# 1152
Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting!
The Issue
A report in today’s news suggests that the recent martial arts craze may be getting out of hand after the latest in a series of incidents left over a dozen people in @@CAPITAL@@ needing hospital treatment.
The Debate
1/ “One moment, it was just two teenagers arguing over which had shoved the other in the cinema queue to see Knuck Chorris Meets Big Drago, then, as fast as lightning, just about everybody in sight was fighting!” exclaims Gabriel Cohen, a bruised and shaken businessman who’s being interviewed at the scene. “Not just kids, but shoppers and commuters too, kicking and punching each other, and doing poses like Drunken @@ANIMAL@@ right there in public! It was a little bit frightening. The government ought to ban teaching that sort of thing, and shut down all the Bojos or Hojos or whatever they’re called.”
2/ “Ahh, so a few young whippersnappers got a bit too lively,” comments @@CAPITAL@@’s gruff and aging police chief. “What’s needed isn’t trying to stop folks from learning how to fight, because they’ll always be doing that whether they call it Kung-Fu or Kung Pao or just plain old brawling. What’s needed is more police on the beat with better funding for our own training and gear. To keep the peace, of course.”
3/ “If this humble one, whose name is Master Po, might be heard?” suggests a passer-by with a long white beard that touches the ground, speaking to a broadcasting reporter. “The true problem is not that so many people are learning these arts, grasshopper. It is that unfortunately too many of their teachers have been focusing solely on the arts’ physical aspects without also instructing their pupils in the underlying philosophical principles that would lead those people away from welcoming violent confrontation. I suggest making the teachings of the Seven Sages of Old a core part of this country’s education system - not just for those who would then learn to fight, but for everybody who would learn anything. This is the wisest answer available.”

@1149:
Holy crap xD
Another excellent issue, Chan.
Thank you Aramanchovia and Darmen for the reports; I laughed several times reading this in disbelief, particularly at options 1 and 2!
Added Bigtopia to my list of NPC nations.
@1121.4:
Huh. Maybe it has to do more with whether @@FAITH@@ is unlocked. After all, you don't have that, Fauxia. :3
@1147.4:
OK what the heck is the validity on this thing...
It's obviously not "must have prisons" or "must have courts"...
was it just accidentally not reported with the fourth option the first time round?
If not... er, Trot? Got any ideas? Or an editor maybe...?
Gonna add this on NSI if it's not there already.
@858.4:
Nice, a text change. Crossing that off my list, thanks guys. Updating on NSI later too.
@1132:
lmao I said I'd get to this 12 days ago >.>
This was a massive change to when it was first submitted; guess that's why it took a little while.
The new option 3 is so brutal. ,_,
Thank you for the report, Aenglaland!
@1144:
I love it. Congratulations, Fardhin, and Altmer; a wonderful issue.
Thanks for the report, Ducktrap!
"I really gotta update this list" ~me a dozen days and a dozen issues ago
*notices every name is fixed* yeah kinda assumed that if I may be honest, but thanks for confirming it ,_,
@1079:
Woah... I don't think that one was even on my list ,_,
Gonna have to update NSI with that one, I think. Thanks, Trot. Also fixed Alex and Bart in option 3. :3
Still love that discussion between FJS and BA.
@1023.4:
Woohoo! We're on our way! Thanks again, Aramanchovia...? Idk what to call you, sorry. >_>
Guess this is the month of finding the options for nations with no contraceptives. Note to self: add to NSI :v
@1142.2:
Speaking of no contraceptives! Except, I already added that. Go figure!
I'ma just put (NSI) from now on to let me know to update that. >.>
@1151:
Yay! Fuf's back! Also, Bob Lawson has to be nonrandom. Nice to see an issue surrounding the ToY!
(If you couldn't tell I'm not using emojis because I'd have hit ten by the time I got to issue 1144.)
This's reminded me, I absolutely must separate ToY from OoV. >.> (updated list)
Thanks for the report, Trot! I love this issue; we finally get to see the Pizza Cult again, and see some of the culture of the Tranquility of Yellow.
... Holy Crustiness of Pizza Margharitta xD
Thanks for confirming option 4's restricted, Valentine. I think it's capitalist-only.
@1153:
Woo, thanks Gandoor! Congratulations on yet another successful authorship, Candensia; and a good one at that!
And yay, Kawandaland~ Still no new revelations of it, as expected. xD
Also holy crap, the organ harvesting cult strikes again! (also thanks for confirming my suspicion, Nation Tracker)
@1154:
“What is it about these debates that always attracts crazy extremists?” HA!
Thanks for the reports, Valentine and Candy; pieced together that Mike Shatner's fixed. Also, Maxhoover? xD
"unmentionables in a twist" fff.... flashbacks of my wood issue!
Added Brancaland to the list of nations. Nice issue.
@875:
Thank you, Aramanchovia; adding and fixing, hopefully on NSI later too. Gotta update my list with that 'un as well.
@914.7:
OK and this lol, thanks again!
... omg! IT'S THIS ONE! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
@1157:
Moltevino? Woah o.o Never really saw Romeo and Juliette so I imagine this is a reference. Surprised it wasn't Moltovea!
... Coxcomb.
Yeah... good issue xD
Adding Moltevino and info about Marche Noire to the list. Note: Option 3 exists, for nations that have banned wine. I'd be shocked if that were removed since drafting.
Thanks for the report, Sougra!
@1155:
...
what... can I say? xD
Really, really good issue though. Congrats, Verdant, and thanks for the report, once again, Trot.
@1156:
This one was a cute and sad one. I received it myself, and... yeah. Thank for adding another issue about pets, CWA.
*looks at report* wait... I didn't get that third option. O_O Thank you for the report, Candy! Looks like option 3's for capitalist, non-vegetarian nations...
AGH THAT'S SO CRUEL! Also Trot said socialism prevents the entire issue... ok yeah, I see it now. thanks.
@1157.3:
Ayy thanks Divine Cervine lol
@1158:
Thank you both for the report, though Aussie's didn't have those buggy &something things.
Absolutely love it. Sexism against men, yet option 3 still finds a way. Awesome, I love the issue. :3
@1152:
Yeah, this is another awesome issue xD
Here's a question I've got though; is it Drunken @@ANIMAL@@ or drunken @@ANIMAPLURAL@@? >.>
@1150:
And finally we have mine. xD
Thanks for the report, again, Aramanchovia. 'Twas a fun one to write.

Trotterdam wrote:Since option 4 mentions a pizzeria "owner", I suspect a socialist variant, but have not seen it. My trawler has confirmed that the option or a variant can be selected on socialist nations, in any case. (In fact, so far, it has only been seen on a single nation, which was socialist.)
The Free Joy State wrote:I confirm #1151 has four options.
Update on this: I checked my database again, and while option 4 was 100% definitely available to socialist nations at one point, the last such sighting was on 2019-01-23 02:47 GMT, after my post (2019-01-22 21:48 GMT) but before Joy's (2019-01-23 04:26 GMT). This is consistent with the interpretation that it was originally available to socialist nations and was selected by them multiple times, but was then fixed as a result of my bringing the editors' attention to their oversight. In which case, oh, you're welcome.Valentine Z wrote:I'm not sure if this will be useful information, but for that issue, I have no Option 4.

So, validity seems to be on an existent Pizza Industry? I have none.

#1160: Milking It [Frieden-und Freudenland; ed:Candlewhisper Archive]
The Issue
@@DEMONYMADJETIVE@@ consumers have seen the prices of dairy products continue to skyrocket, seemingly without reason. However, a recent exposé by an investigative journalist has finally shed light on this situation: the three largest dairy producers in @@NAME@@ have conspired to fix prices.
The Debate
1. “Shame! Shame! Down with the cartels!” chants Yolanda Brown, an angry protestor, ringing a cow bell in sync with her slogans. “We’ve had to pay exorbitant prices for basic dairy foodstuffs, all because a bunch of industry fat cats decided they wanted to rip us off! You should immediately implement strict antitrust laws across all industries to prevent such collusions, and make these price-fixers pay a sizeable deterrent fine.”
2. “What? Holy cow! We were just trying to, uh, help our farmers!” exclaims Curd Holstein, CEO of MooMoo Pure Dairy. “Supermarket price wars were driving milk rates so low that dairy farmers were running at a loss, and struggling to make ends meet. Our noble goal was to improve their lot by increasing the prices, but nobody appreciates us! You should support and congratulate us, @@LEADER@@, as well as provide subsidies to the dairy industry.”
3. “It’s a shame that we have to pay for basic commodities like this,” muses embittered socialist Daisy Hayes. “Look, imagine you have two cows and... no, wait, that doesn’t work. What I mean to say is that the government should pay producers a fixed tariff, and then supply a milk ration directly to the people. That will prevent greedy businesspeople from endangering people’s health for profit, and ensure that nobody will go to bed hungry!”

Thank you for the thank you. Indeed, though I'm not always able, or even in the mood, to keep this list in check,
I assure you, as a whole, it is my pleasure to do this. ·^₋^·
... and looking at that emoticon, it looks a bit like a very derpy cat face, but I assure you the "ears" are supposed to be the eyes. ,_,
