This is really minor, but the description of #856 begins with a space.

Issue number #572, option 3, is missing a comma after the first word in the sentence, "Online."

#751: Shouldn't it be "@@DEMONYM@@ Department of Life, The Universe, and Environment" instead of "@@NAME@@ Department of Life, The Universe, and Environment"? @@NAME@@ works for, say, the United States, but not any other country.

Also, why is it italicised?

I think some felt in editing the italics added clarity to two rather complex names. Some countries use @@NAME@@ other @@DEMONYM@@ I don't see how you can say either one is 'correct'.

Not skipping this because I didn't read it, but because I'd prefer to have CWA weigh in.

Issue "Child Casino Shock" needs a third option because I don't want to outlaw gambling nor do I just want the option to ignore it and let child gambling persist.

If you want to rewrite an issue, open up a new thread. I agree that this is annoying, but some of the issues are supposed to be so

Confirming this is proper protocol. Rewrite the issue yourself, but keep in mind some on the team are very resistant to change to issues that old, especially the ones written by Max.

#528:

2. "Ain't nobody got the right to spy on my kin!" shouts Holly Moneypenny while waving a compound crossbow. "It's trespassing is what it is! If you can't climb through my window and take pictures of my house, why should you be able to do it with a flying doohickey? It's my god-given right to shoot down anything that violates my airspace, dagnabbit!"

...Isn't Holly a female name? The opening quite clearly described a man.

Fixed. Now it'll match whatever gender randomname comes up with.

"Droning on and On"? That can't be correct capitalization.

Issue "Thrown Into Sharp Relief" has 'skepticism' spelled as 'scepticism'.

It's a British variant spelling.

Option 2 of Issue 716:

2.“Although Frieden-und Freudenlandian Air is happy to accommodate all legitimate disabilities,” states Zelda Croft, a big shot Frieden-und Freudenlandian Air Minister, “obesity simply doesn’t fit the bill. People who can’t squeeze into our seats should examine their life choices. Besides, if Frieden-und Freudenlandian Air just gave complementary seats to everyone who asked, air travel would become unaffordable for the citizens of our glorious nation.”

I think it should be "complimentary," not "complementary," unless the author wanted to make a pun about obesity (and there are many obesity jokes in this issue.) But I couldn't be sure, and wanted to point out this potential mistake, just in case it wasn't meant to be a pun. Because people often confuse the spelling of these two words.

Fixed, thanks.

575.1 there is no variant for socialist nations... just got it on Equalito and it talked about companies and stuff

I will propose a fix.

In #371 option 4, I do believe that "why" should be "why not".

Speaking of mistakes.

Anyway... I just got #856 You Got Stones. Is this supposed to be a follow up to something? Because I don't remember sponsoring any sculpture contests.

I hope for your sake that you didn't take the "send them as gifts to other nations' governments" option...

I'm pretty sure that was a deliberate joke.
