Are the powers-that-be still looking for a senate-reinstating issue? As per the first post:

Nation of Quebec wrote:
No Senate - Triggered by abolishing the upper house in 560. No reversal exists. High priority: An issue that reinstates the upper house.

It seems like an interesting concept that I could work with, while also being kinda structured for me to get started in issue writing...

Something like legislation passed with lots of basic errors—need upper house to review. Options with hereditary upper house, appointed upper house, elected upper house?

The requests list on that post was up to date apart from the "no courts" reversal, which was closed recently. So yes, we still need an upper house reinstatement issue.

Have amended and re-dated the post.

Who'se gonna maintain the big spoiler list, now that Jutsa's out of action?

Are there any issues titled "It's all Greek to me"

I might try and base one off this bill which almost passed in indiana.

I know the bill. I've drafted an issue based on it.

We got an issue like this yet?

Come to think of it, John Oliver presents a lot of interesting issue ideas honesty, like rent skyrocketing on mobile homes and such

Don't know. F€€king regional filter. How has Google not realised that VPNs exist?

Any issues about babies who were Switched at Birth?

Have we issues about local complementary currencies? Like the Brixton pound?
Not sure how I want to 'issueize', but would like to if this hasn't already been done.
There are lots of possibilities

Got a Dogman issue today and it inspired me. Would an issue where Dogman dies and @@LEADER@@ is forced to choose who the new Dogman is work?

I'd assume it's just the next person to wear the cape. That, or a different vigilante would take over. If we have dogman, then we would probs have hundreds of other vigilantes too. If one dies, then there's probs hundreds of other superherp wannabes to take his place. And I don't think that the nickname would matter

by **Trotterdam** » Sun Jun 30, 2019 2:42 pm

The entire point of vigilantes is that they aren't appointed by the government.

Ah crap! I forgot the issue I wanted to write

Do you still want that idea I gave you about how the people living on small islands are facing rising sea levels and climate change?

Yea, sure, why not

Stay tuned everyone, I'm writing an issue based on a 95 clip from a 1990's children's TV show. Here's the clip in question:

Also, @Chan Islands, I am still interested in your idea about global warming and islands. I just need more time for research and structuring, plus my life outside of NS

Eh, don't worry about it mate.

Struggling a bit with what to do with the Punch to the Capital issue. On the one hand, having it be more about a hostile foreign power pointing missiles at the capital would be interesting, but would both no longer make the title work and draws away from the original "Blitz" issue idea it's going for. On the other hand, it opens it up for a lot more players.

In addition, not sure if I'm sure about having it be cruise missiles. Perhaps in the original I ought to have stressed that the squadron of drones were just on a bombing run, not a suicide mission, but that would have implied terrible defences in a demographic who larp as very warlike already so big red X.

I want to revive some of my old drafts, but I want to know how far bac player submitted issues go before I do so. Are there any player submitted issues sitting in the "Yes" pile as far back as October 2018, or do I need to redraft these?

One of the editors recently told another enquirer that the pool of player-submitted issue drafts now contains nothing from before January 2019.

I am looking into an issue idea based around surrogacy and I was wondering if there was any other issues out there based on this? (Excluding #785 Born to be my baby)

Actually, there are some older issues hiding in the murky depths of the pool... but none of them appear to have been written by Aussie.
