I'm 24, from Northern Illinois. I'm here for a different reason than most. I don't need to work on my game (though getting better should always be your primary goal), I want to share my experiences and tips with everyone. I don't mean to come in acting like I know everything about this thing we call "game". The first thing you have to be is confident though, and that I am. I've spent the past several hours reading through the techniques commonly used in this site. Some of them are fantastic...a lot of them are farfetched and just don't work, unless you're in an ideal situation. You see, I've never actually approached "gaming" as a game. It's not. It's psychology, anthropological study and sociology, all of which I have studied thoroughly and continue to do so. Seems like there are many helpful individuals on this forum that know what they're doing, and although their methods aren't mine (most anyways), I think broadening the horizon is always a must. I surely will take from this forum. Not as much as I plan to give, however. So, with that, please feel free to fire any questions you've got at me. I've got answers.
