I looked at his profile and he doesn't seem to be active on SEN anymore.
I just wanted to thank him for creating the Texas Hold'em UMS. I know mappers don't get thanked enough nowadays, and I make sure to write a thank you notes to mappers who make awesome maps. If it weren't for his map, I would probably be fiddling around trying to create one which probably wouldn't be done til the end of the year. So yeah, I'm pretty thankful that he created it. It's pretty much the only way I'd play poker on my laptop. Thanks Jeraziah/Devilisk! You have a fan!
Edit: noticed he also goes by Devilisk
None.
He isn't inactive. He's banned.
Though I have no doubt that he won't be reading your message on a proxy IP address.
Aw, what a waste. He seemed like a really talented mapper.
None.
I blocked him before because he didn't know when to stfu. As if he doesn't have any other friends in the world or something. I mean he can be useful and helpful but not usually.
HE sent me this, when i told him to stop because I didn't care. Yet he wouldn't. GTFO.
theavalanche1 (5:57:24 PM): i kinda
theavalanche1 (5:57:29 PM): feel like saying
theavalanche1 (5:57:30 PM): idc
theavalanche1 (5:57:31 PM): actuall
theavalanche1 (5:57:32 PM): y
theavalanche1 (5:57:35 PM): im going to say
theavalanche1 (5:57:35 PM): idc
theavalanche1 (5:57:36 PM): :C
devilesk (5:57:36 PM): as in
devilesk (5:57:40 PM): if you're going to discuss knowledge
devilesk (5:57:44 PM): start out with an analysis of knowledge
devilesk (5:57:48 PM): what makes something knowledge
devilesk (5:57:53 PM): define it
devilesk (5:57:57 PM): break it down into its components
devilesk (5:58:00 PM): i.e. JTB
devilesk (5:58:05 PM): knowledge is a justified true belief
devilesk (5:58:19 PM): and then you can go from there
devilesk (5:58:34 PM): you can then discuss how gettier cases raise problems with the JTB definition of knowledge
devilesk (5:58:53 PM): and look at possible amendments to the JTB account of knowledge
theavalanche1 (5:59:05 PM): orly
devilesk (5:59:12 PM): yes really
theavalanche1 (5:59:20 PM): no wai
devilesk (6:02:33 PM): also there are several ways of obtaining knowledge
devilesk (6:02:36 PM): there's testimony
devilesk (6:02:42 PM): abduction
devilesk (6:02:48 PM): logical inference
devilesk (6:02:49 PM): induction
devilesk (6:03:08 PM): some things you know a priori
devilesk (6:05:19 PM): now what cecilsunkure is probably getting at but is unable to articulate is what should be the foundations for knowledge
theavalanche1 (6:05:28 PM): oh
theavalanche1 (6:05:29 PM): do tell
devilesk (6:05:33 PM): well
devilesk (6:05:37 PM): descartes attempted to solve this problem
devilesk (6:05:45 PM): he used a skeptical approach
devilesk (6:05:58 PM): rejecting everything that was dubitable
devilesk (6:06:21 PM): something is dubitable if a coherent story that could be made that makes it false
devilesk (6:06:44 PM): a common skeptical scenario that casts doubt on a lot of stuff is
devilesk (6:06:45 PM): i am dreaming
devilesk (6:06:52 PM): or there's an evil demon deceiving me
devilesk (6:06:54 PM): about everything
devilesk (6:07:09 PM): however one thing descartes found that he could not doubt is that
devilesk (6:07:15 PM): i think
devilesk (6:07:20 PM): therefore i exist
devilesk (6:08:07 PM): it is a unique statement
devilesk (6:08:38 PM): it cleverly eludes the skeptical scenario of the evil demon deceiving you
theavalanche1 (6:08:40 PM): a unique statement indeed
devilesk (6:08:51 PM): because how could an evil demon deceive you about thinking
devilesk (6:09:43 PM): so the two things about the statement are that has a psychological component
devilesk (6:09:47 PM): and a first person component
devilesk (6:10:02 PM): the first person aspect of it is important because if you said
devilesk (6:10:03 PM): he thinks, he exists
devilesk (6:10:20 PM): it then become susceptible to the evil demon that may be deceiving you into thinking that he thinks
theavalanche1 (6:10:47 PM): You realize of course i could careless right?
theavalanche1 (6:10:49 PM): :C
devilesk (6:10:50 PM): the problem
devilesk (6:10:52 PM): is that
devilesk (6:10:59 PM): while the statement is powerful
devilesk (6:11:05 PM): you can't really build knowledge off of that
devilesk (6:11:20 PM): it c an only lead to subjective knowledge about the self
devilesk (6:11:24 PM): you can't go from i think
devilesk (6:11:32 PM): to conclude anything outside of yourself in the external world
devilesk (6:11:48 PM): this has led some philosophers to believe that the external world does not exist
devilesk (6:11:59 PM): which is idealism
devilesk (6:12:50 PM): so i think the problem of whether it is possible to have knowledge of the external world to be much more of better question
theavalanche1 (6:13:54 PM): coolio
devilesk (6:14:13 PM): it raises questions like
devilesk (6:14:17 PM): are we possibly living in the matrix
theavalanche1 (6:14:38 PM): i shall put this conversation on some motiviational pic and add a picture of a polar bear riding a motorcycle with a pirate in the sidecar shooting eyelazors
devilesk (6:14:56 PM): although david chalmers argues that
devilesk (6:14:57 PM): the matrix hypothesis
devilesk (6:15:03 PM): is a metaphysical question
devilesk (6:15:06 PM): and not a skeptical scenario
devilesk (6:15:17 PM): he argues we do have knowledge of the external world even if we are in a matrix
devilesk (6:15:34 PM): it's just that the fundamental reality of the world is different than what we thought it was
devilesk (6:18:46 PM): rofl
devilesk (6:18:51 PM): i started talking about knowledge more
devilesk (6:18:54 PM): i went on for like a dozen lines
devilesk (6:19:00 PM): and forgot that i was messaging kenoli
devilesk (6:19:02 PM): instead of you
theavalanche1 (6:19:17 PM): nice?
devilesk (6:19:22 PM): nozick's account of knowledge
devilesk (6:19:26 PM): is interesting
theavalanche1 (6:19:28 PM): fffffffffffffffff
devilesk (6:19:32 PM): because it makes use of counterfactual conditionals
devilesk (6:19:40 PM): nozick's conditions for knoweldge are
devilesk (6:19:41 PM): p is true
devilesk (6:19:45 PM): s believes p
devilesk (6:19:49 PM): if p were not true s would not believe p
devilesk (6:19:53 PM): if p were true s would believe p
devilesk (6:20:02 PM): the last two conditions are the counterfactual conditionals
devilesk (6:20:18 PM): one way of evaluating the truth of a counterfactual is to imagine a set of infinitely many possible worlds
devilesk (6:20:24 PM): in each of these possible worlds any proposition can be true or false
devilesk (6:20:36 PM): so to see if a counterfactual is true or false you would go to
devilesk (6:20:43 PM): the closest possible world where p is true
devilesk (6:20:47 PM): and then in that world you would see if q were true
devilesk (6:20:55 PM): so for example take the counterfactual condition
devilesk (6:21:09 PM): if i were to throw a rock through a window it would break
devilesk (6:21:28 PM): that statement is a counterfactual conditional because it is counter to fact
devilesk (6:21:37 PM): it is a statement about what would happen
devilesk (6:21:55 PM): so we go tot he closest possible world where i throw a rock through a window
devilesk (6:21:59 PM): and in that world we see that the window breaks
devilesk (6:22:06 PM): therefore the counterfactual conditional is true
devilesk (6:22:17 PM): we use counterfactual conditionals to explain everything
devilesk (6:24:42 PM): i could probably rape their free will debates too
ATM i have him unblocked on AIM and MSN because we really don't talk. As long as that happens we can be cool.
None.
Aw, what a waste. He seemed like a really talented mapper.
Troll.
Must be devilesk.
He was a pretty good mapper. He also pumped out a lot of maps. I think I only played with him once or twice, but he seemed like kind of a fun guy.
[/] A bit pushy, though.
None.

I don't know why you would think that but really couldn't care less if you thought I was him. Were you raised in a setting where giving appreciation and praise is met with suspicion and surprise? It reminds me of how it's considered "rude" to say hello or how are you to complete strangers in today's society. Most people would give you a strange look, like a "why are you speaking to me? I don't know you" kind of look.
I came here to learn how to map and wasn't expecting to be accused of being a trolling banned member. Is it really that incomprehensible to you that people give praise to one another? Like I said, I like thanking mappers who take the time to create great maps. I thanked Yoshi because I loved playing Fallen Memories. I thanked ezTerix because his SH map is challenging and many others. I had no idea asking this small question would turn this thread to turn into some kind of argument.
Edit: I'm trying to figure out if you were joking. It's hard to do that since text itself doesn't convey any feeling you might have expressed. But if you were joking, I apologize.

It's usually best to assume so ;D

Haha, yeah you're right. I'm probably just stressed out from not making any map progress. It's like writer's block but worse.
None.
Understatement of the century, and it's only 2010. Haha, +1.
I actually talked to Devilesk on Bnet.
None.
ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO
He's a really good mapper. Active to the starcraft community, productive, trolls a lot but that's only cause everyone else sux. If anyone here actually made maps
like him 
I talk to devi every once and then and when he decides to be an ass and ruin 24's new season for me QQ
fuck you all
Just here for the activity... well not really
He yells at me occasionally and brags about his EM win

Thanks Jeraziah/Devilisk! You have a fan!
Edit: noticed he also goes by Devilisk
Yeah quite a fan you are not even knowing how your idol is spelled.

QFT
He hates me and does nothing but tell me that HoN is better than LoL and kill/troll me whenever possible in epicmafia.
None.
Yes, quite talented he is.
