Ok, wait, is this satire?

I played the game for a bit...

"You planted a tree +5 points!"

"You recycled a can +5 points!"

If you get enough points planting trees and recycling, do you get to be king of the world?

uh, did anyone spend much time at the site? Beyond the synopsis given here?

Warning sign number one: Oh, you get to play it offline, by downloading the 80+ MB installer, but in the meantime, a pop-up window quizzing you on whether or not you've already had experience in being kept down by the Man.

Warning sign number two: The character profiles don't mention any attempt at the legal immigration procedure. Not even a mention of unfairly turned down application.

Warning sign number three: "The goal of ICED is to stay out of detention by making good decisions and doing positive things for your community. If you do these actions, you have the chance of becoming a citizen of the United States." Uh, what? Immigration status based on subjective bonus points? Really?

Warning sign number four: Playing on the semantics of the word immigrant. Save for some that we consider native americans, the US, that'd be most of us that are considered US citizens are either immigrants or the descendants thereof. Redefining immigrant to be a non-citizen is a bit appalling. Is this the usual fluff to avoid saying "illegal immigrant"? Dodging that by avoiding the newer nomenclature of "undocumented immigrant"?

Warning sign number Oh, forget it. I got into the intro and the whole thing smacked of baiting words and appealing to emotion to the point that calling it an educational tool would be a disservice.

I don't think I'm racist. But this seems pretty biased to an idea that I find a bit hard to swallow believing in the rule of law and equal application of the law.

But then, I might've missed the point that said it was a human rights issue to live wherever you please. I kind of saved that card for not getting tortured.
