Issues error

[Waffia]

After giving my opinion on the Harry Potter Censorship Row, my National Happenings said "military spending is on the increase.". After saying that the Death Penalty should not be allowed, it said "extreme political groups are outlawed.". And as you can see, they don't have to do anything with each other.
My trend adjusts to what my National Happenings say, so maybe the bug has something to do with showing the wrong dilemma, or giving the wrong signal after having voted. (e.g. voting option 2 for dilemma 3, after a few hours NationStates sends my vote as 'option 2 for dilemma 6'.)

All I know is that it's quite annoying, and leading my nation into a liberal disaster.

I haven't answered issues in MONTHS, so I can't say I'm positive what the results are/were for those issues. However, it's more than likely that things are working as they should and there is no bug. Issue choices often result in unexpected consequences. Hopefully someone else will be able to stop by later with more information regarding these particular issues - and it would help if you could share what option you selected.

Otherwise, check out the Got Issues? forum, as more information may be available there ...

The death penalty issue is absolutely correct. Read the issues more carefully, because this is what you legislated.

"I'm sorry," says Civil Rights Unionist @@RANDOMNAME@@, "but this travesty cannot be allowed to pass. If the government needs to crack down on lunatic fringe groups in order to keep our great nation free of the death penalty, then so be it. We must ban the politics of hatred and fear!"

As for the Harry Potter thing, that either IS a bug, or simple confusion about which issues you answered.

Oh, by the way, cracking down on political groups you disagree with and massively increasing your military budget are HARDLY what I would call liberal.

I guess I didn't read the Death Penalty issue carefully. I would rather have dismissed it. Because of my confusion and that bug, I accidentally voted for non-liberal solutions (I called it a "liberal disaster").

Honestly, I doubt there was a bug. You probably just dismissed the Harry Potter one and answered another one by accident, and then didn't realize it. Or something. But I doubt there's a glitch here.

I'm quite sure I didn't dismiss it. I never dismiss an issue, and I never did that. What could be possible, on the other hand, is that I'm confused with my other nation, Upska. After looking at that nation, I'm sure that the Harry Potter issue was at my other nation.
But then I still don't know where "military spending is on the increase." came from...

But then I still don't know where "military spending is on the increase." came from...

That's cause by selecting the first option of the issue "#014: Military Demands Increased Spending".

I've already voted for that issue, but that was against it. And that issue was the issue I got on the first day. So I don't know why I have that now.

After choosing for option 5 at issue #231 (spoiler alert!), it says...

"the government has taken a 'sort it out yourselves' approach to fighting malaria."

This is NOT what I voted for. Didn't option 5 say...

that they would educate the citizens

?

[Sedgistan]

Yes, it would educate the citizens to sort it out themselves. I suggest reading the FAQs, specifically:

Why is my nation so weird?

Everything is exaggerated a little. Well, okay, a lot. Your decisions affect your nation very strongly, so your country might seem like a more extreme version of what you were aiming for. Unless you have radical politics. In which case you probably think nothing's wrong.

My decision had unintended consequences!

Yep, that'll happen. For one thing, see "Why is my nation so weird?" above. For another, pretty much every decision you make will involve a trade-off of some kind. It's kind of an exercise in choosing the best of a bunch of bad options. You might find this frustrating, especially if you're the kind of person who thinks the solutions to all the world's problems are obvious.

That appears to be correct also. That descriptor certainly doesn't fit any of the other options, and if you think about it, that option really does leave people to fend for themselves. Telling people mosquito nets keep out mosquitoes isn't really a huge benefit.

As far as the military thing, I don't know what to tell you. You may have gotten it twice and voted differently thinking you were on another nation or something? Whatever the case may be, I'm POSITIVE at this point it's not a bug. Worst case scenario it was a one time glitch.

[Waffia]

The military thing was probably just confusion, yes.
And since the Malaria issue didn't do anything bad, I'll just leave that problem behind.
