issue #246 help

Postby Weegee and Rick Steves » Fri Mar 11, 2011 2:06 pm

The Issue
Enthusiastic sports fans have been petitioning the government all week to apply for the much-coveted honour of hosting the next Regional Olympics. While most citizens are excited at the prospect of a @@REGION@@-wide competition in their own country, some have expressed reservations about the enormous expense hosting would incur.

The Debate
1. "WAHAAAAY!" screams @@RANDOMNAME@@, captain of @@CAPITAL@@'s premier division ballroom dancing team. "Finally, a chance to show the world exactly how great I am! Everybody's always complaining that @@NAME@@ never does well in sports and you know why? It's because we're never in front of the home crowd, that's why! We're going to need a great big stadium! No! TWO stadiums! WHOOP! OL-YM-PICS! OL-YM-PICS!"

2. "Oh great," mutters @@RANDOMNAME@@, spokesperson for the Angry Taxpayer Society. "That's all we need, more things to pour money into for no obvious reason. Surely it would be easier to just let another country host the Olympics and keep the cash? Then maybe it could go to something useful, like, I don't know... my wallet?"

3. "We'd be missing an amazing opportunity if we pass this up," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, your Minister of Sports. "But we've got to be in it to win! Simply building new stadia won't be enough, we need to be funding new sports centres and hiring the best coaches for our entrants! You could put more money into public facilities too, like gyms or something. Then no one can accuse you of wasting everyone's tax @@CURRENCY@@s, ha ha. Ha."

4. "There's nothing like a feat of strength to please the dull-witted masses, is there?" sighs @@RANDOMNAME@@, flipping through 'One Hundred Gambits for Advanced Go Players'. "It's so boring. Why can't more intellectual pursuits be given the spotlight, like chess or debating matches? Ban organised sports and make our dreams come true! I think you'll find it comes at a far lower price than the populist Olympics ever will."


What are the effects of all of these choices? I was sort of thinking about picking #2 because I want to increase my economy.

The first one made my economy go up by 10 points and my private sector grew. Got it a few days ago.

In NationStates spending state money on sports or poets improves economy. Refusal to do it can decrease economy. Providing subsidies to business from tax money generally improves economy in NS. It's stupid, of course.

I'm glad I found this already posted. I just got the issue today. Thanks for the heads up. ^_^

I'd think the last option would also increase the economy but oviously decrease civil rights, might also increase education a bit.

Really? Is there a way to check previously posted topics to verify this? I'd really love to raise my nation's education. Unless, of course, there are better issues for this...

Of course there are many education boosting topics. If you want to increase the chances of getting them go to settings and change issues to 2 a day.

I've had it set for 2 a day since I started, actually. I've gotten a few, but not enough to rank top 10% anywhere, apparently. Also, do you know if there's something designed for NationStates to allow players to keep track of how high (or low) their score is for nation education? A statistical counter, of sorts, that goes beyond what "Trends" shows on the line graph...

This is rather interesting. In a way, this will help me keep track of certain aspects of my nation. Thank you for linking this.

It actually hurts the economy since it eliminates profesional sporting events.

Well, regardless of whether it was option 1 of this issue or the option of another issue, my economy dropped about 9 points. And there weren't any visible increase of civil rights or political freedoms. Didn't really see much of an improvement at all, really... Still, I guess I'll have to wait for other issues to help raise what I need raised.
