This Time on Philosophy "Weekly": Which Philosopher/Philosophical Leaning Fits YOU?
IT'S BACK! Here it is, the Lazarus/Jesus of threads (or maybe I'm just annoying and won't shut up...yeah, that one) back from the dead. Since we had a Political Alignment quiz last week, thought this might be fun...especially with the new batch of philosophical and political folks we have...so, let us know who your #1 and #2 results are, and taking all bets--how many times will Ayn Rand pop up for our conservative friends? :) http://selectsmart.com/PHILOSOPHY/

OK, so I had to write a 300-600 word essay on this topic for my entrance exams...
I thought I'd see what you all would have written. So give me a 300-600 word essay on the folliwng (obi, limit it to 300-600 words, larger is penalized by the exam).

Pick a side: Can people choose to be happy, or is happiness out of their control?

Is it only racist when white people do it?
After tweeting the phrase "90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM" James Edwards would go on to participate in the shooting of Chris Lane. Unlike the zimmerman shooting, this was racially motivated. Would you consider this act racist, or can only white people be racist?

What strikes me about this story is the use of prisoners as slave labour. Right? That forms a kind of unfair competition against commercial interests, unless those interests are in the running of prisons for profit.

FP for Gunboaters
I've got a great gunboat GR, but a terrible FP GR, and its killing my overall. I know a lot of other primarily gunboat players are in the same boat. Anyone interested in a gunboater's full press game?

I don't consider myself as a gunboater, but due to my time restrictions I am playing mostly gunboats recently. But will be interested in a good WTA full press with 48 hours.

If Czech confirms, we can start. Otherwise, we'll still need one more. 48 hr phases, I'd prefer low stakes, any preferences? Anon/non anon?

48h, low entrance fee and WTA is fine by me.
I'd prefer non-anon in this one because everybody will know who I am anyway :)

15 Aug 13 UTC
Good point Split. I was thinking non anon anyway, it doesn't matter as much in FP.
Yeah.Also I'd prefer Monday to start with it,not before.If it isn't a problem.

Monday start is preferable for me as well. The other stuff all sounds good.

@Split - No, the process of interacting with the players and seeing how they approach press, conflict, persuasion, working to build relationships, and pitching creative ideas was a great learning experience.

Key difference between FP & GB ... Longer phases in GB mean that it is less of a demand, because you can stay away longer between log-ins. Longer pases in FP mean that it is MORE of a demand, because there is stuff going on all the time ... and if you just log in once a day, you are characterized as uncooperative or uncommunicative. I like FP better (and am fairly decent at it) but I usually play GB because of time commitments elsewhere. Just my 2 krone/gröschen/копейки/centimes/etc.

Sounds good Per, I'll get a game going and links sent out soon.
Nice to see you again Per. Although, I always thought you were quite the talented press player... trying to take advantage of us gunboaters, eh?

Per Olander (1651 D(B))
20 Aug 13 UTC
so the lies and deceit have already started Lando, trying to gang the others up on me? ;)
I guess I have played both variants earlier, but like many others, time constraints left me playing mostly live gunboats whenever I had a free evening (or night, given that not many of you are european).
But I haven't played much lately, since May 2012, I have only played 3 games, so I am a bit rusty in both variants...
2ndWhiteLine (2606 D(B))
20 Aug 13 UTC
I think Split is a little wary of someone who hasn't been on much lately. As long as you'll be able to fully commit to a press game, Per, I don't think we'll have any issues.
Per Olander (1651 D(B))
20 Aug 13 UTC
I have played more than 100 games without a single CD, even though I stopped being that active about 1½ years ago. I finished my studies and started working, not having time back then, but I am willing to commit and get a good restart of my career here. I now that time zones might be a trouble, but I will be online most of the weekend, and from 5 to 11 PM almost all weekdays, plus the occassional quick message during office hours.
