[ON HOLD] Fizzy Nightmares

Postby Yodle » Wed Jun 03, 2020 5:02 am

[Title] Fizzy Nightmares

[Description] After an unruly encounter with an agitated constituent over the very serious dilemma of what the best soda flavor is, they begin speaking in tongues and place a curse on you. All seems well until you fall asleep that night and begin dreaming.

[Option 1] As you close your eyes, what appears to be a walking Maxi-Cola soda bottle approaches you. “@@LEADER@@, Maxi-Cola is obviously the best soda flavor in all of @@REGION@@. In fact, it’s so good that you should subsidize us and promote our flavor all throughout the world!”
[Effect] Maxi-Cola is the talk of the world.

[Option 2] Just as the first figure finishes speaking, a giant can of Sierra-Max comes rolling down a hill and comically knocks the Maxi-Cola bottle over. “Don’t listen to them, Sierra-Max is the superior flavor and you know it! Give us a tax break and the curse shall be lifted!” The giant soda can proceeds to make ghostly sounds as it disappears into the ether.
[Effect] Giant cans of soda continue to haunt your dreams asking for more tax cuts.

[Option 3] You awake in a cold sweat with your Minister of Health at your bedside trying to wake you up. “@@LEADER@@, are you okay?! You kept screaming about a talking soda bottle or something. Clearly this “soda” stuff isn’t as safe as we thought it was. We need to regulate this industry at once!
[Effect] Soda is no longer sold on the shelves.


Not sure if this has been explored in any capacity, but I thought I'd put it out there :)

I don’t think I fully fleshed out the premise in the initial draft of it, but what I want to convey in the issue is that in order to rid leader of the nightmares of talking soda containers caused by the curse, they have to take an action

I like weird premises, but this is too far out there for me. Why is this a problem? Why would I choose anything? What's the difference between options 1 and 2? Why do curses exist?

Why does Minister of Health know about @@LEADER@@'s sleeping habits? ̴͕̽I̴̥̔ṣ̶͋ ̴̳̓h̸̤̐e̷̤̎ ̸͇͌w̷͉̅a̶̜͐t̸̬̋c̶̢͛h̷̩͑i̶̲̊n̵̟̂g̴̘̋ ̷̙̇m̴̞̐e̵͚͝ ̷͇̀s̵̮̈́l̵͕̆e̴̖̍e̵̬̿p̶͉̆?̵̗͐

Sure, go nuts with this premise, but I need some context.

I like strange, all-out issues, but this is a bit too far. I agree with Ko-oren, there should be some context and 1 & 2 are basically the same. You could make it the soda companies against the health minister, if that makes any sense? I don't know, but this needs some work.

I’ve just come up with a whole new concept for an issue so I think I’ll just drop this one for now, thank you for the feedback guys :) If I come back to this again I’ll try and make it make more sense lol

This might conceivably work as an easter egg issue. Definitely not a normal one.
