[Draft] Troubling Trolley

Postby New Galactic States » Tue May 17, 2022 3:01 pm

You and some of your advisors are walking down the streets of [CAPITAL CITY], One of your advisors talks about the new Trolley System that has been established, saying it will make traffic flow better than ever, when then you hear a Trolley coming down the railroad, you turn AND SEE SOMEONE TIED UP TO THE TRACK!, You realize you can pull the lever to save him, but if the trolley diverts to the other track….there are 10 other people tied to that track!, the question is, Who will we save?

Option 1.
One of your advisors states “The Person tied to the track is our economic chief!, we must save him, as he is a important member of the government!, i dont care if those 10 civilians need to die, we don’t know who they are, as far as we’re concerned, there are serial killers!, we must divert the track, even if 10 must di-”

Effect: [DENYOM] Will save your life, if your in the government…

Option 2.
One of your other advisors pushes the other man aside “We can’t do that, i dont care if that man is the leader of another nation!, these 10 citizens have a life to live!, they have family’s, and we need to save them, yes it’s sad that 1 man will have to die…., but it’s for the greater good”, he wipes a tear of his face as he stares at the one man tied up

Effect: People of [NATION] Love quantity over quality

I know this issue probably sucks so far :( so plz give me some feedback

I’ve been thinking of a trolley problem issue for some time now, glad to see I’m not the only one
However, the macros use @@__@@.
Maybe include an option where you break the turn switch, and the trolley avoids both lanes, but endangers everyone in the trolley

Hmmm, sounds like this issue isn’t that popular, I don’t think it’ll be published :(

I think that we might already have a version, but using a train rather than a trolley...

I made the issue so that it resembles the Infamous “Trolley Problem”

I'm afraid that since there's already a version with a train, that makes your draft obsolete.
