I'm in the process of making my first attempts to draft some new issues to post here in Got Issues? as WIPs for critique, suggestions, and polishing advice before submission.
As I've been reading through the GI forum to get a feel for what types of issues have been drafted before, as well as through *all* of the currently existing issues to get a feel for what already exists and how they're constructed, I've run across several posts by mods and editors suggesting to ask questions here about a proposed issue before posting it as a WIP.
So, I'm asking.
One of the issue ideas I'm working on concerns an ecological crisis that (hopefully) should be applicable to Nations with state and private economies both, if I construct it properly.
The underlying theme for the issues string is "A Reign of Frogs", which should be enough to give any of our Australian posters here an idea of just precisely what ecological crisis I'm looking at.
My question that I'm having some problems deciding how to specify the qualifications for receiving some of the Issue [options].
Are there previous issues that:
- Make agriculture legal/illegal?
Make pesticides legal/illegal in a nation?
And are these flags that can be specified for options so that nations who have banned pesticides get the organic option while less ecological minded nations are open to getting the "Just poison the heck out of it!" option?
Likewise, is it possible to specify "must have legal sports" and "must have legal gambling" for an option?
Also, obviously given the subject matter, actually having now or having had at one time an agricultural industry is a requirement... but if the Ban Agriculture option comes in game, then it's possible to specify that the precondition that initiated what's now becoming a crisis predates the ban. I hope. Right?
Thanks in advance.
