I like that. That's a nice effect line.
Have you considered writing this issue, Trotterdam?
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

In fact, you recently submitted a "people are upset that religiousness is declining" issue yourself, so this could possibly work as a last-minute option on there, although it kinda has enough options already and it'd be a bit disjointed from the main discussion.

Interesting. I can see why that would be a good idea and also how it could go horribly, horribly wrong.Japanese Schoolgirls wrote:My draft involves having the government give incentive for people to make proper citizen's arrests. For example, there'll be some cash rewards for catching litterbugs.

Hmm, true. I didn't think of that because the point of citizen's arrest is that it's mostly done by people who aren't career vigilantes, who just happened to be in the right place at the right time. But if you start paying people for it, you're likely to see an uptick in vigilantism. That would be fine for one option, but not the premise of the entire issue.Bears Armed wrote:We've already got an issue about costumed vigilantes, with an option to pay them... Overlap?

Is there an existing Issue that covers similar territory?
All information gratefully received.

No Adultery - Adultery is banned by several issues, and the ban is reversed in one issue that has quite stringent validity criteria. Low priority: An issue that reverses this with non-stringent entry requirements.

I count five issues that appear to remove the No Adultery policy, although this is misleading, as most of these do so as a side effect of banning marriage entirely (and if you later bring marriage back, the ban on adultery will come back with it). #314 option 2 appears to be the only proper No Adultery reversal.Fontenais wrote:Is No Adultery only reversed in issue #314? I think the entry criteria for this issue are that Nation must not have the No Prisons policy, the No Dissent policy, or the State Press policy. Is that right?
Yes.Japanese Schoolgirls wrote:In terms of going wrong, are you referring to the idea of citizens' arrest or the idea of writing it as an issue?
That does appear to be the only issue that specifically addresses nations with sortition, although several other issues can remove the Sortition policy as a result of people complaining about not having democracy in general, which are assigned to both sortition-using nations and autocracies, or as a result of switching to autocracy.Great Robertia wrote:I've been looking around in the collection of issues thread and the NSIndex, being only able to find one issue that specifically is about Sortition, namely #465: Lottocracy Causing Lots Of Trouble.
Are there any other issues that have Sortition/Lottocracy as their primary subject that I missed or is it a subject not yet that expanded upon in the Issues base?
