[DRAFT] Sam's Legit Oil Business in deep water?

Postby Tera Noachia Nova » Wed Sep 16, 2026 10:03 am

Description: Last month a S.L.O.B. oil rig named Gimmeedaguld exploded due to a drill breaking loose. Sam Yamanisworth insists on settling with you instead of going to court.

Validity: Not valid for nations that have banned fossil fuels or oil processing via previous issues.

1: "2 ZEALAND, YOUR DRILLS HAVE COST ME BILLIONS, THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" sam shouts, "@@LEADER@@, the reason my oil rig has exploded is because drilling through thick rock is hard and creates lots of vibrations. The drills I use (made by 2 Zealand) can't withstand these vibrations and in this case broke, destroying my rig. I want you to impose better drill safety laws. I'll deal with them later."

Fallout: drills that are up-to-code are rarer now as the materials are hard to get.

2: "This is insane! Not only because we're not in a court, but because they're demanding we pay three billion @@CURRENCY@@! Listen, @@LEADER@@, S.L.O.B. designs their own oil rigs, and I assure you our drills are very well made. Accidents still happen and it's their responsibility to make their rigs safe. I mean, just look at their tank arrangement! I don't owe them anything. Please, can you put strict oil rig construction laws in place to prevent this from happening again?"

Fallout: many oil companies start shrinking due to improper rig design.

3: "There's one thing to take away from this," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, Environmental Activist, "Oil is bad, destroying the planet and evil. You need to ban all oil and other notable pollutants like coal, gas and nuclear fusion and fission."

Fallout: people get a wisp of fresh air as all their power goes out.

4: "Okay," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, one of your advisors. "I agree that oil is one of the major pollutants, but that's not what we're discussing right now. An oil rig just exploded and people died! The explosion was caused by a combination of factors that have nothing to do with pollution. On the main topic, I do propose a compromise. The tank placement was awful but the drill has shown signs of faults so I say just impose laws on both but not as extreme as they are saying."

Fallout: the oil business has taken a minor hit but gotten out fine

Wouldn't they sue the company who made the bad drills, rather than the government?

Also who's Sam Yamanisworth?

Also, what's 2 ZEALAND?

What about:
3: "There's one thing to take away from this," says Environmental Activist @@RANDOMNAME@@, while '________'. "Oil is bad, destroying the planet and evil.

also You could say "There is only one thing to take away from this," and that would work probably

  1. Remove "Intent". Issue Editors decide it, not you.
  2. As already Australian Republic said, why this Sam? Who is? Wouldn't be better "@@RANDOMNAME@@"?
  3. In option 1 you should specify that Sam (or @@RANDOMNAME@@ if you change it) is talking.
