Could a lore buff explain CHIM to us?

I won't give it to you straight up. You've got to find out on your own. It's funner that way.

In the reflection of your glasses lies the luminescent screen of the television
projecting unto your synapses the distorted vision from behind the eyes of
corporate contrivances pleading between their cold metal fingers for control
which in your advertisement-enslavement you repay tenfold whilst the world
spirals into oblivion around your desensitized body and in this cacophonous
euphoria we all die and we all die alone.

A state of change, the force of change, something akin to that.
“To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy, to inferiors nobleness.”

CHIM is when you realize that you are IT.

Is that cool, B-rad, or do I just sound stupid?

Oh no Nilloc! Don't fall into the whole of CHIM!

Not only will you be sucked into it but you will spark a lore buff war.

Wouldn't that require several lore buffs? :P
Possibly...

CHIM is this pencil here. And now it's this cookie. And in five minutes it'll be that rock outside.

Hey, look, it's raining. That means the rain is CHIM!

(Note: No, I do not know what CHIM is.)

SO it is a state?

No, I don't think so. I think it's more of a realization than anything.

If you have it, you don't need it. If you need it, you don't have it. If you have it, you need more of it. If you have more of it, you don't need less of it. You need it to get it, and you certainly need it to get more of it. But if you don't already have any of it to begin with, you can't get any of it to get started, which means you really have no idea how to get it in the first place, do you?

You can share it, sure; you can even stockpile it if you like, but you can't fake it. Wanting it, needing it, wishing for it...the point is, if you've never had any of it--ever--people just seem to know.

The rule with CHIM seems to be: the less sense the description makes, the more accurate it is.

Man I miss IM too. And did everyone see that Paws was back a bit before Christmas?

Not to go offtopic, I will quote Mortazo, who is a proud Daggerfall lover in his take on CHIM from a discussion about it at BGSF:

"I would say Dragon Breaks are in reality the equivalent, as the concept of a Dragon break was created in Morrowind to allow them to retcon out parts of Daggerfall they didn't like. "

Both are rather unfathomable to me but I think I have not read enough ingame books on either subject yet. I wish IM were here to steer our passage through the Lessons of Vivec .. I have a feeling that a greater understanding of CHIM lives in there.

You can really just get CHIM via Vehk's Teachings, but there are select sermons that help...
