The Current Draft wrote:[Title] Researchers Refuse to Recant Rebellious Raving
[Description] Your Minister of Science has recently come under fire by the nation's academics for claiming that giving plants the right music to listen to could increase agriculture output 1000%, several of the nation’s top scientists have set up a meeting to ask you to do something about this.
[Validity] Only valid for nations with moderate scientific advancement and high authoritarianism, low freedom of speech.
[Option] “Look, @@LEADER@@,” begins the noted academic, Nicholas Valrilov, speaking on behalf of his colleagues, “Mr. Lyenovo has demonstrated a complete disregard for the scientific method, his ideas are simply rubbish! If you were to enact some of his dribble, you'll doom our space program, agricultural sector, AND basket-weaving industry. It is of the opinion of the nation’s most qualified minds that you remove this dim-witted miscreant from your cabinet at once!”
[effect] the nation is beholden to the whims of a cabal of nerds
[Option] “These idiots don't know what they’re talking about!” shouts your red-faced Minister of Science, barging into the room dramatically, “these so-called ‘academics’ have always had it out for me, ever since I was a child even, they just don’t understand my astute and genius mind. This is slander against the regime and must be cracked down on! It's simple math, @@LEADER@@, any attack on me is an attack on the state, which is an attack on you! Have all these fools sent to the work-camps where they belong!”
[effect] the sky is purple by law and anyone who disagrees vanishes under mysterious circumstances
[Option][if: Socialist] “All of this science is too complicated.” Plainly states your Minister of Labor, “I don’t think we need it. All we need is the glory of the working class and none of this brainy stuff. Why not throw all class-traitor academics into labor camps so we can return to a more simple way of life, forced back-breaking labor in the name of the state!”
[Effect] the torn lab coat has become a symbol of the working class
[Option][if: Capitalist] “All of this science is too complicated.” Plainly states your Minister of Finance, “I don’t think we need it. All we need is to ensure we grow by next quarter, none of this brainy stuff. Why not throw all these useless academics into labor camps so we can return to a more simple way of life, forced back-breaking labor in the name of profit!”
[Effect] the torn lab coat has become a symbol of the working class
Inspired by this man. Decided to stray away from agricultural science in particular to keep the tone light, though it might detract some relevance. Though I'm still kinda torn on that decision overall.
Concerned this might be too similar to existing issues, but unsure of which ones specifically. Also unsure if options 2 and 3 feel too functionally identical. Would love feedback.
