Left or Right of me.

Yes, this thread wasn't exactly started to be serious.

I don't really see how it's the fault of the test that a guy switched his answers around until he got the answer he was fishing for.

Most people will go into the test carrying a certain political identity, and it is not difficult for them to steer the test towards an answer that is coherent with that identity. This was a foreseeable obstacle, but no apparent measures have been taken to overcome it. It's not enough to say that the test should be taken in good faith, because it is absolutely predictable that it won't be. The GhostWriter example is telling because of how farcically it lays this bare, not because he represented a typical testee.

If a fighting game is designed such that experience players are consistently defeated by button-mashing novices, it is a badly-designed game. It is not enough to intone that good faith players would refrain from button-mashing.

But you guessing or asserting or anything is waaaaay more fun.

But also pointless.

This is an odd sentiment to post on a video game forum's off-topic section. Surely you agree that having fun can be, you know, the point?

 

[Truthy]

He must not think it's fun

 

[cardgame]

Posting about how pointless the list is is way more fun than putting yourself in the list. Obviously. He's not left or right, he's above

Yeah but when I genuinely have no idea of most people's political leanings, it's not even a fun guessing game, just entirely random.

 

[inthesomeday]

I would put you one slot left of onejayhawk. Or honestly maybe right.

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Without knowing his political leanings I can't comment

You've been here as long as me with enough posts to show for it, and I've seen you around in a few political threads. Surely you've seen some other people's politics to use as a reference, even just one or two. I based myself almost entirely off of este, ajid, and syn for example

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Oh he's the guy you put on the extreme right? Lol, that's amusing. Although if everyone's in the green quadrant I suppose that's not so right in real terms.

Not really. Like I said I'm aware of some of the extreme left wingers obviously. I know Commodore is very pro-gun rights, but I have no idea about his politics outside of that. I think from this thread people have been saying Berzerker is right wing, but I just know him as the ancient astronauts guy. I don't even know who 2 of the 3 people you mentioned are. Honestly in most threads I can't even remember who said most things, I just remember that they were said. And I can't work out why Tim is so far right on the list either, as he always seems to be more or less in step with the Marxists. But maybe that's just that fabled like-clique thing going on.

That's why I'd be much more interested in a renaissance of the political compass thing, but apparently that's a bad idea because everyone lies or something.

Eh? Only right of me, not in general. The list only goes for yourself, although a couple of posters have re-arranged the whole thing as a side project, I have not.

No that was about onejayhawk. Cross posted.

 

[Berzerker]

it would be kinda cool for everyone on the list (or not on it) to take the compass test and plot everyone's scores and then compare to the list

 

[ulyssesSgrant]

Yeah we pretty much did that already.

 

[Berzerker]

there's only 8 on the graph with close to 30 people available

 

[Manfred Belheim]

But there's no point because everyone who takes the test lies. It's possible and therefore inevitable.
