[TITLE]A Duty To Give
[VALIDITY]ineligable to nations with slavery
[DESCRIPTION] Recently, the idea of a Volunteer Hour program has been implemented in schools across @@NAME@@, where students must complete 10 hours of community service per year to graduate. Now, however, advisors have suggested that all citizens be required to complete 10 hours of community service.
[OPTION] ”Are you kidding me!” shouts @@RANDOMMALENAME@@, CEO of NAT-U-RAL Co. from his limosuine. “I don’t have time to go out and pick up trash. I’m doing the world a service by supplying the world with abundant amounts of natural gas! Surely that counts as community service.” He slowly rolls his window up before driving off.
[EFFECT] citizens complete their community service hours during the first 10 hours of the work week
[OPTION] Your cousin, who is sitting next to you, pipes in. “I think that it’s a great idea. 10 Hours of community service can change a lot, just think of how much could change if everyone had to do it. Of course, some people won’t complete their 10 Hours, but they can reflect on that in prison!” She excitedly bounces out of the room.
[EFFECT] woefully uninformed senior citizens are sent to prison for failing to complete their community service hours
[OPTION] “What’s so good about community service anyway?” says @@RANDOMMALENAME@@, your cranky Head of Department of Education. “It’s just a waste of everyone’s time. If you go and pick up trash, someone will just litter again. We could be spending our time focusing on the education of our students, or strengthening our military, but instead we’re worrying about serving our community, who should be serving themselves!”
[EFFECT] @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ tend to ignore fellow citizens in need

For Draft 2, I almost rewrote the entire issue based off of the feedback I received. I changed the Description to fix the problems with player autonomy, and I changed the Options and Effects to make the Issue more realistic. I contemplated leaving Option 2 out entirely, but let me know if I should keep it or trash it.

[DESCRIPTION] Recently, the idea of a Volunteer Hour program has been implemented in some private schools across @@NAME@@, where students must complete 10 hours of community service per year to graduate. Now, parents of students in public schools have proposed implementing this in all schools across @@NAME@@.
[OPTION] “My son sits around on his butt all day, I think getting out and helping the community will be good for him,” says @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@ as she gestures to her son, who rolls his eyes. “Not only will it help people in need, it gives the students a chance to be a part of their community and a proud citizen of @@NAME@@.”
[EFFECT] students who fail to complete their community service hours fail to complete their education
[OPTION] “We don’t have the time to do 10 Hours of Community Service with all the homework and projects our schools send home,” her son tells you. “It would be hard to motivate @@NAME@@’s students unless there was a reward for completing their service hours… something like some @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@.”
[EFFECT] students only “volunteer” for community service if they’re paid
[OPTION] Your cousin, who is sitting next to you, pipes in. “I think that it’s a great idea. 10 Hours of community service can change a lot. It’s great that students will be doing this, but just think of how much could change if every able-bodied adult had to do it. Of course, some people won’t complete their 10 Hours, but they can reflect on that in prison!” She quickly sits down and begins writing down ideas for service hours.
[EFFECT] lazy basement dwellers are sent to prison for failing to complete their community service hours

I’m doing the world a service by supplying the world with abundant amounts of natural gas! Surely that counts as community service… In fact, these kids could volunteer at my plant, if you don’t mind, of course.” He slowly rolls his window up before driving off.

I fixed up some of the errors in the Options, and I made some changes to the effects of options 1, 2, and 3 (even though they're not much funnier, I might have to work on them a bit more). I also changed the Description so that it would only include Junior High Schools and High Schools.

Notes: While I did look through the issues and could not find anything resembling this idea, I might have missed something. If I did, I apologize.
Like I said, this is my first attempt at writing an issue, so please let me know what I need to work on.
