    That makes sense, however it is at a conscious decision level.

    Do you think you are efected by the persons avatar being jokey, aggresive, silly etc at a subconscious level.

    Would you tend to go for a particular type, is there a (loose) theme to what you choose. Or is it just a "whatever I see which takes my fancy" thing.
    I generally go for the old type of stuff i used to watch as a youngster lyke pipkins of dungeons and dragons.

    I have no idea. I'll need to meditate on that for a while, to access my subconscious.

    You tend to go for things which will have either no efect or a positive, happy type feeling to them. Do you do this deliberately for the effect it is likely to have on people. The impression you will make, as it were.

    I suppose i do it for the effect on others to see how good people's memories are. Come to think of it sara always comments on them. That could just because she watched then the first time round

    I watched Saphire and Steel first time round. It was cutting edge Sci Fantasy at that time.

    I also watched Blake's 7 first time round. It was UK Star Trek, with no budget.

    I do remember watching saphire and steel but vaugley, I also remember blake 7 in the same catorgory. They did repeat the whole series of blake 7 on UK gold a while back so i watched a lot of them again. I used to have some of the blake 7 stuff as an avatar not so long back.

    Ah how I miss them ,

    "All irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension. Trans-uranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life. Medium atomic weights are available - Gold, Lead, Copper, Jet, Diamond, Radium, Sapphire, Silver, and Steel. Sapphire and Steel have been assigned."
