv).
I would like to control the "time"!
But this would be great as well

Interesting topic. Teleporting seems like a nice idea, but reading minds seems interesting too
Posted by: thefireball Jul 5 2010, 07:30 PM
Reading minds would be cool, but think how dangerous it could get.
Dude 1: Boy, I hate Dude 2. He's really annoying.
(Dude 2 reads Dude 1's mind) 
Dude 2: Why you little bum! (hits Dude 1) 
Dude 1: What was that for?!! 
Dude 2: For calling me a bum!!! 
Dude 1: I never said anything of the sort!! 
Dude 2: Oh yeah, well you were thinking it!!
Dude 1: And how would you know?! What, do you read minds or something? 
Dude 2: If you only knew!

Id like the ability to interfere with the world. Now this will be a annoying TL;DR explanation. Imagine being able to dissolve and reappear here and there (No teleporting as here and there is not a constant thing in this view as I'd have the ability to change where point X once was to point Y or even change what point X was.) To just exit your own body to think or to study the situation. Enter someone else's mind being able to plant your own views and study everything in depth. It is basically the concept of utter control of the material world. Of course this would drive most sane people insane as yeah nothing would be the same but people as your mind would influence almost everything.

I want to slightly change my mind power.
After hours of tossing up between some awesome powers like:
The power to retract your hair into your head at will.
The power to tell anyone what color underwear they’re wearing.
The power to walk super fast, at the pace most people run.
The power to fly, but only when inside the cabin of an airplane.
The power to travel in time but only five seconds forward every 24 hours.
The ability to instantly evacuate your bowels whenever you’re feeling too full.
I want the awesome super mind power...
The power to access Google at all times, wirelessly, from your head!
Exams, no prob, google!
What's that fact again, oh wait, google!
How did that guitar tab go again, google!
Unstoppable knowledge... except for... bored... oops pron site, ahh crap a virus, grr google!

I definitely go for Pyro. What an awesome gift to have.
You can set everything You dont like on fire!
For instance:
1) Politicians
2) The neighbours cat.
3) Every other guitar in the world except my own one's.
4) The studio where Stock/Aitkens/Waterman are doin their songs.
5) The headquarters of the Womens Lib (FI = Feministic Initiative) here in Sweden.
+ You can have a barbeque whenever You like !!
