I'm in the US and have a Visa "gift-card-thing". No joy, as Visa won't process the transaction "outside the United States" as they claim.

Any suggestions on that one?

I love it!

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining.

Pardon the "noob' question, but what, praytell, is a "Badge Grant"?

Ah, but it ISN'T separate from existence. Rather, it defines existence. And by us discussing it, we thereby are calling it into existence, making it exist.

Here's an example. As I write out Charlie's story, I don't write what he had for breakfast. Does this mean that somewhere in the countless dimensions I've created a world where people don't eat? No, that and all the other "minor" details are handled by the "null entity" as you refer to it.

After all, as a Mr Wonka once said, "We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

By George, I do believe Devious has it!

You are the first person that I have discussed this with that saw outside of the "But bad things always happen to the hero!" paradox.

It's actually quite simple.

Say an author writes a story or book. Somewhere in the vast multitude of dimensions, the world(s) the author writes about, the characters, situations, etc, become reality. Also, it can be explained as, when someone writes a story or book, they're not using their imagination, but "listening in" on an alternative dimension where the story IS reality.

So basically, under Eschatological Panthiestic Multiple-Ego Solipsism, Paragon City DOES exist, somewhere.

For example, you can go 2+2=4, there is no way to have 2+2=5. No one would agree that it's a possibility as you are magically pulling something out of nowhere.

Ah, but you are assuming that holds true for every conceivable dimension.

How do you know that in the alternate past my main character hails from 2+2 doesn't equal 5? (Actually, it equals 7, but I haven't written that chapter yet, so it's a moot point.)

For that matter, where does Eschatological Panthiestic Multiple-Ego Solipsism fit into a "fundamental universe"?

I have yet to even SEE a present! Where are they?
