Could be a good issue. Just be sure to add some new story.
That is, in general, if you get an option that proposes something extreme, a follow up issue should NOT say:
You've done something extreme
1) Reverse it
2) Make it worse
Instead, the issue should be about a consequence. More like.
You've done something extreme. Here's an interesting consequence.
1) Address the consequence.
2) Address the consequence a different way.
2) Reverse the cause.

Issues of that sort do exist of course: the International Incident chain, for example, and #973 Guided Missiles and Misguided Men.

I remember something like that being drafted once, though I don't think it's in the game.Southeast Aleatory wrote:While we're on the military subject, I've had an issue about standard-issue weaponry languishing on my computer for years. Valid for only for nations with small armies and/or low arms manufacturing industries, the premise is that the nation's standard service rifle is (seemingly) obsolete. The options are to make a new gun and sell the surplus (if private gun ownership is allowed), make a new gun and destroy the surplus (if private gun ownership isn't allowed), train soldiers to git gud with the old guns, import more advanced guns and sell the old guns to other countries, disband the army and issue guns to everyone (only if private gun ownership is allowed), or just cut spending. Is it too specific?

A good trick is to do ctrl+f over the spoiler thread and then to type the word you're looking for overlap on, then do the same with various synonyms.

For these past few weeks and months, thank you for putting up with my often-not-so-stellar issue drafts and giving me the feedback I need to fix them and improve on them. The writing process was certainly fun, but it's just that I am planning to focus on something else for a change, such as writing and completing my factbooks.
To my fellow Issue Authors and Issue Editors, I really appreciate that you gave such advice to me as a rookie. Sorry I have not been active, or didn't really take rejection well at times. I promise that I will do better.
So far... I have no issues yet. On another note, should I still go with this one or abandon it? I don't mind abandoning it and opening up the premise if someone wants to write down more, but I was thinking on whether I can try improving on it before abandoning it?

You have no issues published yet, but that doesn't mean you've had no success with currently submitted drafts.
I note three drafts from you submitted, and only 1 in the delete pile...
