Would/should a medical diagnosis for DID/MPD qualify someone for an exemption from the No-Multi rule?
DID = Dissociative Identity Disorder
MPD = Multiple Personality Disorder
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociati ... y_disorder
I can see some very good reasons why a person with this disorder would benefit from the exemption... I can also make some arguements how this would benefit the CC community.
Conversely I can see how multiple personalities (i.e. someone with DID) could cause problems if "they" were forced to share a common CC identity.
... any wisdom from the CC Community???

any thread of note or interest, of late, has been moved, merged or locked (excluding dumb dice threads). so, people with interesting topics or questions are discouraged from posting for fear of quasi-warnings and harassment by out of control mods drunk with assumed power. your theory is interesting... i have to do some detailed research before i can post something of substance. however, i applaud your effort with this thread! i look forward to following it... even if that means all the way to the Intelligent Konversation after a death blow by a mod!!-0jimboston wrote:The forum has been boring lately... plus I have no turns...

Doesn't everyone have an interest in Risk?greenoaks wrote:what would be the chances that two or more of the personalities have an interest in Risk, let alone find this site.
I'm glad to see we have this source in common. At least now there are two experts on the subject posting in this forum.greenoaks wrote: in my vast experience (from watching Law & Order)

All you have to remember is that most psychiatry is largely guesswork, and untestable and thus largely meaningless.

Now there's a thought. Personality 1 goes to his PC, sees someone else has been playing on it, this adds to his paranoia. He then arrives here by searching the history...Finding the site for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th personality would be easy. It would be cached on their shared computer once the 1st guy/gal found it.
QED the story jb.I think it it in the interest of the CC Community to make this exception ASAP.
