The game worked for me. I like the concept (a game about spanking). I have to say that the best part about this game is the title as the game Itself is not particularly fun to play; twisted as that sounds. I think that the concept has some legs though and I would love to see this idea pushed into something that was a little more compelling. Edit: I think I get it though, why was I even spanking the child in the first place? I thought that was the way you play the game, you know, got to beat the child. I did it for it's own good really. It was just a endless cycle of violence for a while, I thought "when will this end!"... I won't give away the secret on how to beat (pun not intended) the game but it just dawned on me that this game might not be as simple as it first appears to be. Its a principle in action.

よこそラウレンさん　(welcome Lauren)

Hello all! I'm Sayo, a 23 year old student from the social fiction known as South Africa. My interests include philosophy, psychology, art and music. I've never been so anxious about joining a forum before, actually I have been putting off signing up for a variety of reasons that sparked lively debates in my "mecosystem". See, some years back I had this notion that you could reform yourself through seclusion and unwavering discipline, like some sort of stiff-faced Shoulin monk; keeping journals, going to therapy and becoming philosophically aware- I mean how hard could that be right? Today I can only look back at my folly with chuckles. Turns out that becoming a Sensei in the art of virtue is infinitely more complex than practicing karate chops at the crack of dawn (who would have guessed it!) Its great to finally make the jump into the FDR boards; the closest thing that I know to what might be considered a bulwark for the allies of virtue. I expect it to be a great catalyst in my personal development. some of the threads here are the stuff of legend, reminiscent of Plato's dialogues. Yes, his philosophy is retarded but the quality of Plato's writing makes them such a pleasure to read and muse. I suppose that (putting all philosophical differences aside) the difference between Plato's dialogues and FDR is that here the characters are real and the constraints within which they must operate cannot be easily manipulated to produce convenient resolutions... gosh its my first post and I am already ranting...
