Accidental Slavery?

Postby Gilberttia » Sat May 26, 2018 3:17 pm

I'm beginning to think, that simply stating "You can personally and privately own and use ANY and ALL animals?" and checking the "All" button off on the paperwork.............may have been a mistake.........

You misspelled "Homo sapiens".

"Sapiens" is a Latin word where the "s" is part of the spelling, there's no such word "sapien". In fact, "sapiens" has its own proper Latin plural which is "sapientes", although this is not used by the scientific community.

I think you have designated your national animal as Homo Sapien.

In my case, it was a blind man and his dolphin.

Probably the issue makes the maximum amount of sense for those nations whose national animal is "dog."

You haven't accidentally instituted slavery, you just need to change your animal. :p

You do not have a slavery policy.

If you wish to introduce a slavery policy, you will have to wait for one of the options that brings it in, which are currently #136 (Much Ado About Nothing), #190 (Immigrants Import Home Rivalries), #224 (Minimum Wage War), #559 (Low Aspiration Nation), #593 (The Right to Bare Arms), #710 (Feudal Feuds), and #878 (DoublePlusUnGood).

This is not an IC forum. If you wish to roleplay as a nation with slavery, I suggest you go to National and International Roleplay.

Finally:

I'm sure the editing team would prefer you not to respond to other posters like that. We like Got Issues to remain pleasant and constructive.

If you have any further queries with that relate to the issues themselves, please ask in GI.

If you put in something that isn't an animal as your national animal, you deserve whatever hilariously silly consequences you get.

That wasn't an issue? That was the situation that happened.
So i posted it to that, so people would know the context, understand the joke it was the animal thing, and have a good RP about it in Charactor, as planned.
Not to mention, i left all those funny options in the poll, and my original post was fully in Character RP. If i was OOC, my original post would have been "LOL i set my national animal to human look at this nonsense HA!"
So i dont really understand

But you posted a screenshot of your account having the issue, specifically the one about guide dogs (or dolphins, elephants, mosquitos, axes or whatever else you may put as your national animal). I guess somebody in the modly community decided that meant it should be destined for Got Issues?

But anyway, let's get a bit of RP in this place then.

In Chan Island we have very strict rules about slavery. Only people captured at sea by our pirates, who for some reason annoy the pirates in question either by being too snarky, dispiriting or resisting too much, get to become slaves. And even then, it's completely legal for the slave to run away as long as they then join up our pirate or bandit bands afterwards. If they make it to their home country, we send them a letter congratulating them on their adventure. :p

If that was intended to be roleplay, you need to take more consideration and time with your OPs to make that clear. Consider making use of the resources available to you. At this point, this has gone so far off the rails as to be pointless. If you wish to make a roleplay, make one, but dedicate time to your OP. iLock.
