The River Simulation

Monday, February 7, 2011

     The River Simulation was comprised of five different groups all around the classroom. These groups/villages were named Titan, Oberton, Io, Rhea, and lastly, Callisto. Every village had its own unique population, water, and the number of people that would die if they were to, per se, go to war against another village. The point of the River Simulation was to gain enough water to support you and your own village, for the drought had decreased the amount of available water. Of course, this meant war.
     As part of the village of Oberton, it was key to make beneficial alliances. For example, we planned on having an alliance with Titan due to its prosperous population, making it easier to win wars directed as us. See, the point of this game is to make the right decisions ( although you may not exactly know at that point in time ) with the right people, expecting that you will not be back-stabbed during the final round. You have to know who you're playing against and it's best if you know the people from the other group cause you get along with them anyway, so why not just team up against another village? I understand that Rhea and Titan both had the highest populations, but don't you think it's essential that you create a bond between you and the other group too? I know that if I had another good friend there, I'd know what she'd do and then abuse that knowledge. I'd tell my group: "No, she won't attack us."
     But then again, it's a game of luck and trust. It's hard to tell what's going to happen and who's going to do what because hey. People want to win. People want to have a feeling of satisfaction, a sense of pride. Titan had declared war on Rhea at the end, even when it wasn't necessary. There's enough for you all, so why not just leave it at that? It would have been possible for my village to survive that drought as well, if not for that sentence 2-3 sentences ago.
     Sometimes it's hard to understand what goes through one's mind when dealing with global economic issues. And I, for one, have no idea how the government does its negotiations but I'm sure that if I had the authority to choose, I wouldn't. Who knows if they're going to break the treaty? I mean, things were going fantastic last semester for Diplomacy, until ( insert person's name that I do not like ) moved over to that country due to the lack of group members. We would have won, if only he wasn't so blood-thirsty. ( D: ) Oh well. It's all a game, so I suppose it's nothing to make a big deal out of.

  She doesn't know anything anymore.
Can't decide right from wrong --
She can't do anything right .

And when she's right, she probably
has done something wrong in the process
and that's a trip-up.

The world is falling on her,
and she's falling in an everlasting pit,
unable to stand up,
unable to reach out,
unable to do anything to get her out
of this infinite misery .

loves sweets .
hobbies include flute, videogames,
reading, and listening to music .

I am in the c o d i n g step of this page .


♯Christine is (age)

x + 10
x = 4 + ( Year - 2009 )


In this example,

( x+10 )
x = 4 + ( 2009 - 2009 )
| = 4 + 0
| = 4

( x + 10 )
|= ( x ) + 10
|= ( 4 ) + 10
|= 14

I am 14years !

Next year

( x+10 )
x = 4 + ( 2010 - 2009 )
= 4 + 1
= 5

( x + 10 )
= ( x ) + 10
= ( 5 ) + 10
= 15
