I think either there is a word missing before "warm seats", or the "and" should be moved from afterwards to before.

"Warm" is being used as a verb here.

Yes, that appears to be intentional. You can receive the "Mesozoic Park" issue whether you have dinosaurs or not (as long as you don't have a dinosaur park). If you already have dinosaurs, you won't see options 3 or 4.

“This game is an outrage!” says pointy-haired IT-manager Daniel Olaf Santos, who was recently permabanned from the site for repeated trolling and excessive picspam of phallic images. “Too many people waste their time playing silly simulation games and discussing LOLcats and transgenderism when they should be spending their time productively. Our economy cannot afford this nonsense; let us get rid of those online games, NationStates in particular!”

Recently I encountered Issue 535 "NationStates Destroys @@DEMONYMADJ@@ Economy". Option one states this:“This game is an outrage!” says pointy-haired IT-manager Daniel Olaf Santos, who was recently permabanned from the site for repeated trolling and excessive picspam of phallic images. “Too many people waste their time playing silly simulation games and discussing LOLcats and transgenderism when they should be spending their time productively.

Reading the bolded word shocked me, as it’s a rather offensive term. Previously an issue (about prisons) was also amended to remove this. I get that this scenario is different considering this guy is a trollish pornspammer so it may just be the characterisation, so if no change is made I’d understand. So I’m just wondering if this word should still be included. Thanks!

Wind and Void Rapture 1 wrote:Issue #903 "The Forbidden Fruit" needs to be updated to take into account sortition politics. Most especially, this line from option #4:
“What you call bribes, I call political donations,” divulges politician Stella Grossweiner, who hefts a suitcase that is bursting with cash. “Getting into public office takes millions of silver doves, and the average citizen cannot afford to do so. If you make it easier for politicians to receive donations from altruistic international investors, you could bring equality to politics and give even the most disadvantaged candidates a fighting chance. After all, if some legitimate Blackacrean businessman is actively interested in Avian politics and wants to help some idealist change Wind and Void Rapture 1 for the better, what’s the harm?”
In a sortition government, getting into office doesn't involve any money at all, and the average citizen emphatically can afford to do it. I recommend just blocking this option under a new validity check that stops it from being available to sortition governments.

The Issue
A [flagbearing] tourist was killed on an island inhabited by an uncontacted, neolithic tribe known as the Maxeliese. The victim’s family is demanding justice, but the matter is further complicated by the fact that the tribe’s island is considered Wezeltonian territory.
The Debate
1. “Those savages murdered my brother!” states Emily English, pummelling your desk in a fit of rage. “As they clearly don’t understand concepts like ‘respect for the rule of law’, you should bomb the island and send them back to the Stone Age! That’ll send a stark lesson to them and any other tribe that wishes to mess with Spare Flagpole!”

“Not even then are we truly safe!” preaches Matthias Rodriguez, a belligerent religious leader who previously accused you of colluding with demons. “That ‘game’ is nothing short of the work of the damned, what with the conjuring of cyber demons in our beautiful nation! Have you even looked at a Sedgetoise? It’s clearly modeled after the devil, and the Amorlax represents a forbidden depiction of the archangel! Did you know that you have to evolve them? In the name of all that is holy, forbid this Maxey-Pokey-Heresy!”

Thank you for your answer, what about this?

This particular option is one of more than 60 that I have on a list I'd like to get adjusted. Just need to take the time to try and get an internal consensus about about which ones need changing - some it's a couple words, some it's a validity for the option or an opportunity for a doppelganger, and for a couple the entire issue probably just needs to have a validity slapped on it and call it a day. Good looking out - file this under "working on it!"
