[Draft] Rolling through cyberspace

Postby Cataleenia » Fri Aug 05, 2022 10:48 pm

[Description]While scrolling through your MyFace recommended, you see a post that says that you can find government files on it. Out of curiosity, you click on the link attached in the post but instead, it takes you to @@RANDOMFIRSTNAME@@ Astley’s Not Goning To Give Up On You. A phenomenon known as Cyberrolling.

[Validity]Internet

[Option]1. “Hey @@LEADER@@, why don’t you just outlaw Cyberrolling?” Asks @@RANDOMNAME1@@, a pro-truth advocate. “Did you know that over 78.2319% of @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ have been Cyberrolled? Even worse is that it uses a bait-and-switch technique so no body knows what is real ans what is just waiting to roll them. Come on leader, you need to outlaw it!”
[Effect]Accidentally posting the wrong link can get you a year in jail

[Option]2. “@@LEADER, don’t listen to @@HIM@@, if you ban rick rolling, you impact our freedoms!” Pleads Civil Rights Activist, @@RANDOMNAME2@@ while holding the book ‘102 Reasons Why Cyberrolling Is Cool’. “While it has tricked nearly 80% of our citizens, it’s just plain fun. It does no harm and the song is quite catchy, so please, keep it legal.” @@HE@@ the proceeds to load up the music video on your computer, blasting it out the @@CAPITAL@@ city hall’s speakers.

[Effect]You can never find the correct link in a flood of Cyberrolls.

[Option]3. “Y’know, we could use this to mess with our enemies.” Remarks your Minister of Cyber Defence, @@RANDOMNAME3@@, while pausing the music video. “Imagine if we bought online advertisements in @@REIGION@@ and when clicked on it would Cyberroll you! That would be incredible. All you need to do is just increase defence spending because, this is going to be a bit expensive.” @@HE@@ starts the music video again before he leaves.

[Effect]Advertisements are never what they seem.

[Option]4. You receive a video call from the C.E.O. of MyFace. “Why crash the economy by buying thousands of ads?” Asks C.E.O of MyFace, @@RANDOMNAME4@@. “If you partner with us for a small monthly fee of say, 15287 @@CURRENCY@@, then we would change all ads in your chosen countries and replace all links with the Cyberroll. All of that for a small fee of 15287 @@CURRENCY@@, billed monthly.”

Option 2 says Rick rolling, AKA the real term, instead of Cyberrolling, which you used. Also Option 1 says "no body knows what's real ans fake" which is a typo.

Option 4 is not Socialist at all. It should be fully reworked (socialism doesnt mean free instesd of license) Instead of the CEO of any company, make it the Minister of Internet or something. I also feel like the fallout of Option 5 should be changed. I'm not sure to what, though.

Yeah, I wasn’t quite sure what to do for the socialist option 4, thanks for the feedback, it has been changed accordingly.
