You're sure you have understood your Feuerbach right? Aren't you looking more like a general misunderstanding of Nietzsche?

I seem to remember my high school philosophy teacher told me Feuerbach said something like "Man ist, was man isst." Blame him if I didn't understand it correctly.

Thanks Inzil!

Indeed. Poor Friedrich, that happens to him a lot.

Some more Werewolf philosophy (admittedly simplified):
Feuerbach: The Mod is a mere projection of the players' desires for omnipotence.
Nietzsche: The Mod is dead; he died of his compassion with his players.
Nietzsche's Zarathustra: You go to wolves? Do not forget the noose!
Camus: We must imagine the lynched ordo as happy.
Heidegger: What is wolvery? Wolvery is what wolves do. What do wolves do? They feed on sheep, which are woolly. Wolves themselves, however, are furry. We therefore call the feeding of wolves on sheep woolfurry.

Had I not repped so many people recently, I'd rep you Pitch again just for your aftergame comments! I've been laughing so much.

Speaking of which, your earlier Hegel-joke as well as Ozban being witty to veteran players and Zil's comment about playing at work made me laugh a lot too. You were a fun lot to mod for.

In a way modding is more fun than playing - you don't have to read the tedious and horribly long posts thoroughly if you don't want to, you just get all the jokes...

You'll be happy to know I postponed a meeting on the last Day so I could be there right at DL to reveal with the others.

That's hilarious!!! I like your attitude.
(Lommy is laughing and stomping her feet.

And saying she'd like to rep you again.)

Of course! Life's all about priorities!

Funnily enough, I think one of the reasons I did so poorly last game was that a couple of pretty serious issues came up that had to be dealt with, and were very time-consuming. The fact that both of these (rather unusual events for my area) happened so close together might be another piece of the strange misfortune that seemed to haunt that game.

Nogrod · 10-14-2010, 04:47 PM

More ww-philosophy...

Heidegger: Everyone is "thrown-in-to-the-world" with no chance to dictate his/her role - and their views are controlled by others (das man), thence the bandwaggons everyone wishes to join with - to not take a stance or claim on their authentic "being-towards-death".

Nietzsche: "The Super Men" decide the views of others... the herd-mentality is the common denominator of the crowd not able to think for themselves.

Sartre: Everyone is tied by their liberty to choose... oh crap, it's the Mod who chooses that.

Tolkien: You must choose what to do with the role you have been given...

Marx & Engels: It's the unfair system where some have (knowledge) and some do not, that oppresses the ordos: The baddies want to keep the ordos disarrayed and to fight among themselves and not to make a revolution.

Kierkegaard: You just have to make a leap of faith to trust someone in a game.

Adam Smith: It tends to end up just fine for everyone when everyone just drives for their personal good.

Hegel: It tends to get right, whatever people do, because of the "cunningness of reason" itself.

I honestly think that just made my night!! Bahahahahaha!!!!!

I was too actually, would have been more hilarious then the above comment of Agan's

Now to the Wolves and Boro.....I.....hate....you......

Nog, I had you pinned from Day 2 when you had stated that I was not being Wolfish. You and I are NEVER on the same page, just lucky I was away for the better part of the Day. Zil, I never started thinking about a ZilWolf until after skip had been revealed as an innocent, and Eonwe, you slipped right through the cracks. I was actually positive that Greenie was one of the Wolves until you went and killed her

Boro, I know you had no part in my death (jerks lol), but you were still happy to see me go, don't lie.

Shasta, I am soooooooooo sorry that I had a part in your lynch. And when you turned up as the Seer, the first thing I did was look over your posts when I noticed the Nerwen thing and sent a message to our lovely Moddess and said that I hoped they would pick her and so redeem your death in someway....Well, it worked.....but they still won.....jerks.

My darling butterfly, I wish you and I could have played a little more together this game (jerks lol) as I was certain you were innocent as well.

Ozzy, amazingly well done for your first game!! Congratulations on making it to the end....well.....further then most of us do in our first game anyways.

Everyone else, well done. Legate, I was sooo certain of your guilt, but apparently I was away off the mark this game. Lottie, don't feel too bad, you'll make a come back...when I'm a Wolf again

.

Dear Moddess, thank you for a wonderful back to basics game!! It was nice after all of these experimental games we've been having, a nice change of scenery so to speak.
