I'm a Philosophy student.  I've got this horrible, horrible compulsion to
cite and quote.  It's getting worse.  I just hope graduation helps me kick
the habit cold turkey, because I think I'm going to need a couple of months
of withdrawl from academia before I feel like i canget away with writing
more than a paragraph without a footnote, citation, or snide aside.

Avatar: Slacker Philosophy Student: 98%.  Must get away before I ascend...

PS (obUA): Do avatars only compete for advancement at the jump from 98 to
99%?  Or, er... 95 to 96, or whichever?  It only seems to be competition for
the Godwalker slot.  But I imagine that, for Avatars where the Avatar is in
contest (Like the Messenger), there may be little cults around the different
interpretations - where someone channeling at 89% would want the help of
someone at 91% to knock someone out of the 90% slot for them.

Make sense?  Hope so.

("Look, Ma!  No quotes!")

PPS: Lord knows no offense is meant - I am but a humble disciple of His
Grand High Oyabun, the Stolze.
