Rincewind Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 The Foxestalk debating thread reminds me of a game that was played when I was little at school. A certain number of people are drifting at sea/desert island with little food and drink. It is decided that one of the party must be sacrificed in order the others live and have a good slap up meal. Anyway the subjects each pick a character real or fictional and say why they must live. The one with the least votes wins/loses. I find that this game could be flawed because if you pick a good character ie. Jesus they would sacrifice themselves while a Hitler character would be up against it. It was fun at the time though.

Rincewind Posted 2 February 2008 Author Posted 2 February 2008 I did say it was when I was little which was a few years ago. An example would be Florence nightingale: I should survive because I help soldiers in the war. Logie Baird: I'm the inventer of the television and without me you would not get Strictly Come Dancing. Dale Winton. I'm an entertainer that gives pleasure to thousands of men....and women. and so on and so forth but the arguments would have to be stronger.

Rincewind Posted 3 February 2008 Author Posted 3 February 2008 I'm surprised nobody remembers this. I'm sure it used to be on the TV or radio years ago. The full details escape me.
Guest Posted 3 February 2008 Posted 3 February 2008 I'm surprised nobody remembers this. There's perhaps a very good reason for this.
