Change blurb based on "skin"

Postby All are Equal » Thu Aug 17, 2017 11:25 pm

Would it be possible/desirable to change what a nation's blurb says depending on whether you're reading it with a Liberal or Conservative skin?

Most likely she edited the post to make the thread title more clearly describe what the thread is about. This by itself does not constitute any assurance that the request will (or will not) be done, but it does show that she's aware of what was asked.

To answer the original poster: the Conservative and Liberal themes were originally intended as an April Fools joke. Blurbs are longer than category names, and writing 54 new ones that all fit the intended spirit of the themes would take a lot of work for something most players don't take very seriously.

Yes. I use the conservative skin and when I changed to liberal it said I was a Suspiciously Conservative Democracy.

It's the little things that matter though.
