Yeah, I probably will, but it's not supposed to be understood. The tactics aren't integral to the story.

i heard that halfway through the book you made up fictional characters that symbolize things in your life and alot of this shit isn't 100% true but a symbol for what happened. what the fuck jeffy i hope thats a lie. ill still buy and read your book regardless because i love your personality and writing, i just wouldn't like it if you lied about what you said in this thread.

You "heard" wrong.

No fictional characters, no "symbolic events." Book is 100% truth.

EDIT: Just to be crystal clear: while everything described in the book actually took place, some basic editorial license was taken here and there. Meaning: a couple of the characters are composites of multiple people; in several places I condensed events that happened on separate occassions into one night; and there was some very minor juggling of the timeline to make things flow more smoothly with the narrative.

Whoever told you that (and I'm assuming it's a former BC student who I spoke to about the book on program) was mistaken or misunderstood what I was saying.

Making fun of The Book from bird boy, are you now. Seriously, I hope this was just a joke cause you just don't give a fuck.

I wanted this to be accessible to the average, non community person. The "community" is not even really mentioned. It's a part of it, but it's pretty much "off stage" the entire time. Again, this is a personal story. There is little jargon, nor is there any explanation of tactics. It's just like, "I go in and run Too Similar into Cat Got Laid into Evo Phase Shift" with no explanation what that means, like I might as well say, "I execute Dragon Punch into Tiger Fist."

I have been using the tiger fist a lot lately. Mostly during the comfort phase.

Yao, Will this be for entertainment purposes only or will this actually help your game improve?

Edit: and I don't mean when it'll help your game improve by like slightly hepl improve your game, this is where some hoensty is needed. Will this inner journey only be relevent/applicable to JLAIX or can others benefit from it too?

"It’s a story, a memoir if you will, dealing with the themes of love, identity and the illusion of control"
