Thanks so much.
If you want to write an issue about this, I'll give you what I had in my mind.

No, I wasn't planning on writing it. I gave the idea I had to Jutsa because I didn't plan on writing about it.Mzeusia wrote:Well I you were also planning on writing it, you should go ahead with that. I think you're the better issue writer, seeing as you have actually published some.

Name: Drone Wars
Description: Reported sightings of unmanned aerial vehicles (or drones) have disrupted flights at the @@CAPITAL@@ International Airport for several days. Inevitably, politicians, consumer groups and the aviation industry swarm around you, demanding action.
Validity: Aircraft is allowed.
Options:
[option] This option bans all drones.
[effect] The ban on unmanned aerial vehicles have left aviation enthusiasts grounded.
[option] This option bans all aircraft.
[effect] The ban on aircraft have left the aviation industry grounded.
[option] This option allows investment in anti-drone technology.
[effect] Drones are now the main course for the bald eagle.
[option] This option forces drone operators to pay compensation to affected travellers.
[effect] The hourly operating cost of flying a drone can exceed that of a first-class air ticket.
[option] “Minoa did it!”, squawks @@RANDOMMALENAME@@, a high-ranking general known for his xenophobic views. “the government of this mountainous nation has been snatching jobs from our country, but to use drones to cripple our main airport is the final straw. Give us the approval for an air show that Minoa will never forget!”
[effect] A stray blue tit is reason enough for a swarm of missiles.
[special instructions] Yes, I can handle self-criticism of my own nation (because Mary Sue is bad idea). Also, this is for issue 1x00.

Must be one of those things where you saw the issue, it sank into the subconscious, then resurfaced as what felt like your own idea. Reminds me of my wife complaining about one of her friends, who had the "gall" to recommend to her a brand of kid's accessories (of some sort, I tuned out) to her and her friends without recalling that it was my wife who initially recommended it to her. She put it down to bad faith and credit stealing, I said it was more likely to do with the unreliability of memory, and how we remember things in terms of narratives and stories, not in terms of facts or video-style replays.
Hmm... someone should make an issue about that phenomenon. Maybe something about miscarriages of justice because of the unreliability of witnesses?
Hell, now I'm SURE I've suggested that before.

Hehe, not exactly. I watched the news and there was a report on churches in Belgium being repurposed.
One is currently being used as a skatepark, another they want to turn into a supermarket.

Get with the times Belgium, when I was a teenage lamb, we had squatters in one church and punk rock concerts being given in it.

..."Credit stealing"? As you describe it, that sounds more like agreement. Am I forbidden from recommending NationStates to my friends if I have ever heard anyone else praising the game ever?Candlewhisper Archive wrote:Reminds me of my wife complaining about one of her friends, who had the "gall" to recommend to her a brand of kid's accessories (of some sort, I tuned out) to her and her friends without recalling that it was my wife who initially recommended it to her.

I guess I'd need to hear the exact wording of that conversation to judge whether "presenting it as something she had personally come up with" is a reasonable interpretation. Still, I'd wager that the majority of things people say, particularly when it comes to advice or opinions, isn't stuff we truly came up with ourselves. We listen to other people's suggestions, try them out, and if they work for us, we tend to propagate them.Candlewhisper Archive wrote:I think she meant that her friend, when presenting the idea to her social circle, was being disingenuous as presenting it as something she had personally come up with when she had heard it from her wife.

Also, I think you mean "my wife" at the end there, unless there's something you're not telling us...

Your wife? No, no, my wife.

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.
