Help us fix old issues

[Jormengand]

It isn't. This should be in the got issues section. I've asked the mods to move it though.

Merged into the 'Help us fix old issues', where you can see that it's already been reported

Issue 62, Option 3

"Actually, a lot of depression cases in teens are related to school and all the stress and pressure young people are under to succeed. A greater effort to correct the problem of depression should start there, with more funding so that schools can provide better counseling programs." Comments Dr. Mia Fellow, author of the book "Tomato Soup for the Soul". "That way teens who are depressed can get help even if their parents can't or won't take them to see a psychologist."

This may be nitpicking, but that should say "psychiatrist."

There's a difference between psychology and psychiatry.

There's a difference between psychology and psychiatry.

A psychiatrist diagnoses and treats people with a mental illness.

A psychologist, which could be a counselling psychologist, works with people in a therapeutic context.

Both can treat those with mental illness, the difference between the two is that the former generally uses medicine, the latter uses therapy.

Either works, so I'm not inclined to recommend a change.

When I answered my issue the update before last I believe it was a part of the National Happenings Event read "(Weed has found 1 Easter Eggs)". Not sure if worth fixing to you but there it is.

What's there to fix? You found Issue #223 by the looks of it.

Oh, the s.

[Squirrelsland]

I belive this issue has a spelling mistake:

Opposition newspapers have accused the government of abusing its control over the filibuster ban, which it can use to limit the length of legislative debate. You have consulted multiple people in search of solutions.

The Debate
1."Now, now, my friend," smiles the weathiest CEO in the Information Technology industry, reclining in a shady corner, "We simply can't have a few radicals dictate government policy to us. After all, we do know what's best, don't we? First it's this reform, next it's a slew of unproductive economic policies, and then before you know it they're limiting campaign donations. You can see that some issues have no merit, and are simply not worthy of debate. Perhaps we should even halt the debate before such silliness even begins...?" The CEO hands you a wad of Volts. "You agree. Now there's a good leader."

Yup, Ballo mentioned that one a page back.

Issue 310, Option 3

"The government, all the way up to Gerard Majella, has used this ban as a way to control parliament," declares Opposition Whip Sue-Ann Singh, speaking from the Floor, "They're perfectly happy to let debates about the most inconsequential of matters rage on for hours, but when it comes to a serious discussion of Gerard Majella's murky ties to prominent members of the Tourism industry or policies genuinely aimed at helping the general public, rather than a select few, the debate comes to a quick close. We must overturn the filibuster ban, post-haste. And I think it is clear to all who suffers from this. That's right, my friends, ladies and gentlemen, casual onlookers, convenient family members, cultural attachés, politically active tourists and constituents, both loyal and traitorous to the greater cause; the people. The people suffer the injustices of a government pandering to its corporate cronies, its oligarchic overlords, its necessary nepotists, if you will. They suffer the delirious - ah - deleterious effects of a government sans filibuster, sans fairness, sans freedom! This ridiculous policy ignores the fact that some things require longer and more serious deliberation - as does, indeed, this very issue. But I am diverging from my abundantly clear point, supported by the voices of a thousand-song crowd outside this very building. And while we might quibble over the numbers - a thousand, I hear you cry? Tens - hundreds! - of thousands, surely? But this ignores the fundamental spirit of the times - zeitgeist, if you will - that we stand against this filibuster ban clearly and unwaveringly. Anyway, a discussion of the genuinely humanitarian policies my party espouses, which require a debate of adequate length for the complexities of which to be fully understood, are quickly relegated as the government trots out its latest quick-fix or vote-snatching policy. Now, to move onto my second point of four-hundred-and-thirty-eight of my first speech - I will, of course, pass over to my comrade on the bench in due course." The security guards by the door notice your discreet signal and step quietly towards the Whip's podium. "Perhaps we should investigate further… excuse me…?" stammers the Whip, as your guards gingerly carry him away. "Ah … yes, thank you for your time."

That should say "suffer."

[Frisbeeteria]

That should say "suffer."

I told Panageadom and Lenyo (and others) that somebody would read the whole thing, no matter how odious and obnoxiously long we made it. See? Correct as always.

[Yahadreas]

Issue #0 (I think) - Should democracy be compulsory?

Option 3 says: "This raises an interesting issue," says Sophie Lee, your brother. ..."

Presumably Sophie is my sister?

[Frisbeeteria]

Presumably Sophie is my sister?

That's a problem you need to raise with your weird parents, not us.

Actually, the random names used in issues weren't gender specific.

[Yahadreas]

Perhaps he/she could just be my friend rather than a gender-specific sibling?

But then again, it might just be that my parents are weird. I do, after all, have a brother whose middle name(s) is/are "Mark Donald".

Option 1:
"These murderers took away took away our families and our futures", cries Victims of Violence chapter head Hillary Longfellow, holding a black-draped family photo. "The court ordered restitution, but most criminals have no money. These wardens are stealing the only thing of value these criminals still have: their organs! Give surviving family members the remuneration from these sales. It's the very least you can do after all we've suffered."

Maybe that person has a stutter/stammer?!

Also, blame Fris.

[Cerberion]

311 also has an issue if the user has set their city to have a "the" in it.

The Issue

A recent article in The the Dog Pound Naysayer has exposed a dirty little secret: prison wardens have been quietly selling the organs from executed criminals and pocketing the proceeds. Enraged citizens, particularly victim's rights organizations, demand retribution.

Perhaps making it something like:
A recent article in The popular tabloid "@@CAPITAL@@ Naysayer" has exposed a dirty little secret: prison wardens have been quietly selling the organs from executed criminals and pocketing the proceeds. Enraged citizens, particularly victim's rights organizations, demand retribution.

Example outputs:

If it doesn't match, the player can change it. Drop the 'the' from your custom field. Seems like a simple solution.

How does that make sense? Everywhere else that references the capital city accomodates the string that has been entered into it. You will note on your settings page that all of the custom fields like currency and animal are preceded by the word "the", while the capital is without a "the".

The intention in the code is that it is a free form string and should, therefor, be accomodated into the issues in the same way it is accomodated into the nation overview.

[Ballotonia]

Can you name a Real Life city which starts with "The " ?

Ballotonia

Den Haag?

Makes perfect sense. The animal and currency are referencing a specific thing. The 'Infamous Marxist Loon' or the 'pop-top' for example. The capital is referencing a place, such as 'Mare Loon'. It doesn't make sense to add 'the' in front automatically. The example you quoted used the @@CAPITAL@@ to make a newspaper. The @@CAPITAL@@ Naysayer. Given that capitals more often than not don't start with 'the', it's reasonable that the issue wording say the @@CAPITAL@@ Naysayer. In that example, it makes sense to add 'the' because it is a specific paper.

Given that it is a custom field, if it bothers a player that much, they can change it.

[Cerberion]

Den Haag? :P

Perhaps not a capital city, but there are several cities starting with the.

Here are some US instances:
The city- California
The Rocks - Kentucky
The Forks - Maine
The X - Massachusetts
The Holy City - Oklahoma

So, yeah, the in a city name is entirely viable.
