    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    In case no officers were following the cbox I think I should report some of the confusion to add to Neo's request. Smile

    Some of us were told, and the database seems to indicate, that telepaths can do some amount of mind reading and send messages. Others were told telepaths can only receive messages sent to them directly.

    Also, mind reading:thoughts only, all thoughts,or some ability to read emotions attached to thoughts?

    Per the trait database:

    Telepathy: The ability to read and transmit thoughts in the form of words. Different from Empathy in that you cannot tell the emotion behind the words, which gives the person being mindread the option of lying if they're aware of the telepath.
    So yes, you can read and transmit thoughts as a telepath.

    Mind Reading: Ability to listen in on other's thoughts, but not send messages or influence them.
    You cannot tell the emotion behind those thoughts since mind reading is a variant of telepathy. We'll update the database

    Hope that helps!

    Another source of confusion: even though telepathy seems to be the 'larger' trait, it is one space in the database, while the 'smaller' trait mind reading, is two spaces.

    Ah, sorry guys, they should both be 2 spaces. We'll update in the database.

    @[Kyra] - database still says telepathy is a 1-space; is it a 1 or 2 space? Smile

    Sorry ya'll. There was an apostrophe in the description and the database won't update with it there without the special code and I missed it. It should actually be 2 now.
