1318, 6 found (for nations with Prohibition and No-Smoking policy)!
This time with a slight change in wording compared to the 3-5:
6. “Methamphetamine is a lethal drug!” declares General Andrew Cheavers-Ciphil of the Army Medical Corps, as he hands out pamphlets on the dangers of narcotics. “If we want our troops to win battles, then they must be fully coherent and at the peak of their physical fitness — not pumped full of drugs! In fact, all forms of substance abuse must be banned in the military: not only narcotics, but even caffeine.”


while the others had "narcotics, alcohol and even caffeine."
The effect line is still the same as for 3-5.


EDIT: Oops, I sort of missed that one before. Option 4 is also for nations with Prohibition, but allowing tobacco. Wording is the same, except for the final "list", i.e.
4. [...] must be banned in the military: narcotics, tobacco and even caffeine.


Summarizing:
Option 3 (as reported by Deep Communism) for: (I assume) allows alcohol and smoking
Option 4 (as above) for Prohibition + allows smoking
Option 5 (same list as 3) for (I guess) allows alcohol but no smoking, the list is also "banned in the military: narcotics, alcohol and even caffeine."
Option 6 (see above) for Prohibition and no smoking

So 3 and 5 could also be reversed, but since it's the same anyhow, who cares, right?
Duh, what a mess of an issue. :eyebrow:

#1324: Wrecked by Wrestling? [Voxija; ed: Candlewhisper Archive]

The Issue

A little kid has accidentally broken @@HIS@@ classmate’s spine imitating @@HIS@@ favorite wrestler Bulk Bogan’s “@@ANIMAL@@ Tackle” move.

The Debate

1. “Ban wrestling!” screams @@RANDOMNAME@@, founder of the group People Opposed to Practically Everything, using @@HIS@@ sign to break your office window. “My deadbeat ex took my kids to a wrestling match once, and that was the worst thing that ever happened to them! They began beating up other kids on the playground — my little girl tried to bodyslam a teacher. She now says she wants to be called ‘Saraya’ instead of Paige, which is her real name and far more sensible. Outlaw this ritualised violence! Do it for the children.”

2. “I’m THE BULK!” bellows Bulk Bogan, breaking a pre-weakened two-by-four on his own forehead. “You want to know what THE BULK thinks about all this? Only THE BULK can make these moves, but if you kids wanna learn these moves FOR REAL and FOR SAFE, then en... enr... bring them to the BULK BOGAN Academy for Little Wrestlers!”

3. “A school for wrestling? That’s not what @@NAME@@ needs,” says Kay Faybe, your Minister of Party Pooping. “All @@NAME@@ needs is an awareness program teaching people that professional wrestling is in fact fake. Then everyone would just stop complaining.”


Bulk Bogan seems an obvious reference to Mr. Hogan, I guess the father's and the Minister's name are both random.

Edit: Macro-nized, names fixed where they're fixed. :)

Homecoming Queen Unexpected Result

Postby YayoKB » Mon Mar 09, 2020 11:14 am

Just got "Homecoming Queen". Chose the first answer as it was the most neutral, pacifistic answer. Turns out I just legalised religious worship. WHAT? How? My nation is strongly secular and I never saw anything hinting to religious worship being legalised once more in the answer.

Unusual issue effect reports go here.
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

The Issue

A little kid has accidentally broken her classmate’s spine imitating her favorite wrestler Bulk Bogan’s “@@ANIMAL@@ Tackle” move.

1. “Ban wrestling!” screams Wojciech Riker, founder of the group People Opposed to Practically Everything, using his sign to break your office window. “My deadbeat ex took my kids to a wrestling match once, and that was the worst thing that ever happened to them!

Confirmed that the parent's name is random. The minister name, Kay Faybe, is set. It is a reference to the term "kayfabe," which is a term in "professional" wrestling used to describe the presentation of fake stuff as real.

Ah, my issue (1325: Having Faith in Communism) just got published, but I forgot to save it so I could post it here! It might be a while before someone gets it again; I don't think there are that many communist theocracies. I might get it on a puppet; if I do, I'll post it.

Well, that was quick.
#1325: Having Faith in Communism
Author: Sensorland
Ed: Zwangzug

The Issue
Joseph Rushev, the Chairman of the East Lebatuck Communist Party, has accused you of “betraying the ideals of communism” by imposing @@FAITH@@ on the populace of @@NAME@@.

The Debate
1. “How dare this heathen accuse us of such a thing!” thunders your Minister of Righteousness, @@RANDOMNAME@@. “The teachings of @@FAITH@@ say riches are evil and that all people should help one another, and I think there’s something about seizing the means of production in there too, probably. In fact, it’s @@FAITH@@ that sustains socialism! Rushev is condemning his compatriots to an eternity of torment with this state atheism nonsense. I say we send missionaries to spread the word of @@FAITH@@ all around the socialist world, so our comrades can be just as enlightened as we are.”

2. “@@FAITH@@ is an integral part of our national ideology, but perhaps Comrade Rushev has a point,” notes @@RANDOMNAME@@, your ambassador to East Lebatuck. “We should stop officially mandating the worship of @@FAITH@@. Letting our comrades choose their own religious path will make them happier and more productive, and it’ll promote unity with our fellow socialist nations.”

3. “That doesn’t go nearly far enough!” shouts Maxist-Lenyoist scholar @@RANDOMNAME@@. “Religion is a tool used by the powerful to oppress and control the proletariat! To achieve true equality under communism, we must do as Comrade Rushev has, and ban not just @@FAITH@@, but all religion from @@NAME@@! Just think how productive all those old temples and shrines will be as factories!”

4. “Heathens, the lot of you!” ejaculates televangelist @@RANDOMNAME@@. “The pride of @@NAME@@ will be its downfall! Are we, as mere mortals, in any place to decide how wealth should be spread? Only Providence is wise and powerful enough to decide who should be extravagantly wealthy and who should be a beggar on the streets! Any attempts to promote ‘equality’ will only serve to incur divine wrath! Let the heavens choose who to reward and punish; abolish this heretical economic system at once!”

#1326: Hostile Hospitality

The Issue

Two missionaries have been arrested in the avowedly atheist hermit nation of West Fedoriah while supposedly on a sightseeing tour of the country. They stand accused of undermining the nation by proselytising on behalf of @@FAITH@@.

The Debate

1. “This is a clear and concerted effort to foment dissent against our glorious Republic,” phones in the West Fedorian ambassador from his embassy, a repurposed bungalow on the outskirts of @@CAPITAL@@. “Our legal system is very clear on the penalties for such a heinous crime: twenty years hard labour in one of our reeducation camps. I imagine our President might be tempted to show some clemency in this case, were you to make an entirely voluntary donation to his chosen charity, the World Atheism Independently Funded Union."

2. “It’s never been our policy to support this kind of reckless endeavor,” sighs religious leader Ali Hyde. “Well, not for the last couple of hundred years at any rate. Look, while I appreciate the contributions these two have made to our faith, it seems clear to me this is a diplomatic matter, not a religious one. Why don’t we leave them to their fate, and stop all future travel to West Fedoriah to dissuade any other wannabe proselytists?”


3. “These two holy missionaries are martyrs of the faith!” declares your Minister of Holy Wars. “Or at least they will be, after we carpet bomb the city where their prison is. We must show these West Fedorians that they can’t mess with @@FAITH@@! You must agree: a crusade to convert them from atheism to the one true faith is the only way forward.”

It was very quick to get Issue 1326, and it is obvious that this issue is only available to nations with a national religion Edit: my main got this without having a national religion. It showed up as "a major religion". Also the funny acronym of "World Atheism Independently Funded Union" is WAIFU.

Yes, the issue is based on RL events in The Melody Lounge in the Cocoanut Grove nightclub, which is an obscure and unfunny reference, I know, but I put it in anyway, more as a nod to the source than anything else.

Which Right Is Right?

The Issue

A long-awaited undersea tunnel linking Australian rePublic to the island nation of Albionia has been completed — and motorists are rejoicing, or would be — if it weren’t for the fact that Albionia drives on the opposite side of the road. Whilst the changeover happens easily, foreign motorists arriving in Australian rePublic sometimes get confused over which side to drive on, leading to an increase in accidents.

The Debate

“I’ve had a vision on how to solve this,” states Oprah Latham, your Transport Minister, as she places a name-tag holder around your neck. “We just need to erect more signage and road markings telling people to drive on the Australian side of the road. This simple and economic measure will remind motorists which nation they are in, and the accidents will cease.”

Accept

“These Albionians are a bunch of nincompoops and a few signs won’t stop them from driving on the wrong side,” complains traffic warden Winston Sanders, who’s notorious for yelling at motorists. “I mean, I caught an Albionian going the wrong way around a roundabout. How do you even do that? Everyone knows that if you drive on the left side of the road, go clockwise, and if you drive on the right, go anti-clockwise. Signage won’t help. We need to ban Albionians from driving here until they pass our driving test.”

Accept

“I have the solution... again,” declares Calvin Andersson, your Minister of Creative Solutions, as he uses one of his shoes as an impromptu drinks holder. “Why don’t we just make all our roads one way? Then it doesn’t matter which side of the road you drive on, nor which side the steering wheel is on. It only matters in which direction you travel.”

That doesn’t change anything in this case. Radician isn’t vegetarian. I assume the validity is just about the legality of fast food, which, though I don’t remember a particular time I restricted fast food, may well be heavily restricted, considering the way I play that nation.

I guess the validity for #1325 was changed by the editors. One of my puppies got it (War Dogs XV) which had a high Religiousness (1190), but no Theocracy policy. [It got so low after choosing option 3, hence now the Atheism policy and a religiousness of only 2.9, haha. :D ]

Hey! A new issue!

#1329: A Little Bit Short

The Issue

A recent exposé revealed that growth hormone therapy — an expensive treatment meant to help children who are producing little to no growth hormone on their own — is increasingly being prescribed to wealthy children who are just somewhat shorter than average.

The Debate

1. “I just want what’s best for my little Timmy; what parent wouldn’t?” asks Boris Yates, who appears to have bribed your guards into getting an unscheduled meeting with you. “Growth hormone therapy is completely safe and the best doctor money could buy said it was a medically valid treatment for my little Timmy, what with him being two whole inches below normal. Whether or not Timmy gets hormone therapy is between his doctor, my accountant, and me, not the government.”

2. “Great!” sarcastically exclaims Yates's valet after he has walked out of the room. “One more way the rich get it better off than the poor. My kids are even shorter than his, but I could never afford this treatment. You have to level the playing field. State-employed doctors should determine who truly needs growth hormone therapy, and the state should pay for it.”

3. “This is insane,” cries a voice whose origins you can’t locate at first, until you look down and find the wee Dr. Bill Harford. “There’s nothing wrong with being shorter than average, even way shorter than average. You can’t call something a ‘treatment’ if there are no adverse health effects associated with the ‘illness’ it treats. Ban growth hormone therapy in all cases and teach @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ to love each other no matter what their size.”

4. “I agree that the government should assure no one feels inferior because of the hand nature dealt to them,” asserts everyman Berger Harrison, who is so average as to be completely unidentifiable. “However, what we should be doing is manipulating the hormones of all children so that they all end up at exactly the same height. All men may not be created equal, but we can fix that.”

"Little Timmy" is a cliche, so that name probably isn't random. I don't know about the others, so I didn't delete the names.

Aww, I was about to report this one. Yes, those are options 1,3,4,5.

As for the names: the last two are set, the parent has a random name and gender.

Note, option 1 has some italics in it: "what with him being two whole inches below normal."

Interesting! So I've updated the directory; noticed that #1222's author and editor haven't been reported.

Also did the first spoiler of the first post on page 248 (Yes). So... about 692.4, is that actually option 4? Seems kinda... out of place there.
It's not before the last option like its capitalist counterpart. :P

Also I genuinely burst laughing at 699.3. That was a bit of a surprising criteria. :P

765.4's removal was unexpected, but makes sense. :v

Anyhow thank you for the reports, TalAkMaChen. You ever think about becoming the listkeeper, yourself? :P
