[title] Are You Not Entertained?
[validity] picked #539.3
[description] As trial by ordeal has been brought to @@NAME@@, criminals have been mauled by vicious @@ANIMALPLURAL@@. However, many gladiators have won their fights, won their crowds, and are trying to win their freedom.
[option] “Strength and honor!” cries Mixerus Quadrilateral Meritocracy, who’s believed to have killed innocent people, as he bangs his sword against his shield. “Almighty @@LEADER@@, be merciful. Think of how the people would feel if their beloved leader changed from the...err, charming, benevolent @@MAN@@ they knew to a cold-hearted killer. Make the right choice; what we do in life echoes in eternity.”
[effect] slaves are incentivized to revolt
[option] As Mixerus leaves the room, your advisor, who’s also believed to have killed innocent people, scoffs in disgust. “What plebeian codswallop! How dare he try to dictate how you rule! You must put those undesirables in their place, if you don’t want your loyal citizens to think you’re weak and a traitor. The fact that you even hear from that peasant vexes me, I’m terribly vexed.”
[effect] the government has a sick pleasure in letting movements grow then crushing them
[validity] has Capitalism
[option] “Once again, your answer lies within the free markets,” teases @@RANDOMFIRSTNAME@@ Losewaller, CEO of the arms company Losewaller, smirking at their ‘catchphrase’. “If you sign this right here, I’ll be sure to give you the literal worst weapons we have! Think a weapon is genuinely functional? Refund them to me within up to 30 days! Want to give your soldiers a challenge? We’ll throw in a Limited Edition Albionian blade! Shields not included.”
[effect] elite veterans are matched against people with heavy sticks
[validity] does not have Capitalism
[option] “Once again, your answer lies within my direction,” jokes the Director of the @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ Arms, smirking at their ‘catchphrase’. “If you give me this much of a raise, I’ll be sure to give you the literal worst weapons we have! Think a weapon is genuinely functional? Let us handle them! Want to give your soldiers a challenge? We’ll give you an Albionian blade! But, give me THIS much of a raise for free shields.”
[effect] rocks are sharper than official state weapons
