Loved it! The writing and art were great, and a lot of the jokes made me laugh. There were some moments where I got stuck figuring out where to attack the flaw in an argument and had to try all possible options, but the auto-saving happened frequently enough that I never lost progress due to that, so it wasn't too frustrating.

I love how it starts off with them all going "You shouldn't be here. Like, ever. You're in no way a philosopher." And then it ends, and it's just like, "Hm. Well, guess we were wrong. See you later man."

The Qur'an allows its followers to kill non believers. Its not entirely a peaceful book. Using it as an argument does not hold up. I'd like to examine that statement further.

Could someone for the sake of me being interested in this argue Error Theory with me? Error theory[edit]
Error theory is built by three principles:
There are no moral features in this world; nothing is right or wrong.
Therefore no moral judgments are true; however,
Our sincere moral judgments try, but always fail, to describe the moral features of things.
Thus, we always lapse into error when thinking in moral terms. We are trying to state the truth when we make moral judgments. But since there is no moral truth, all of our moral claims are mistaken. Hence the error. These three principles lead to the conclusion that there is no moral knowledge. Knowledge requires truth. If there is no moral truth, there can be no moral knowledge. Thus moral values are purely chimerical.

Nice subtle Ace Attorney reference in the debate with Mill. Would have been perfect if the AA games' influence weren't so obvious elsewhere :-)

Kant: One cannot simply choose to ignore gravity!
Arbiter: ...I can.
Kant: ...My metaphor still works.
This cracked me up.

(When Socrates Jones is debating the Arbiter) "Many centuries ago, Socrates came to the current Arbiter claiming he found the answer to morality" - might be a bit more clear if 'current' was swapped with 'incumbent' :)

There was nice fight with Hobbles at the end of his Chapter:
"S: NONSENSE!.....
H: NONSENSE!......
S: NONSENSE!......
H: .....
S: nONSENSE!....."

Is it good that after "They told us it in health class: "always use protection"" 1st thing which came to my mind were condoms?

John-Stuart-Mill said that morality is happiness, yet doesn't me calling his face ugly bring me happiness, making it moral, yet bring him unhappiness, making it immoral?

I like the game, and what it is trying to do... but it is more frustrating than fun... I figured out several of the answer ut at their initial statement, and then I had to jump thru hoops to try to make the game LET me say what I wanted to say... that works terrible

yay, just when i beat the arbeiter my browser crashed and my save was deleted for no reason whatsoever, i didnt get to see the ending, i didnt get the achivment. i really liked the game but that was total bullshit

I was so desperate on that last argument of that last debate I decided to use my ultimate debating weapon... "Your face is ugly". Sadly, that implies automatically losing. xD

Well, Hobbes could have pointed out that the sovereign was obligated to keep their contract with the people for the fear of revolt, creating an infinite cycle of mutual fear that the Sovereign will often try to hide or amend by making the fear of the people greater, OR keeping the contract and even giving them privileges.

"Power hungry prosecutors would run innocent men into the ground, with defense attorneys having to fight against ridiculous odds just to prove them innocent!"-Mill
I sense an Ace Attorney reference.

I spent the entire first intelligible realm debate so confused thinking we were talking about mortality rather than morality.

After all this time, I still find it funny that all of this could have been avoided if he just got some deer repellent.

The ace attorney reference was placed perfectly
Fun game, it'd be cool to have a sequel where you debate things other than morality.

Yeah, first I wanna get over a Deer repelant seller and some minutes later I'm arguing with Euthyphro about what's good, what a way to start school...
