¿Que pasa, mis amigos?

After a long and deep immersion in the ethical writings of Immanuel Kant and Søren Kierkegaard, I have been inspired to making a philosophy roleplay.

Although it may sound boring at first, the player is put through several disturbing philisophical scenarios that question morality, metaphysics, and religion.

For example, the trolley scenario, the fatman scenario (look-them up) shake the fundamentals maxims of our values.

Other topics would include determinism (Is the future is already set: is sin therefore justified because we can't help it?) and realism (is reality hidden from us, and are our sensory perceptions illusions?)

The players enter a colossal metaphysical complex called T"he Helix", which breaks, twists and bends everything they thought they knew about the universe. And of course, there will be a plot.

Does this sound good? It would be cool if creative minds like Sakky and Eo helped out on this.

Roleplay is the de-facto Off-topic section, in my opinion.

Ni-hao, my fellow writers of the Interwebz.

It would be interesting to have an equivalent to Switzerland in Spourm States...

I apoligize if my spelling is off, my keyboard is sticky and uncooperative.

Name: Altar of Kiz'mål
Geography: An aged yet sturdy bush surrounded by a wooden ampitheater for its inhabitants to gather. Domes made of leaves, which serve as dwellings, goverment centers, and storage areas are scattered about. Nestled in undergrowth, mammals in the surrounding forest cannot sense it, but it is vulnerable to fellow insects.
Species: Praying Mantis
History: As its title implies, the Altar is a religious colony in which its praying mantis dwellers offer sacrifices, perform rituals, and worship their deity Kiz'målm, whom they believe to have granted all creatures life. Religion is integral in the Praying Mantis society, and is actively present in daily life. Stalwart scavengers gather food, while tax collecters buzz around the sanctuary to enforce the Donation to the Unfortuanate (see below) offerings to the God, and supporting the goverment with food.

Other: To assist the povert, more wealthy (in food) Mantises must give one-eighth of their food to those less fortunate in the Collection Dome.

Name: Mizzsta
Gender: Female
Appearance: Being a Lotus Praying Mantis, Mizzsta is emblazoned with scarlet and pink dots streaming down her sinious, but muscular body. Despite having her eye paritally damaged in a flight from a squirell, she is respected as a leader and is rarely doubted.

An interesting fact is that poor Herr Kafka passed away before any of his books were published, so the morals are left up to complex interpertation.

You isn't be havin' none of thems soup no more, is ya'?

....sorry.

"Lok" is apparently Hindi for "People". I decided that it was outside of the box and interesting, so I chose it.

Anyways, I was inactive mostly due to being imprisoned by Chess.com and its clutches of addiction, but also other interests and becoming more busy.

I think I need to get used to the roleplay section again. Perhaps I should join some and grow accustomed rather than creating one immediately, which woulod risk breaking some fundemental roleplay principles.

S-Sakky left? And the Roleplay forum hasn't collapsed into Anarchy yet?

Ah, no new installments in the guide?

I'm interested,and it would be nice for me to join a roleplay after being inactive.
