Is there a way to do a multi-way conversation?
It's super annoying that it doesn't seem to be possible to broadcast a message to two people, and have conversations involving more than just two people. I guess you can just relay between the three/four of you, but that's super annoying. Is there a workaround?

How is one's position (rank) calcuated?
The FAQ explains how points are won and lost but does not explain how one goes up or down in ranking. Intuitively, the more one wins, the higher one climbs but I would really appreciate a detailed understanding of how one's position is determined. I've seen players of extremely high rank with a relatively low percentage of wins.

Using CD as a tactic
So some CDs imo should not be counted in reliability rating. For example if there is only one option like destroying your unit.

Intriguing. So a concert is bit like a meal.

What's worst taste/sound?

Best taste/sound?

Can you taste sounds if you just think of them (and not actually hear them) ?

Really there is a constant flow of taste. Sort of how people go about their day hearing all sorts of noise, it just filters in as background. Constantly tasting things is the same, unless something startling happens, almost like a loud noise.

I have only recently (12 months or so) been able to diagnose this, and have not yet cataloged many things. While this does sound unusual that I would not notice it, it is like someone seeing the color purple. If no one else ever saw the color purple, how would you find out?

I heard some organ music a couple months ago, and it tasted terrible. The whole time I wanted to spit.

Depends on what you like for best. "Mustard" is a particularly spicy word, which isn't unpleasant.

No, I don't think so. There is sort of a feeble response, but I believe this is the brain falsely reacting to supposed known stimuli. Sort of like Pavlov's dogs. Every time you hear something, you expect to taste it. So when you think it, you are almost expecting to taste it.

Cool, i have never heard of that form KC. Do you think it has negative effects?

Does it make you see the world in a different light?
KingCyrus (511 D)
28 May 15 UTC
Not really. It is just another sense. While there is no distinct advantage, that I know of, it helps me to experience the world in ways others can't.

I also like to think of myself as the first of a long line of mutants ala X-Men. Bow before the next superior link in the evolutionary chain!!!
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))

Could it not give you a distinct advantage in face-to-face communication? It gives you another sense to judge what others are saying with.
KingCyrus (511 D)
30 May 15 UTC
Another sense, but one that it is hard to correlate to any specific data.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))

So someone's speech tasting bad isn't indicative of tone or intent? We interpret things that way with facial expression and posture, which is another sense, so I wonder whether it can't be done with taste.
KingCyrus (511 D)
30 May 15 UTC
I have found no correlation, no. Perhaps if I were to study synesthesia and my own experience with it much more closely, I could come to some sort of findings. Some way to link taste to anything. But unfortunately, I don't have time. :/
orathaic (1009 D(B))

Yes, you must go to the school for the gifted to properly train your mutant power ;)

I for one have recently discovered that i'm partially taste blind. For at least one set of bitter chemicals, which may have had lots of effects...

Actually, synesthesia has been linked to higher IQ and creativity.
