Bad Person

Written on October 5, 2009

This works in Firefox and in IE8 but I’m still debugging IE7. Sorry, folks.

I’d like to unpack a game that we often play.

It’s called the “Bad Person” game.
Fundamentalist Christians are particularly fond of it, I’m sorry to say.
It’s very simple. You have to make it through life without being bad.

There’s even an electronic version of the game.

Do you have what it takes to make it to glory?


Arrow keys navigate, enter will shrive you, granting divine forgiveness. If the annoying scroll with the arrow keys bothers you, you can use the alternate navigation keys ‘w’,'a’,’s’,'d’. Or you can launch the standalone version

    Umm… I’m not sure that ‘informative’ is the best word. I might go with something more like, ‘unformative’.

    I’m just sayin’.

    seems to be set up to discourage one! No hope of winning with this game.

    ??? Just move the little red square over to the yellow square (glory). Once you get there, you win.

    That’s a great link. Who knew that Sweden could be the source of so many bad people?
