You should move the policies link from the very bottom of the page to directly under the "All effect lines on one page link", aligned on the right side.

I don't think it makes much of a difference once way or another, but that does sound reasonable enough, so done.

While I was at it, I also switched to mostly using <div> instead of <br> in accordance with Minoa's request. I think everything pretty much still looks the same. It seems to have somewhat inflated file sizes as the upload now takes about 30% longer than before, but that's not the end of the world.

Thanks, I do not think switching to <div> is a bad thing when we are dealing with lists. As a side note my short-term memory has been playing up, hence why I have been using user-scripts to highlight things.

Hi, at viewtopic.php?t=446021 there is a concern that the results for option 1 and 4 have been switched. Please check, thanks.

I saw that thread already. I assumed that Frisbeeteria probably knows what he's talking about and made the correction.

This one is probably my fault originally. I'm not sure anymore, but I probably figured at the time it made more sense for option 1 to have the "international terrorists often get their weapons supply in @@NAME@@" line (since you're selling to anyone without restrictions, while option 4, even if it doesn't feature explicit background checks, at least forces prospective weapon owners to spend enough time in supervised training that there'd be a decent chance for criminal tendecies to come to light) and for option 4 to have the "no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines" line (since the government is actively encouraging weapon ownership by funding training programs for all citizens, rather than just allowing it), but apparently, the editors felt differently.

For now, I assigned the "barbed wire" line to option 1, in accordance with Frisbeeteria's statement, and took down the "international terrorists" line until I get explicit confirmation on option 4's effect.

[Candlewhisper Archive]

Fris is right, but you got a point there.

I'll not change it though, as it's a NoQ edit of his own issue. You might see if he's inclined to make that swap though.

[Trotterdam]

Not much of a surprise, but Bears Armed confirmed option 4, so I added it in.

"Investigative journalism into politicians' misbehaviour has abruptly ended."

Thanks!

I wasn't sure about this one as it was added at around the same time as the similarly-themed effect line "criticism of @@LEADER@@ is considered unpatriotic", which is probably #1000 2, but there was enough chance of them being the other way around that I didn't want to risk it.

Here are my nation's changes, if needed:

No, that's not needed or useful. But thanks anyway, it's better to have too much information than too little.

For what information is useful to me, consult the NAQ at the beginning of the thread.

[QuazzleTheQaz]

Same puppet of TheSwaggiestLoser's.

One small thing: #456 Heads Will Roll! has an unnecessary exclamation point in the title.

[Trotterdam]

One small thing: #456 Heads Will Roll! has an unnecessary exclamation point in the title.

Fixed. Thanks!

I'm not sure where that came from, since the exclamation point wasn't in Jutsa's thread or in any of the posted reports of the issue (even mine). Oh well.

(It'll be a few hours before the fix shows up on the public site.)

[QuazzleTheQaz]

483.4 actually says (for me at least) "Pizza parlors have been replaced by lima bean cafes."

It should've logged my trends too. Surprisingly, I'm the first one for it…?

Thanks! The reason for this is that the effect line for the option had been changed, and I still had the old effect line listed, which no-one was getting anymore. Now that I know what the new effect line is, I've updated it to correctly display that.

You're not actually the first, I have 171 data points on the new effect line (probably including yours, but I can't check that). You just couldn't see them before.

[Candlewhisper Archive]

So what you're saying is that I can create loads of work for you by cosmetically changing effect lines.

(naaa, I wouldn't do that)

[Trotterdam]

So what you're saying is that I can create loads of work for you by cosmetically changing effect lines.

Nah, as you can see, I'm mostly dependent on other people reporting the changes like this. So you'd be creating loads of work for other people.

[Trotterdam]

Due to the ongoing glitches in the happenings feed, I have shut down my trawler until this is firmly addressed.

[Polyspectra]

Just gonna post the results for issue 1100 (by: helaw). Don't wanna spend too much time, but I use the page so much, I just gotta contribute for new issues when I can:

[Trotterdam]

Thanks.

By the way:

Due to the ongoing glitches in the happenings feed, I have shut down my trawler until this is firmly addressed.

Since I'll fall behind further the longer I keep it off, I went ahead and switched it on again. Let's hope the glitching is over.

[Fresh-avaca-do]

What's with 544.3?

[Jutsa]

[CENSORED]

That might actually be the effect line?

[Sapnu puas]

[CENSORED]

That might actually be the effect line?

viewtopic.php?t=383767
It's hard telling but this topic might help.

[Candlewhisper Archive]

HA! Well, that's nothing to do with our side. That option definitely exists, and definitely has normal game stat effects. I presume that Trotterdam himself censored that one on his database because he found it offensive to his sensibilities.

That's pretty funny.

[Pomeranian Lamas]

[CENSORED]

That might actually be the effect line?

Have you tried it? I want to see what it does,but i feel like it's a trap with like -10 economy or whatnot xD

[Jutsa]

Naeh, I haven't. CWA said it's probably not actually [CENSORED] though.

[Chads United]

I don't know how helpful this is, but it looks like I got a brand-new issue. I'll share a screenshot.
