[DRAFT] Kissing in the Rain

Postby Aboveland » Fri Jul 10, 2015 4:57 pm

Title: Kissing in the Rain

Description: A few days ago, a wave of schoolchildren broke down into tears in the school cafeteria after two teachers kissed each other in front of them. This sparked outrage amongst your citizens; the most desperate of them came banging on your door to persuade you into taking a course of action.

Validity: Not valid for nations with low happiness/niceness

Options:
[option]"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" exclaims enraged mother @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@. "My children are far too young to witness kissing and hugging on the street between two romantic partners! It's indiscreet, and Violet knows it's wrong.", she claims while taping a 'Love = Evil' sign to your door. "You MUST prohibit public signs of affection and send young lovebirds to jail!". She finishes off by putting rhubarb lipstick on and putting some pepper spray in her bag. She adds, "It's bad enough we allow fornication."
[effect] Proposals in city squares have diminished 101%.
[stats]happiness decreases, niceness decreases, rudeness increases, civil rights decrease, compassion decreases, authoritarianism increases, religiousness increases.

[option]A couple barges into your office holding a bottle of champagne. "Surely you can't listen to that wacko, right @@LEADER@@? Affection is a part of humanity, and you simply cannot-" she pauses to affectionately kiss her new fiancee, "cannot stop us! If you ban affection, you might as well ban communication on the streets!" Using a "Make Love, Not War (Unless it's for Love)" lighter, she burns down the sign taped up by the latest visitor. "Let us be passionate with each other on the streets in any way!"
[effect] Urban sounds are completely covered by the passionate sounds of giggling in a plethora of smooching noises.
[stats] happiness, niceness, compassion increase, civil rights increase, rudeness and religiousness decrease.

[option]"Waaaait a minute," says underground nightclub mogul @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Why can't we have the best of both worlds? Legalize affection in nightclubs only, and open them all day long! We can even provide love stimulants! Meanwhile, the cootie-infected kiddies on the streets can enjoy their peace and quiet in cold hard isolation from fiery love." He puts one of the stimulants in his mouth before spitting it out in a slimy ball of goop, "Still experimental... don't mention it."
[effect] Fiery love in daynightclubs is plagued by faulty love pills.
[stats]health, average lifespan decreases, happiness, drug use increases.

Looks like it might be a good issue if/when it gets used.

Niceness is a stat, if you're wondering in your validity.

For the third option, would drug use not increase?

This could work. Let's see though.

Description: Should be worded clearer. I'd remove the ''Following a public outrage'' part.

Validity: Both those stats are a thing, so are valid. I wonder how relevant those are to affecting the issue at hand, but then again I can see why they are there.

Option 1 made me laugh, though I wonder what the significance of ''Stella Martha'' is, instead of just ''@@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@. And she doesn't come across as worried; I'd just say she's offended or angry.

Option 2 made me laugh out loud. I loved it.

Option 3 would increase drug use... but that said, stats don't matter at this stage, so don't worry too much about it.
This nation is modeled on being my absolute worst dystopia imaginable. In no way do the Annihilators reflect my opinions, in fact I am totally against almost every single policy they enact.
I support insanely high tax rates, do you?

I honestly really like to write issues.

Okay,

I reworded the description (basically, completely changed it)

Replaced Stella Martha with random female name (I had a reference planned for it but I forgot it now so it's pointless) and made her enraged as opposed to worried.

Added drug use to O3.

Any more suggestions?
