It's not the end of the world if you can't think of one.
Some issues just don't really fit a three-spoked wheel. :P

Fair, but I think this one should probably have one. I've been stuck on what it is that it should have, though. :blink:

Maybe not. Input is welcomed.

Bump again. I'll put on last call tomorrow and submit within a few days if no grievances are filed.

I would still like input, whether positive or negative, before I do, however.

Something you might consider for a third option would be a twisting of the real life Permitted Protest compromise. Protests are permitted in the streets only with a police-issued permit and escort, giving sufficient time to arrange signage and detour routes for commuters, and ensure safety and good order. In a meta context, that would allow for a sort of big brother, police state game response, where the government uses the excuse of permitting to monitor protestors and prohibit what they don't like.

For the sake of humor with the fallout of the other two options, those could be talked up in crazy ways. The first could incline towards something like "protestors are afraid to even use crosswalks." The latter might be akin to "Protestors must walk to their rallys as no driver will come close."

A minor item in the first option text. Where it says "...comes barreling towards" it should probably be "...comes barreling towards them."

Thanks. I've added a third option, and changed the effect line for option two.

Still welcoming feedback.

Putting this one on last call, but I’m going to leave it up for a few days. Not a whole lot of commenting going on.

Yay, you found a third option and phrased it in a not-so-easy-to-pick way! :lol:

Good luck, Sacara; I think this one's a keeper, given how much a problem this is irl these days.

I'd have already submitted this. Go for it!

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
