Eh, based just on ideals, I pretty much am a Marxist. The thing is that when the realism buffer kicks in I have to admit that communism is an unworkable model due to human nature, nothing very far left on the scale is likely to work because it's so easily broken by power hungry assholes, so in practice I don't actually go so far left as that quiz would have you believe. I don't claim to be a Marxist because it doesn't bear out in practice, so it'd be extremely misleading. In practice I'm some kind of (I probably should have said something about this in my last post, but I was avoiding labeling myself because reasons), so that's the label that fits best thus that's the one I'd choose if I had to pin myself down to just a label.


I disagree that human nature is the problem, but that's a whole other debate I'm currently too tired to get into.
Jorick said Oh hey, that looks familiar. Here's mine, just retook the test because I couldn't find where I saved the image from last time I took it and got pretty much the same result.


Funny we're in almost the same positions since I'm admittedly a Marxist while you're not, haha.
I feel like being brave and posting my political compass results from a couple weeks ago.

This all becomes a lot more terrifying when you consider some of the interest checks, like for incest and abusive relationships and the like.


That is true. I generally overlook those ones. I will confess to having played a RP before that involved siblings in an incestrous relationship, but it wasn't the main focus of the RP. It was really only a very minor thing. People who centre an entire RP around that sort of thing tend to creep me out though, haha. Same with rape fantasies and the like. Those are just disturbing, but to each their own I suppose. I know some people are into that sort of power struggle BDSM thing in a relationship.

Well yes, that's pretty much the idea. If you look at the rules, flash fiction and short stories have different word ranges that entries must fall under. Also, flash fiction calls for the use of at least one component per entry, whereas short stories requires at least two.On the old Guild, the two contests were referred to as "Casual" and "Advanced", but that brought up a lot of misconceptions. We changed the names to better reflect the two categories.


Ah alright. Thank you. I was unsure since I haven't actually entered one of these before.

No, no. You have it all wrong. Sheogorath for president. If I was American he'd get my vote.
I think Jorick hit the nail on the head. A lot of 1x1 involves romance and for a lot of people it becomes a sort of way to project their own fantasies into reality. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but it can seem odd to a person who uses RP for stuff besides that. With that said, I play characters of both genders and frankly don't give a damn what my partner behind the computer screen's gender is; if they can RP well then I'll take them up as a partner.

Well not completely anti tech I just mean they have more of a focus on "community" and dislike using tech but they will if they must.


Yea, Mormons are not anti-tech. I lived in a town that had many of them. They're just against using it for immoral purposes(at least what they view as immoral) such as looking up porn.
I'm not quite sure what the differences are between flash fiction and short stories? I'm guessing flash fiction is just a shorter version of a short story.
