While I do believe it's very important to deconstruct binary thought in terms of politics, I do want to make sure we don't just fall into relativism and never solve anything at all. Sure, it's very nice to be completely centrist, but sadly, nothing can be done from a position believing all others are somewhat wrong and that you have stumbled upon the only correct answer, which is to say that there is no answer. What we need is an open dialogue, where we can actually figure out who is right and who is wrong on a certain subject, because not every solution lies in the middle. We can't sort of go to war with another country. I think this game does a great job showing the polarization in politics today, and enjoyed my time.

This isn't a game. It shows that no one will ever one when they are in on group. It leaves no competition, which creates competition which makes people angry because they don't know what to do. The president fixes one problem the people just complain and say "Oh well I could do that better, go do this!" Its made me realize one thing. Today's Obama isn't bad. He has figured things out, no one will ever win. People need to stop complaining and see the truth. When you win you lose, when you lose you never won nor did you ever lose. You know why? The world never ended. Confusing right?

When I first looked at this game I thought "Gray... wow that's dumb" and then I played it, and I thought "I should join him and be gray"

There's a riot going on in the city. The protagonist is opposed to the crowd's ideology, so he persuades people to switch to the opposite side of the conflict until the tide turns and a second riot with opposite ideology begins. The protagonist suddenly decides to change sides. He begins persuading rioters to return to the same side which he originally opposed. He changes the flow of the riot back and forth a couple of times, and then takes the middle ground of the argument which he's been channeling. Now nobody will listen to him. Then the game ends.
Thumbs Up!

basically what this game is saying is: "people will always have an opinion that goes against someone else's, and coming to an agreement will always be impossible"

these people are really indecisive. I sway them to protest something, then five seconds later, I convince them to protest the opposite thing. I must be an awsome persuader. At least, until I go gray.......

I think a good way to sum the message this game sends up, is to say, and I hate to sound cliche, The more things change, the more they stay the same.

actually, gray _is_ a correct spelling of grey, seeing prevalence in the U.S.

This reminds me of school and the rumors that spread. They will be on ur side at first, but then someone will tell them a lie, then there gone.

You get everyone to follow your own beliefs, but then when you decide that they were wrong, everybody so fervently follows them that you're stuck alone. Seeing the futility of being a minority, it kinda makes me want to rejoin them. Nazi Germany, anyone?

I encourage everyone to keep converting until they get to the end- there is an end, don't worry. I loved this game, it was a little bittersweet but reminded me of how slippery people's opinions can really be.

Wow, a game that describes the general public without saying a word. People are polarized and don't truly care about the other side unless someone tells them otherwise.
As i say, the masses are stupid.

its about duality, yin and yang, and the eternal conflict. win and lose are like black and white, as long as youre worried about converting people to grayness you arent in the middle. if you think it matters that it doesnt matter, youre doing it wrong, or right. its all so ironic.

o noes!!! a roit, i guess i'll run up to people who are trying to run me over and have a deep philosophacal talk with them. yay.

Interesting concept for a philosophical game, or one meant to have a message gotten from it (the one I got was along the lines of the public being fickle, and malleable to believe what you want them to believe if you appeal to their "waves" or thought processes). When it comes to the entertainment value, however, I don't find it particularly intriguing. For the venue that it's directed towards, the graphics aren't bad, but the soundtrack is a little repetitive and gets somewhat on the nerves after awhile. Nonetheless, nice work Mr. intuition :D

if someone doesn't get a game, don't rate there comment into the floor, everyone has an opinion, don't try to hide those you don't agree with. in fact, you might not get the game either, you might think it means something it doesn't, it is all about opinions, so don't hide some of them
