Maybe an option to allow them to exist, and to maybe follow their example, with some moderation. For example, to tell more jokes, and to be willing to laugh at yourself and your colleagues. "Perhaps, @@LEADER@@, you could don a silly hat at the next session of parliament, and in doing so show that you're a light-hearted soul and that you don't take yourself too seriously."

It's a little hard to parse - for me, anyways. Any way to make it a little bit more fluid?Don’t take politics or, better, life- so seriously- it isn’t permanent.”

Quirk of the keyboard, I guess. Fixed, anyway.Jutsa wrote:Ah, another problem I spotted, Fauxia - option 3 uses “smart quotes” instead of "dumb ones".
Huh... I legitimately am curious why.

I like this idea. I’ll think on it.Candlewhisper Archive wrote:Mind you, I'd be inclined to change the title to a more direct pun on parties as celebrations. BUt we can work on that later.

What issue are you talking about, because I can't find it.
If you mean the effect line to 182.1, Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament, then no, clearly there is no overlap.

I took some of this, thanks. Anyone have any objections before I submit?Shwe Tu Colony wrote:Bold words are my suggested changes.
[the issue]Satirists have begun to take advantage of @@NAME@@'s easygoing ballot access rules. This became particularly obvious when the Society of Internationalist Liberal Localist Yuppies (SILLY) nearly won a seat in Parliament on the platform of "growing money on trees" and "popcorn for all" among other tomfoolery. Political scientists predict that this may result in multiple seats for SILLY as soon as the next election.
[option 3]"I have a better idea!" exclaims comedian Jon Warden, while painting a smile on your face. "You can learn a thing or two from this, @@LEADER@@! You should spice up your press conferences with a little humor! Dress up as a clown every now and then, crack a few jokes. Don’t take politics or life so seriously — it isn’t eternal, after all!"

[option 4]"Everyone seems to be ignoring the obvious solution," remarks founder of the Church Of @@LEADER@@, @@RANDOMNAME@@, while removing the microphone that @@HE@@ had apparently installed. "You could get rid of this problem by doing away with elections and just installing yourself as supreme leader of @@NAME@@. That seems much more simple to me, and there will be less disagreement about it. Or if there is, you can just send in the military to silence the protesters."
