[DRAFT] Censorship Catastrophe!

Postby Primanea » Mon Feb 15, 2021 10:01 pm

(I'm a wannabe issue writer, also I don't have a nation with more than 250 mil)
[validity](Validity: Must have the "Public Protest" in effect)

[description]After a protest by the "Censorship Be Minimized" campaign, people have been flooding your office with mail about the campaign with suggestions. You gather your advisers and discuss the future of censorship.

[option]"We should follow our the intent of our citizens, Leader!" says @@RANDOMNAME@@, a civil rights activist who is blind, wearing glasses. "We need less censorship, the people need information, my Leader! Ban the practice of government censorship, the people need to kno- why is everything so blurry?" She falls over. "Ow!" She awkwardly walks out of the room.

[outcome]"News outlets are having a hard time reporting the newly uncensored news."

[option]"Do we really need to listen to these people?" shouts a mysterious man who is standing by the door. "Enforce more censorship, my Leader! We should censor every word that even mentions this calamity." He yawns.

[outcome]"The news is extremely quiet for the past week."

[option]"I agree with this man!" says police officer @@RANDOMNAME@@, who is a very conservative person. "Infact, let's arrest the protesters and supporters of this calamity of a campaign. Censorship be maximized!"

[outcome]"Protesters have been arrested and are legally named [REDACTED]."

Repeals the policy "Public Protest"

Unfortunately this issue overlaps with a buttload of them. Off the top of my head, Issue #153 and #181 sort of already cover this. The entire concept of "Censorship" here is far too vague. Are we talking about censored news media, censorship in printed materials, simple conduct rules on truth and accuracy? The issue doesn't really make an issue, it just says "people are protesting a thing, do you want less thing, more thing, or even more thing?" You could replace the words "censor" and "censorship" in this issue with anything else and it'd still make sense. You should really give this some more thought, play the game a bit more and get used to how issues look. I also highly recommend you visit the FAQ and the Writers' Block before moving on. Right now, I'm sorry, but this is just too generic to work as an issue.

Edit: Also the joke about the blind woman falling over doesn't really make much sense. I'm not really sure what it's going for but it just kinda sounds like you're making fun of a blind person cuz they can't see...?

Drop this, it overlaps too much with other issues and your formatting needs some work.

...I mean...it's been about a week since the most recent post, there's no need to open the coffin to make sure it's still dead...
