[SUBMITTED] A Borderline Addiction

Postby Jutsa » Mon Apr 15, 2019 8:06 pm

So I think you all can guess where this idea comes from... :lol:

Title: A Borderline Addiction
The Issue: The prime minister of South Nobivindia, bordering the southwestern edge of your nation, has taken aggressive measures to fight ongoing opium usage. The issue? The same minister has repeatedly claimed their drugs are coming from @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ cartels, going as far as to say in a recent international conference that @@NAME@@ is full of criminals and drug smugglers.
Validity: High recreational drug use

Option 1: "The nerve of that psychopath, claiming we're the problem," cries your Minister of Defense, hiding a syringe in a suitcase full of Nobivindian currency. "Well you know what? We'll give them exactly what they want. We'll see what problems they have with border security once we put tanks along their border! Oh, and clamp down on travel between our nations! Then they'll see we're not the problem! They'll ALL see!"
[effect] crime is less negated and more pushed in another direction

Validity: Drugs are illegal
Option 2a: "They say we're full of crime lords and drug pushers? Then they couldn't be more right," says your staunchly tough-on-crime and hard-on-drugs Deputy Minister of Law and Order. "We need to crack down on illicit drug trade, boost our police funding, and have drug traffickers stoned to death. Maybe then South Nobovindia will warm up to us a little."
[effect] specialty dealers are hung up on charges of high crimes

Validity: Drugs are legal
Option 2b: "They say we're full of crime lords and drug pushers? Then they couldn't be more right," says your staunchly tough-on-crime and hard-on-drugs Deputy Minister of Law and Order. "We need to ban the commercial sale of drugs, boost our police funding, and have drug traffickers stoned to death. Maybe then South Nobovindia will warm up to us a little."

Option 3: "We need to build a wall!" chants Edward Rump, wearing a "Say 'No' to Nobovindia" baseball cap. "It's going to be big, and it's going to be beautiful. I guarantee it! So much better than anything Southwest Noboboland could come up with — and I gotta tell ya, it's gonna be beautiful. It will be tall, it will be thick, and it will be hard. Indestructible even. And we'll even make them pay for it after we send them back their drug lords, i.e. the Noboovians, who are not @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@, because we're good people, and it will be beautiful. So great."
[effect] foreigners marvel at the great fence of @@NAME@@ while climbing over it

Option 4: "Eesh, can't anyone make a living doing borderline illegal trades?" inquires Dick 'Big Cheese' Freshman, smoking a joint and quite literally laying his cards on the table. "Look, big Dicky here needs to expand his business ventures, and if South Nobovindia doin't like our customer soivice, then that's their business to take care of. Of couise, it'd be a lot easier to pitch our, ahem, moichandise if you got rid of all restrictions on drug trade and let us open up to foreign markets. We could even cut you in on some of the profit."
[effect] rumor has it that @@LEADER@@ is part of an international mafia

Validity: Not Autarky
Option 5: "So the South Nobovindians are junkies, huh?" inquires your Minister of Offense, after whacking Dick with a truncheon. "You know, we could use this to our advantage. They have some fine resources that we can't obtain on our soil. If we intentionally flood their nation with opium merchants, and then drastically hike up the prices once everyone's addicted, then we'd have an entire slave state's economy under our control. Your move, @@LEADER@@."

Title: A Borderline Erection Problem
The Issue: Valeria Drake, the aggressive dictator of the rival nation of Blackacre, is threatening to build a wall on the Blackacrian-@@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ border to keep out dugs — and is demanding that @@NAME@@ pay for it.
Validity: Some Crime Rate; Emigration is legal (mostly cause of the wall thing, and tourism option)

Option 1: "The nerve of that psychopath," cries your Financial Minister, comparing the price of the proferred wall with the @@TYPE@@ reserve. "She's almost as unstable as that sad excuse of a country. We need to put up a barrier alright; a restriction on transportation between our two countries. If she wants less @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@, she'll get less. Lets see how their economy handles the decline in tourism."
[effect] tourists are being held captive

Option 2: "She's sending us a cleverly crafted message," says your tough-on-crime and hard-on-drugs Deputy Minister of Law and Order while crushing nuts in his fist. "She's calling us drug pushers and crimelords. And you know what? She's right! We need to crack down on our criminal activity and boost our police funding. Maybe Blackacre will even warm up to us a little."
[effect] a suspicious amount of Blackacrian immigrants are being arrested

Option 3: "She wants a wall? We'll build her one! A big and beautiful @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ one," says Edward Rump, whose hair currently resembles @@A@@ @@ANIMAL@@. "It's going to be beautiful, I guarantee it. So much better than anything Blackacre could come up with — and I gotta tell ya, it's gonna be beautiful.

The Issue: Valeria Drake, the aggressive dictator of the rival nation of Blackacre, is threatening to build a wall on the Blackacrian-@@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ border to keep out dugs — and is demanding that @@NAME@@ pay for it.

A player autonomy problem here. Is Blackacre my direct neighbour? Also, the premise says the wall is to keep out drugs, but option 1 is about restricting tourism to Blackacre. Also, why would @@demonymplural@@ want to take a holiday to a place that has an unfriendly dictator?

@drugs: I thought I changed that to "criminals"; turns out I just deleted an r.

@Player autonomy: I mean, I could also choose South Nobividia. I only chose Blackacre because, I mean, Valeria Drake.
But yeah I can quick change it. :lol:

@tourism: Fair enough. That said, it'd not be such a big issue if I changed it to South Nobividia.
(again I did quite like Valeria Drake used here though. Maybe if I could use Catherine Gratwick...)

I'd have made it trade sanctions as a whole but #autarky and plus that still doesn't really work with Blackacre.

Think I should just change the nation over to South Nobividia?

Problem is, it has to be a nation that, though xenophobic, is in higher repute than @@NAME@@. You don't see Mexico complaining about all those US immigrants ruining their nation... I think.

Also, it's Nobovindia, not Nobividia. (Both "bovine" and "indian" are possible sources of inspiration for the name, given the other issue it appears in.)

Idk, the US-Mexico thing's a kinda odd and irl-specific scenario, involving one kinda xenophobic superpower bent on military funding, border control, and a war on drugs,
and one place I don't know enough about to really make any statements about.

That said, I still like the idea of putting your nation in Mexico's position, even if the relationship's not at all similar.
I mean, the idea isn't that much sillier in this instance than it is irl if you think about it. :lol:
(I'd add an "ignore it" option but that's kinda like the dismiss button)

Yeah, but threatening to build a wall and make another nation pay for it is also a rather specific scenario. I'm not aware of a real-life politician having attempted that more than once.

Satirising Trump is always very easy, but it needs to be a little more than just reporting some crazy thing that Trump has done. I think maybe this issue needs something more to make it less on the nose.

Agreed. Decided after a year to make it a broader issue. :)

Pardon the 7 options, had to take both drug trade and international trade into consideration, alongside a pro-deals approach. :P

ed: Ahah, thought I forgot something: a new title. :roll:
ed2: also totally didn't just take the opportunity to sneak in yet another autarky reversal option haha

Right.

ed: added. Dang this draft has 9 (mostly variant) options.

ed2: Also made option 2's speaker a little bit more wacky. Don't want any remotely sensible options, now, do we? :)

ed3: OK, option 5 miiight also hypothetically remove autarky, but international trade really need not appear in the narrative so I think it's fine.
(Plus idk if getting people hooked on opioids for exploitation counts as international trade anyway)

So, umm, like, are they doing something about it? Merely saying bad stuff at an international conference is not usually something that prompts drastic action.

Tidied things up a bit. Still at 6 options, but that's a far sight prettier than 9. :lol:

I still think 2 needs two variants, but 1 was fairly easily condensable while 4 could imply opening up markets entirely for nations with autarky.
That said, I decided 5 should be restricted since nations without trade wouldn't exactly have a vested interest in trading with another nation. (duh)

So, yeah, this'll mean it's possible to get only 3 options, but I think for nations with both autarky and closed borders,
those three are probably the most viable options. :P

(also tweaked 2's effect line, though I swear these are the thing I'm lacking most in.)

edit: Oh, duh, right, also significantly shortened option 2(a/b).

Bump again~ Somehow made option 1 slightly longer, but I wanted to a) break up a long sentence and b) make the "They'll see" part wordier. :P

Might put this up for last call soon if there aren't any major problems that need addressing. :)

Re: the validity of this issue, I'd note that drug use in Mexico isn't significantly higher than in the USA, except right near the border. Generally speaking, supplier nations are not the same as customer nations.

Oh for sure. The issue premise is supposed to take on Mexico's perspective. :lol:
(as was the original draft before I updated it but I digress)

Of course, option 3 is a far more US position, but then again option 5 is a far more old-timey British position. :P

The same minister has repeatedly claimed their drugs come from @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ cartels


This could be just me, but consider phrasing it as "The same minister has repeatedly claimed their drugs are coming from @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ cartels".

once we put tanks on their border!


Consider changing it to "once we put tanks along their border".

have drug traffickers stoned to death


I presume this pun was intended and it worked. I chuckled out loud ;)

stoners get stoned and hung on charges of high crimes


Hmm, now the joke starts to feel a little double. Perhaps consider making the pun less obvious in either the option text or the effect line, as the pun becomes a little on the nose this way, in my opinion.

I feel perhaps this part can be left out. The name and the way they're talking conveys the intended caricature clearly enough ;)

Overall, I think this issue is well-written and tackles an interesting subject. Of course, you're free to ignore my commentary, but a few last polishes will help, I think :)
