UChicago Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@anxiousenior1. Yeah, they’re two of a kind: arrogant, blusterous, bullying and egocentric. I hope and pray that we do not elect or nominate someone like Trump.

@amandan25. Good luck tommorrow.

Same to you @DominicBayer

@DominicBayer I like to represent different countries to gain new perspectives. My last one was North Korea: I started WW3 during committee :))

@tutututututuru. Sorry, but GOP candidates don’t support escalation with Russia. First of all, we’re not at war with them or even in the Cold War anymore, so we can’t escalate anything. Secondly, what candidates like Rubio want to do is to stop making concessions to Russia and prevent them from keeping to prop up dictatorships like Assad’s in Syria and from stealing more land in Europe like what they did in Crimea. Trump actually wants to become chums with Putin, and Rand Paul and maybe Ted Cruz want us to avoid any big foreign policy actions.

Thanks, @amandan25.

@hope1938. That sounds quite interesting. That must have been quite an insane scenario; did you nuke South Korea and then make China and/or Russia help you against the US?

well I blamed all our problems on the US, proceeded to nuke Israel and South Korea, and buddied up with Putin to take down the US and Europe, while establishing new colonies on the moon

sooooo unrealistic, but even more fun @DominicBayer

@DominicBayer I guess I don’t know the policies of all the candidates, sorry!
From what I’ve seen though, a lot of them are very militarily aggressive, if not with Putin then with the Middle East. Fiorina especially seems to have a thirst for blood.

Hi everyone, I’m late to the party.

Does anyone have any idea what time the decisions will be released?

Early afternoon, @Ovni12

I know I promised to keep our minds off of admissions, but are the decisions coming all at once or across a certain span of time?

LOL, @hope1938. That’s so wacky that its cool.

@DominicBayer Basically depending on how many people you have you assign 2-3 people as the mafia who go and kill people. You have 1-2 police officers and one guardian angel. The rest are townspeople and nobody knows who is who. There is also a storyteller. The game is round-based, and each round starts with all eyes closed. The mafia “wakes up” and chooses one person to kill. They go to sleep and then the police wake up and choose one person to accuse. They sleep and then the guardian angel chooses one person to save. The storyteller who knows everything thats going on can make up a story and based on what the main characters chose. People then discuss about who the mafia could be and choose one person to execute. The goal is to catch the mafia people before they kill all the townspeople.

But as @tutututututuru said, it can be hit or miss. If you play with logical thinkers and people that care then it can be amazing. If you play with people that just like to fool around then it can go downhill really quick.

@tutututututuru. No problem; it’s all very complicated. I agree most of the GOP is hawkish. I agree with your characterization of Fiorina; she always looks like she had a bad night and is trying to make everyone else miserable.

@tutututututuru any idea what “early afternoon” means? 3? 4?

I’ve honestly been reading this thread for days and never commented. I’m glad we can all freak out together.

@Ovni12 we know nothing but early afternoon. The post actually said late afternoon, but somebody called and they told them early. So who knows. Basically, it’ll probably be some time on the hour after 12. Maybe including 12. So 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 central, probably.

I called them too and they told me early afternoon as well, so I second that :slight_smile:
