Ladies and Gents, I'd like to take this opportunity to provide a quick Link to my Deviantart Gallery. I've been very... writey, for a lack of a better word, and have been updating it with a lot of stuff. The most recent pieces you'll see is a pair of Allegories I wrote, and, of course, the beloved Magipedia. Well,the parts I was able to find in the Royal Library, at least ;)So, go check it out!
And also, so I don't look like I wrote this post only for my own selfish gain... here's a few updates from CDP:
Since we SERIOUSLY need one more female voice actor for our game (To play the part of everyone's favorite ninja girl, Dimona!), I'm going to make a bit of a deal with you all. I am going to offer a REWARD to anyone with the guts to step up and take this job. At the moment, it's 6:28 PM and I am sitting happily at home, so I still have to talk with the team about what this reward will be. Will post later once we get that. If you're interested, contact us at eternitysendrecruiting@gmail.com
Also, since Eternity's End's release date is probably going to end up sometime during the summer, we may have time to put in some nice CGI cutscenes. But we need the software and experience to do so. Right now, we have Mmykle in charge of that, but I'm sure he won't mind having a bit of help. If you'd care to donate any software program that can render CGI animations (Like 3ds Max, or Maya [Maya CAN make animations, right?]), and/or already have these programs, as well as some experience in using them, and would like to do these cutscenes for us, once again, contact us at eternitysendrecruiting@gmail.com
Oh, and also... The Magipedia. Check it out above at my dA gallery, or head to Our official site and check it out there.

5/18 The Apology pgs 61-70
For the third time in a row, the assignment is as follows:
Mark the text by highlighting or underlining two sentences that strike you as interesting and/or directly significant for the trial. Directly significant for the trials means something that can be used by the prosecution or the defense to make their case.
ON YOUR BLOG (You should also print this out and keep it with your notes)
Indicate one sentence that you highlighted or underlined (give page number and section number) and write a short paragraph (at least 4 sentences) that explains why you underlined it or highlighted it. Be prepared to share this in discussion.
"But I suggest, gentlemen, that the difficulty is not so much to escape death, the real difficulty is to escape from wickedness, which is far more fleet of foot." (Page 67, section 39a)
I rather like this quote. Socrates expressed several times throughout this reading that he did not take death as a bad thing, since nobody really knew much about it. However, Socrates has experienced suffering several times over, and thus he knows much more about it. Plus, one experiences wickedness in his life more often than death.
END OF LINE.
Now, the obligatory CDP update:
If you haven't done so yet, check out The Magipedia. We worked really hard trying to get it up, and it's quite a good read.

"Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two."

Today's assignment is the same as yesterday's, but in case you forgot...
Mark the text by highlighting or underlining two sentences that strike you as interesting and/or directly significant for the trial. Directly significant for the trials means something that can be used by the prosecution or the defense to make their case.
ON YOUR BLOG (You should also print this out and keep it with your notes)

Hmm... I picked quite a long one. It starts page 55, section C, and ends slightly after section E. Please forgive my for not typing it out, but it'll be hard to discriminate quote from assignment XD
Anyhow... I rather like this section. It shows his determination towards his god-given mission. However... I wouldn't use this in the trial. It could easily be taken the wrong way as a sign of defiance to the law.

5/16 The Apology
Today's assignment:
Mark the text by highlighting or underlining two sentences that strike you as interesting and/or directly significant for the trial. Directly significant for the trials means something that can be used by the prosecution or the defense to make their case.
ON YOUR BLOG (You should also print this out and keep it with your notes)
Indicate one sentence that you highlighted or underlined (give page number and section number) and write a short paragraph (at least 4 sentences) that explains why you underlined it or highlighted it. Be prepared to share this in discussion.
Let me see...Page 44, section 21d: "Well, I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance"
I underlined this because it shows not only how humble Socrates is, but how conscious he is of making sure he does NOT mislead anyone (contradictory to what many accuse him of). While other people will go on ranting about something they only have half a mind about, Socrates is very careful with what he says. If something is fact, he will clearly state it as such, and if something is his personal opinion or assumption, he will clearly state that as such. He does not claim to know anything, but instead points out holes in other people's thinking, and giving them a new point of view.
END OF LINE.
*Sigh.* I'm really disappointed that we're finally back to Plato and Socrates, and I have so little to say. Ah, well. Time for the obligatory copy-and-pasted CDP update:

5/15 Pericles Funeral Oration
It's been a while, eh? Haven't posted here since the Magipedia went live. Anyhow... Today's assignment...
Make a list of some of the Athenian values that you encountered in the text. Choose one a write a couple of sentences (or more) about why it might be good for the trial of Socrates.
END OF LINE.
And now, the obligatory CDP news post:

- Athens tries to be a role model for the rest of Greece. Sort of hypocritical, then, that they kill Socrates for expressing a few opinions.
- They believe in the right to speech (Or, more accurately, everyone minding their own business). Again, sort of contradictory to Socrates' trial
- Understanding consequences before taking action is important. Just like what Socrates was trying to teach!

CDP Update: Magipedia!
Hey everyone, Justin here
Well, since alot of people have been implying confusion about how Kakana's magic works, I've decided to sneak into Kakana's Royal Library and borrow a book our very own Fenrir Flameseeker wrote, "The Magipedia." It's rather short, but pretty detailed and pretty extensive. With permission from our legendary warrior, I have posted an online version Up on the site! (Hmm... maybe I can bribe him into putting it up on creative commons :D)
The only thing is, some moron decided it'd be funny to rip out the last page, so I had to exclude that from the online version. If anyone could find it for me though, that'd be great!
Oh, and a second update, this time about a book of my own that's going into the Kakana library: The Disneyland Allegory That I seemed to have promised. Yes, sorry for the delay. I've been doing a lot of chores, and I really want to write it on a very boring, workless weekend, so that my train of thought isn't interrupted by something stupid like having to dust the house. So, be on the lookout for that!
