4/18 Plato Reading

Hmmm... let's see... todays prompt:

1. Why should plays, and acting in them, be regulated? What is potentially beneficial or harmful from acting in a play?

Ach. Please, do excuse me if today's entry is shorter than normal. This section really didn't strike much of a chord with me. It sounded more like Socrates being paranoid than it did him being a philosopher. If it makes up for it, I'll be sure to make my obligatory plug for EE longer.

Acting in plays should be regulated because, when one is acting in a play, one is imitating the character he is trying to portray (And, as Plato's Theory of the Forms dictates, the only thing worse than an imitation is an imitation of an imitation)Atop that, were a Guardian were to act in a play, he should not be allowed to portray anyone immoral, for fear of the character's habits to rub off on them. If a Guardian were to act in a play, then he should only be allowed to act as a Guardian, or a character Guardian-like in nature, and that character must do nothing that the ideal Guardian should not.

END OF LINE.

OBLIGATORY EE PLUG TIME!


So, throughout the production of Eternity's End so far, I've been really experimenting with the concept of a virtual office (Partly inspired by Tom Clancy's talk of it in "Teeth of the Tiger"). Until now, I've only been recruiting classmates and close friends, so I can still meet up with them in person if the Virtual office fails.

Well, I feel confident, and feel like stepping up this concept to the next level. Now's the time to, ah, "overcome topography through the use of the topological plane", as McKenzie Wark's "Gamer Theory" would probably put it.

I've decided that I MAY be publicly hiring for the last main voice-acting job, the voice of the younger of the two princesses of Kakana and the mercenary team's only Kunoichi, Dimona. However, I'm going to be a lot more strict. You gotta go through an audition, of sorts. In reality, that just means email us, I'll send you back a little script, and you send me back the soundclips.

I warn you though, since this is a REALLY BIG test on the concept of a virtual office, you gotta be serious about this. That doesn't necessarily mean putting in 16+ hours of work a day (Although I would love it if you do ;)), but just that you don't fall behind too much.

Oh, there are also a bunch of little jobs up for grabs, too. These are only a few lines or so, so these aren't as serious ;) For all genders, too!

Also, if anyone is good at designing towns, I really need help in that. I'm horrible at it.
