Just to let all you fans out there know.

The NS Political Compass (http://www.iol.ie/~roto/nspolc2.jpg)

The Compass now includes more than 300 NS players.

New:
Constantinopolis
Corisan
Potaria
Kervoskia
International Terrans
Seosavists
Charles de Montesquieu
Imperial Dark Rome
Lame Bums
Lries
Zootropia
Windly Queef
Pwnsylvakia
Calculatious
Isselmere
Lil Bush
Vaelon
Hogsweat
Chinkopodia
Roach-Busters
The Parthians
Blue Chocobo
Zarbia
Temme
New Foxxinnia
Omega the Black
Marrakech II
Yupaenu
Mt-Tau
Autocraticama

As expected, the NS community has shown itself to produce even greater political extremes. For example, longtime holder of "most socially libertarian" prize has been deposed by Potaria, with an amazing -9.81 social score! Similarly, Imperial Dark Rome has deposed VoteEarly from the "most socially Authoritarian" place with his insufferable social score of 9.88!

Economics Prizes
Most Communist: Danarkadia, Corisan, Kanabia, Europaland, Constantinopolis (tie)
Most Capitalist: The Empire of Jason, GnOoLoCoPeLep, Petsburg, Reinmar, Nova Roma (tie)
Most Centrist: Zooke, Strensall (tie)

Social Prizes
Most Authoritarian: Imperial Dark Rome
Most Libertarian: Potaria
Most Centrist: Zooke

The link to the chart will remain in my signature.

Cool.

That graph of all the NS guys and their compasses is just begging to have some sort of clustering algorithm applied to it.

How would I check where I rank among them?

Economic wise

Lefties to Righties are...


2 to 1

200 vs 100

I wonder how many of those 200 lefties are American?
How many of them are European?
Misc?

I'm guessing only a 100 of them are American, and the rest are around the world. Just a guess.

Hey, my region's UN delegate is the most capitalist. Go Conservatopia!

who's that?

Hey, I just took the Political Compass Test again, and my rankings have changed greatly, to this:
Economic Left/Right: -8.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.89

I am American, you may be suprised.

Hey...

Economic Left/Right: 0.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.36

I'm a bit late, aren't I? :D

Economic Left/Right: 0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 3.38

This is my political compus!

I think as a general rule people are left-leaning and libertarian. Now, I could go into a rant about it...but I'd rather not.

+3.50 economic
-3.28 social

go authoritarian communists! heheheh, there's very few non-centrist ones there looks like

hey how do I get on there?

Cool.

I did so for the previous version, here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=398003&page=3&highlight=compass) . Post #35.

It's actually quite difficult to establish robust clusters, apart from the authoritarian right-wing mini-mob in the top right-hand corner.

Hey, thanks for that Mr Hats. I even understood the vast majority of it - except for agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Maybe you could elucidate?

I don't get that word into everyday conversation nearly enough.

Oh hey, I am also tied for most Economically Centrist! 0.0 baby!

I want to be added. I'm an economic 5.82 and a social 5.12.

I checked the compass.

I just noticed that I'm in the box right next door to Bitchkitten... http://img227.exs.cx/img227/8438/pimp4tq.gif :fluffle:

I'm really not sure you want me to explain agglomerative hierarchical clustering in detail. ;) I really only referenced in through habit in case there was anyone else out there who knew the theory and wanted to know my methodology.

It's one of many ways of trying to identify distinct groups, each with shared characteristics, within a population. Basically, it means the software built up clusters of like responses by iteratively identifying those individuals most similar to each other and allocating them to discrete groups.

(Clustering is a 'soft' statistical technique, BTW - descriptive rather than modelling, involving a fair amount of judgement by the operator on what presentation presents the most information. For example, I had to make a judgement call on how many clusters to use.)

You obviously put a lot of time and work into this, Swimmingpool. Thank you! :)

Neat! I found me!

EDIT

Now all of those who didn't yet...put them in your siggy! :)

Oh, yeah! Gotta thank Swimmingpool!

Thank you Swimmingpool for putting me on there and working so hard on this! :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

For the next update--

Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.15

Whoa. I'm second closest to the exact centre now.

because my results seemed to have fluctuated...i just picked a medium.

Economic Left/Right: -2.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian 4.5

Anyways

I'm technically Canadian, but i consider myself more Israeli...so please list me under Israel instead.

I'm Jewish, believe in G-d, like taking long walks along the beach and my favorite color is blue.. ;)

And onions are a flavor food... it is only meant to enchance the taste when necessary...horrid taste when raw. X_X

Hrmmm ... no longer NS's most socially Libertarian ... who is the Potaria ... he must die! :D

I'd like to be added.
Economic Left/Right: 6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.72

Most NSers here seem to have ultra-left views.

I'd like to be added:

Economic Left/Right: 1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.56

Economic Left/Right: -6.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.28

Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.15

w00t, go me!

So, given this, we can say that the Political Compass is not calibrated to NS users. The center point for NS users is somewhat to the economic and social left of whatever the Politcal Compass sets as zero. NS makes me an economic right-winger...

Anybody going to answer my question? Post two or three....

How would I check where I rank among them?
Take the Political Compass test (http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/).

Nice lefty libertarian me!

Economic Left/Right: -2.75

I know you're all just dying to know:

*points to new signature*

Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.49

w00t for Liberal Socialism! w00t for pizza!

I'll be taking the Political Compass test again soon. Needless to say my Social Libertarian slant will not drop, but my economical views might change.

We will see what happens.

Thanks SwimmingPool, this really should be stickied (been saying that for a while).

I'm suprised by the number of social/economic Libertarians in the lower right.
Didn't think there were that many here on NS.

Economic Left/Right: 4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.49

My latest score:

Economic Left/Right: -2.38

I took the political compass thingy a while back but I'm not on the chart, how would I go about getting onto the thing or is it a members only club and I ain't invited? Here I am: Economic Left/Right: 2.88

I promise I'll upload a new version soon with loads of new NSers.

Strangely, that's probably where my country is too.

Imperial Dark Rome has deposed VoteEarly from the "most socially Authoritarian" place with his insufferable social score of 9.88!

Most Authoritarian: Imperial Dark Rome

Yes! I'm finally being recognized in the world of NS. For I am the one and only Mr. Authority.

My content-driven (rather than response-driven) posts are routinely ignored, except for a couple that I believe were nitpicked a bit.

three cheers for Swimmingpool for putting so much damn effort in :)

w00t



i really want to see who i share my square with this time - last time it was Dobbs Town and a couple of others, but now i'm a whole square to the left! :cool:

Swimmingpool

Great effort once again.

I did the test again and my score has changed pretty much. Now it's -8,25 and -9,49 but there's no need to update. I bet it changes everytime I do the test. This time I answered more from an American point of view and that's why the result was so much more "radical" than before.

Mine hasn't changed much, now its -5.44,-5.88

Great chart!

I'm:
Economic Left/Right: -9.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.82
