hey fpsers!

Hey! I'm Trillium's friend and I do FPS too and I'm also going to IC... I so never thought there'd be an FPS community on livejournal. I never thought of searching... well, anyway. I'll introduce myself ( Read more... )

Yeah, we've done all this research on Australian business crime, so we're like experts in that sector... but when our booklet gets marked in America the evaluators will be like "what? whats that?" It's a bit annoying that all the indicated research is American... I mean, for a world competition. Variety people!! I agree that the topic is huge... it's like one big umbrella... there's so many forms of business crime.

So is the national (or state? i don't know) topic at the moment terrorism, renegade_panda? That's a daring one. At least you'd know a fair bit of research off the top of your head. But try not to be paranoid. =) There's much more chance of walking out into the street and being run over than there is being in a terrorist attack. Besides, the main objective of terrorism is fear... so if you're afraid, then you're just giving them what they want.

We did terrorism already. It's confusing how you all do it. Do you use the same fuzzies as us then? I remember that for IC last year they had some articles on some Aussie publication (Quadrent maybe) cited in the bibliography. They were really good. It's hard with any topic that is so country specific though. I feel terrible learning such U.S. biased stuff, and it makes me feel unprepared, but that's what all the stuff we find is...

I find it interesting that for immigration, which is very everything-can-be-applied-everywhere, there's publications cited from around the world, but then for business crime it's all Enron and Martha Stewart. I suppose the only reason it's an International topic is that it's hard, really . . . *crosses fingrs and hopes for business crime in space or something equaly ludicrous*

Yeah, but there would have to be space law for there to be crime and that would be really screwed. This is one of those topics where you jsut know that a one-page fuzzy is not going to have anywhere close to enough information and everyone is going to have to make way too many assumptions.

Actually, renegade_panda and I are your trans-tasman buddies. We're Kiwis. Same school, but not the same team. It's currently our second practice one.

Wait, you mean you Aussies aren't meant to be doing Terrorism at the moment? What are your topics for this year?

black_trillium June 4 2005, 20:10:06 UTC

No- we're doing terrorism.
Also, Agriculture in the 21st Century... and something else. At least thats the scenarios.

Depletion of oceanic species?
