Ok, so I tried A314 (1/2 drop each side of my neck, and 1/2 drop on each wrist = 2 total) last night at my pool match. The purpose was to observe any discernable effects on my teammates and opponents during the match.
I am not the best nor the worst player on the team. Some days I do well, and others I don’t. Last night I lost my match. I had hoped that there would be some “Alpha Male” vibe going on that would possibly distract my opponent, and if there was, he didn’t show it.
I did notice some things going on during the match though, possibly a result of the A314, or possibly my overactive imagination:
By far the loudest, most obnoxious player on the opposing team kept quiet during his match. I sat at one corner of the pool table, or hovered around it during his match. He is a very good player normally, but last night he miscued many times and on a few occasions completely missed his object ball. He ended up losing every game he played to an inferior player.
Another incident involved a teammate of mine. He and I are about the same age and share a similar interest in women. Sometimes we even pursue the same ones. We don’t speak much of it, just making sure that we don’t step on each others toes, so to speak. Anyway, he related a story to me where the night before he had a woman over to his house. She confessed to him that the Friday before, she drank too much and things got out of hand with another man. He asked her if he knew the guy she had been with and he related to me that he had hoped it was me. I was a little disturbed by his confession, but I laughed it off and told him that I had not gone out on Friday.
One more incident was where another teammate came up to me after having been talking to a group of people. He said to me, “You know, sometimes I like to talk to people like that to show myself just how smart I am, but then I come talk to you to show myself that I am just not that smart at all”.
I don’t know, do you all think that these incidents could have been the result of the A314, or do you think I just have an overactive imagination?
