I wrote this article for The Rejected Times, and Sedgistan indicated he might be willing to listen to player comment about the proposal categories.
I have the following specific suggestions, and it'd be interesting to see if anyone else had thoughts:
- The Social Justice category should be edited. We now have a dedicated category for Health proposals, so there's no point having the SJ category require (at Significant and Strong) healthcare spending.
- The lack of an Environmental, Mild option is an ongoing problem. It means any general environmental proposal has to be "All Businesses", which is a big economic hit. Several past resolutions don't really justify such strength, but because they're not about a specific industry they ended up in All Businesses. Splitting All Businesses between Mild and Strong would allow for much better, more nuanced legislation.
- The ruling on On Universal Jurisdiction created quite a shift, and if that's to be the case - that enforcement proposals have to go in IS - then it might be worth splitting the International Security category. Why combine military and police spending when they're really quite different? A military/security proposal would have very different priorities to an enforcement/policing proposal.
