First off...
...flash games are for many different purposes, and usually the best have an extra motive than to entertain a pack of squabbling morons with poop jokes and strong language. It shows that the author had a purpose, a legitimate reason for making the flash that didn't follow the lines of "I need a fuller wallet." For anyone who wants to complain that this is a "lesson" that actually makes you think, there is plenty of bullshit for you to partake in, so quit wasting our time with idiotic comments.
Moving on, I found this a very interesting flash, mostly because it makes me wonder what your thoughts were and/or are as you made it. I translated it into two different parts:
1. The man who always is against the crowd.
I have had several friends who always seem to pick the opposite side of the majority, just to have that sense of individuality...the sense that they are fighting (and often succeeding) against everyone who sees things differently than they. Then when they have overcome, or at least mostly overcome, where else to go but start over and do the same again. What is different about them, however, is that they seem to never be capable of reaching the gray state. I believe this is in part because of my second translation.
2. The gray man.
We know the black and white. Your side versus theirs, whatever colour you choose. From what I have come to understand, these sides usually belong to those that are firm in their belief or opinion of something. However, the gray has always (to me) been seen as the area of uncertainty, where both colours mix into a new one that doesn't have as strong of a structure as the opposing forces. My girlfriend is actually rather gray on several issues, not taking much of an opinion on either side, but admitting that she either doesn't have a strong enough knowledge basis to make a decision, or doesn't have an opinion of either. In this way, I see the gray as something of an escape. I wouldn't expect a person with mixed emotions on a subject to try and convince someone else to share it with him.
However, I do have many moments myself where I hear two arguments and ask "Why not both?" If two plans are good, couldn't using bits and pieces of both be even better? Instead of a gray man...I kind of picture this as a striped man, patches of both ideas. Maybe my striped man and your gray man are the same person...
Anyway, I should probably comment a little on the flash itself...=P
The pixelated everything was, as pixels usually are, a little crude and such, but it was definitely all you needed to convey the meaning.
Nice job man, you have me thinking now...it's definitely a good thing. ^_^
