Banner for stacking 4 different drugs in the tap water?

Postby Eris I Dysnomia » Wed Mar 29, 2017 8:42 am

Issue 220:

"I think you're approaching this the wrong way," says Andrew Lavelle, the proprietor of UltraCorp-SmithMax Chemicals Inc. "If people can't get out and about, it's clearly due to a lack of energy. Our product range includes an ideal solution; we could add POWERTHIRST [TM] to the national water supply! And better yet, it only has a very slight risk of causing zombification or exploding cattle!"


284:

"Drugs by one name, sacred plants by another," intones His High Holiness of a major religion, daubing holy oil on your forehead. "The Church has historically used extracts of consecrated substances to open the vistas of piety and bring oneself closer to the Supreme Being. With modern pharmaceutical techniques, we can easily manufacture enough to infuse the water supply of all of @@NAME@@, just like we do with fluoride. Is spiritual transcendence a less worthy cause than cavity prevention? I think not."


359:

"I have an unorthodox way to solve this once and for all," suggests your questionably sane Interior Minister, playing with a chemistry set despite the gravity of the meeting. "Instead of all that 'populism,' why don't we infuse the water supply with, I dunno, sedatives or something?" He grins maniacally. "Imagine how easy it would be to control the citizenry! Put the right drugs in the water, and I'm sure you'd have zero dissidents. Think about it: you could abolish all those superfluous legislatures and make yourself @@NAME@@'s absolute ruler."


597:

While you're still supine, a strange pale-skinned man shines the dentist's lamp directly into your eyes and begins loading a large metal syringe from an unmarked vial. "I have your solution right here, dear leader. Why not add these powerful painkillers to the water supply, under the banner of a new healthcare initiative aimed at relieving stress and improving quality of life? Then you can use mass addiction to control the population! A particular district doesn't like your new absolutist platform? Just reduce their 'pain relief' until they do! Imagine the whole populace desperately begging you for another hit!"


Stacking all 4 of these effects should award one hell of a banner.

Also #699.4

“Let’s just add synthetic EthyleneDiamineTetraAcetic Acid to the water we’ve got!” giggles chemist Jean-Paul Barnes giddily, unaware of the blank looks everyone in the room is giving him. “Oh, for crying out glayven. It’s so simple that any child of five, with an advanced degree in chemical engineering, would understand. By giving the whole population preventative chelation therapy, we can guarantee everyone can drink the water, without wasting valuable time and money on repairing pipes or bringing in fresh water. And sure, a few people might get minor side effects, such as heart palpitations, nausea, fatigue, blood clots, and death. But most people will be fine. Probably. So if you could just sign here...”

That one looks more medical than psychoactive - it belongs in the same category as fluoridation. Nonetheless, a fascinating find :)

My suggestions for this potential banner's design...
bubbly water with a rainbow visible through it?
or, if coding is possible, this game's first 'dynamic' banner to show the action inside a lava-lamp?

MJPEG or animated GIF should do the trick with few changes to the coding, if any.

I just got issue 699. Putting chelation drugs in the tap water DOES shoot your recreational drug use up to over 500, so it should be included in the banner's requirements.
This nationstate does not represent my real political views. It was originally more of a thought experiment as to what a one-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict might look like. It is now being repurposed.
