[DRAFT] Baggy Land

Postby Jutsa » Sat Jun 27, 2020 10:49 am

:)

Title: Baggy Land
The Issue: An unusual alliance of environmental activists and garbagemen have brought to your attention the increasing glut of paper and cloth bags that have been found littering the streets of @@NAME@@'s cities.
Validity: Followup to 261.1 and 261.2

Option 1: "These damn bags are everywhere!" shouts a familiar and angry looking garbageman. "Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled the worst of the garbage has been taken out. But surely now we must change the behavior? Make littering a punishable crime... one that must be repaid with community service! Yeah! That'll teach 'em."
[effect] wind has been charged with 50 years of community service

Option 2: "It's not the littering that's the issue, it's the bags!" cries a man in a bear costume which itself is in a park ranger's outfit. "We need to make everyone carry hand-crafted baskets. No more unwanted bags — just high-quality containers that, if lost, someone else will use instead. Only you can prevent urban baggification!"
[effect] an increasing glut of diamond-encrusted gold-laced baskets have been found littering the streets of @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ cities

Option 3: "Wye helaw deer, @@LEADER@@!" cheers self-proclaimed unintended-habitat representative and part-time road carcus remover Ramsi Ballo-Poga. "We need not be put in a zugzwang poseetion. I've been watching da niiiiice feeshes and marsupials sleep in de baggies and make dem der dominion! We need only monitor and archive der behaviors, and maybe, ah, more baggies smedged between dee houses, and we'll turn da grim into joy troughout da nation of @@NAME@@!"

:rofl:

I could, but I'd feel silly self-inserting myself in with editors and mods. :P

Actually, Gnejs is semi-referenced as "niiiiiice".
ed: cause apparently that's how it's pronounced. "nice".

Testlandia... huh. Have to think about that one. :p

This is really cute, and there's nothing wrong with putting yourself or other player-authors in alongside the editors and mods. The problem is that the parallels to the original plastic bag issue are too strong, and it will seem repetitive.

But seriously, it is cute. :hug:

Indeed.

If bag pollution cannot be an issue, maybe Jutsa can make this issue about other kinds of bags.

Do we have an issue about fake designer bags, for instance?

These dammed cloth bags cost money. Why would anyone dispose of them? Are they damaged?

Was mostly referring to the paper bags, but figured that cloth bags would be an amusing addition. :lol:

I'll try to think something up. Part of the joke was that it was a similar issue to the one it follows up on (hence the second option's effect line),
but if it's deemed too similar, I can at least try something else. Glad you all like that last one though. :)

(still adamant about having an option that supports basket weaving par something Bears Armed said though; also yes option 2's a vague reference to them)

Yeah, the referential tributes are very welcome, but I can't see this being a published issue.
editors like linguistic ambiguity more than most people
