Anylisis of the System

I have been playing a lot of Shogun 2 latley and it got me thinking abot the fantasy class system. That and this reacurring dream where I am on a train and there is this guy doing something increadibly stupic and obnocsious. I end up in the thought process of if only there was some way for me to kill him and then a lance appears in my hand like some kind of supernatural entity wants me to kill him as well. So I end up pircing in the heart. In the end the only thing I can think of is why is the weapon always a lance. Both of these got me to thinking about the system. For those of you that don't know the system it comes down to three types of people Combatants, Specialists formally known as Stealth Classes, and Magic Users. Then you have hybrids who try and do two or three of these ideas at the same time. That is not to say that a paladin is a hybrid. Paladins are primarily combatants they just use magic for the sake of agmenting their combat. A hybrid would be like a cleric. Clerics try to both fight people with weapons and blast people with magical energies. They are trying to do two things at the same time.

The conclution that I ended up at is that both Combatants and Spectialists split into three subcatigories. Combatants can be split into defensive, offensive, and shock troops. Defensive and offensive should be self explanitory. Shock troops are overly offensive. They are more brutal and more there to do damage to the moral of other side than actuall damage to the other side. Spectialists split into assassin, archers, and Riders for lack of a better term. Assassins are there to eliminate a selected target. They go in kill there target or acomplish their task and move on. Archers supply ranged support for the main army focus firing and eliminating targets. They also have low lvl scermishing ability. Riders would be the calvary of the army. They focus on hit and run tactics. Their greatest ability is speed and there job is to herd the people on the outside of the main force and drive them into the combatants. Magic users do not break down because they are all the same. They all bend the world around them to get the results that they want. The differences is the flavor of what they cast and how they gain their power. As for me I like to think of myself as an assassin.

Day Light Savings

Ok day light savings is another archaic practice that needs to stop. I see no current practical application for this practice. Honestly can anyone tell me why we still do this. what should happen is that we should meet this itiodic practace in the middle and set the clocks a head 30 mins or back 30 mins depending on which part of the cycle we are on and keep it that way for the rest of time. All we do is fool ourselves in thinking that we eather gain or losse an hour of the day. Seriously stop this archaic practice. Instead of everyone rejoicing when we gain an hour or complaining when we loss an hour we should just stop the noncense. Why can't people see that in the end it equals nothing. Everything about time is an illusion that we make up. Its like at this point it is just a joke that got old a long time ago. So lets stop this noncense it has gone on long enough.

Disillusionment

As a historian I know that it is foolish to think that you can choose a better time to live. The idea is that the best time to live would be one where the standard of living is the highest for the greatest number of people. To live in an era where the majority of people are poor peasant farmers are horrible living conditions. Unless of course you get off on that. The truth usually is that the best time to be living is the present. No one wants to believe this. People always think that there is a better time to live. What they tend to overlook is the condition of the common person. For this is your highest chance of what you would be if you were to some how find yourself transported into the past. Only the few would be lucky enough to be someone important.

All of this is brought about a current state disillusionment. It just seems like I'm living here for no reason and that I'm missing something or missed something in my life. All of my life seems to be nothing more than me waiting around for death with few goals. Is living a life of mild comfort and enjoying the company of trusted companions really that bad. It jsut seems like I do not fit well in the current world. That I should have been born some other time or some other place. When I started this post I had a better understanding of what I wanted to say but it looks like I lost my train of thought so I'm going to end it here.

Mornings

Ok so why is society still so obsessed with the morning. I understand where the practace comes from. People only had so much daylight to work with and could not do much without it. In the modern world why is it still this way. Get out of the dark ages we have electicity. The business world should begin around noon and end at like eight. This will make things a lot better for everyone. All that would be requried would be for people to change their way of life. Even if they did not they could still get up at the crack of dawn and enjoy their morning instead of rushing to work and waisting their day. Then people could also enjoy the night instead of having to go to bed at like ten. All the system creates is a division between the young and the old it does not really help anyone. The old go to bed earlie and get more sleep while the young stay up while the old are assleep and then they dont get as much sleep as the old and spend half the day half asleep. Then everyone gets mad when they spend half of their weekend sleeping. Who knows how things will change or if they will.

Lack of Sleep

Due to unforeseen circumstances at work I ended up getting five hours of sleep last night and it is three in the morning and I am not tired. There are a few reasons like I feel like I should go to bed. One, I have nothing better to do. The second society demands that I work on some kind of normality with the rest of them. This normaity being awake during some part of the morning and going to bed at night. The last one would be that it is good to have some kind of sleep scedual and mine tends twoard two in the morning +/- two hours and weaking up around noon. The thing is they say that the lack of sleep can drive a person insane. With my thought process as of late this could very well be true. The question is am I insane or is that just the ideas pushed on my thoughts threw society. Now what does it matter what society believes. Can they determine what is apporpriate human behavior. I say no they cannot. The only thing society does is protect the week. Plus the society that I live in I would not even call cognitive. Most of society is the equvalant of a mindless undead just roming around searching for the nearest source of pleasure in this hell. So when it comes to what society thinks well fuck them. The unwased masses are just lucky that there are enought of them to make a difference in this world.

Anyways there are probably two definittions of insanity. One being that of a danger to onself and or others. In that case I could be considered insane or have the capacity to become insane if I were to give up. but lets face it is there anyone out there to be considered others. The second would be Mental instability. This I do not think would fit. I think that society may be able to place a lable of insanity on me but that is because I am not a mindless undead. The fact is that I have the ability to see and thus able to view the world in its true colors. I would not call it a state of mental instabliity rather just a realization that is different than the main stream thought. Any ways like I said before it would be a good idea for me to go to bed for the sake of my sanity.

O children of the Night.
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now night arrives with her puple legion.
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams.
