ISSUE IDEA: My Fart Will Go On

Postby Australian rePublic » Thu Oct 21, 2021 2:01 am

title] My Fart Will Go On

[validity] capitalists

[desc] "The Farts of the Pacific" was an amulet found by treasure hunters who were examining a 60 year old ship wreck off the coast of @@NAME@@. Whilst it was thought that the owner of the amulet died in the ship wreck, it turns out that she actually was a survivor and wants it back.

[option] "Every night in my dreams, I see it, I feel it!" sings Lewis Lovett, who headed the expedition to find the amulet. "Look, I spent my life savings on this expedition, and I had thought that she died! If she had died, it would have been mine anyways! And if it wasn’t for me, at the bottom of the ocean it would have remained forever. I should be able to keep it!"
[effect] thieves are legal allowed to keep their stealings if they put enough effort into their robberies

[option] "Grave robber!" Screams Geranium Duskdaughter, the woman to whom the amulet belongs. “I’d like to thank Mr. Lovett for retrieving it, but it’s mine, and I would thank you to return it!”
[effect] archaeologists are required to dig through centuries of genealogy in order to return their findings to their rightful heirs
[option] “Yarg! She's a fine amulet, she is, but she belongs to tha sea!" suggests a sea captain, who came to your office to show you yet another blurry black and white photos of his fifteenth "mermaid sighting" this month. "She was a good ship and crew she was, but if the sea didn't want tha ship, tha sea wouldn’t have taken har and all har belongings! Tha amulet belongings to tha sea!"
[effect] accidently dropping one’s belonging in the sea legally makes it the ocean’s property

I don't think the fart stuff adds anything. Potty humor is fine when it has anything whatsoever to do with the issue at hand, but here it just seems out of place. If you want to keep it, could we at least have some context why the amulet is called that?

We already have an issue or two about salvage laws, but spicing it up with Titanic references might be a viable way to write a new one.
