[DRAFT] A Tyrannosaurus Wreck

Postby RedBrickLand » Sat Oct 01, 2022 11:10 pm

Yes, I took this idea from Sedg. (Thx Sedg ;) )
I'll admit I'm not really feeling too good about this draft so feedback and suggestions will be much appreciated.
[Title]A Tyrannosaurus Wreck

[Validity]Invalid for nations that don't have dinosaurs and don't have automobiles.

[Desc]Migrating season for dinosaurs is in full swing, which means road collisions and accidents with migrating herds have also been on the rise.

[Option]"Two words. Wildlife crossings." states noted environmentalist @@RANDOMNAME@@. "It'll allow these gentle giants to peacefully migrate while still letting us humans to use our roads for transportation. Not to mention the fact that we'll be able to conserve their habitats and prevent habitat fragmentation. Please, do it for those poor dinos." @@HE@@ shoves a cute dino plush in your face.

[Effect]the nation is crossing new budgets with the amount of wildlife crossings being built

[Option]"If you wanna keep animals out, you gotta learn from us mate." says Ausblic ambassador @@RANDOMNAME@@ while holding a fruit basket. "We built a huge fence to keep dingos out and protect our sheep so you should do the same. Build a massive fence around your roads. If no more dinos can cross, then there'll be no more accidents. It's that simple. Oh and while we're at it, we should discuss a trade deal regarding Ausblic's largest export, fruit baskets."

[Effect]drivers often confuse the heavily reinforced fences near roads with those of border control

[Option]"I have a better idea. Tell people to use their damn eyes." says your down-to-earth and somewhat brash aide @@RANDOMNAME@@. "If people can't see a freaking 50 foot sauropod, then it's their fault. Since people are being stupid, we should launch a public awareness campaign to help educate them on how to prevent collisions with wildlife and dinosaurs alike. Maybe then people will know how to use common sense."

[Effect]running over an animal the size of a thumb outlined will cause people to think you're blind

[Option]"Why don't we just 'remove' dinos from the equation?" says infamous poacher @@RANDOMNAME@@. "With no more dinos... on the road, there'll be no need to worry about accidents and collisions. Just hire me and my boys to do the job for you and we'll make sure to do it cheaply and efficiently. We could even provide you with a souvenir once we... get the job done."

[Effect]T-rex teeth have become a popular pendant on chains and necklaces

Why is this specific to dinos?

Good point. I'll change the draft accordingly. Although, now I have two options on what to do:

A. Make the issue more broad and make it about accidents with all wildlife, not just dinos, or

B. Make the issue more specific towards accidents with dinosaurs specifically.

Which course of action do you suggest I implement?

Good point. Sedg did bring it up in the Writer's Block but I do also understand that the issue could pretty much apply to all wildlife, not just dinos.

Thanks. Although, I took this idea from Sedg. :p

promising, the number of dinnosaurs issues are really low, just like Sedg Said.

Either approach is fine. Maybe you can do both as seperate issues

Which dinosaurs are involved? Option 3 and Sedgistan's original suggestion mention sauropods, the title and option 4's effect line suggest tyrannosaurs, but the actual initial setup doesn't go into any more detail than "dinosaurs" and "herds".

Which, really, just highlights that this is pretty much just a generic wildlife crossing issue that doesn't particularly consider how the specific species in question would make a difference.

The main reason for considering making an issue about this is that a herd of migrating sauropods would look really cool, so you'll want to go heavy on the visuals.

#1290 is an issue about non-dinosaurian wildlife crossings, although it does focus more on the danger to the animals than the danger to the cars (perhaps assuming that the "red-faced @@ANIMAL@@", whatever that is, is closer in size to a raccoon than a moose).

Good point. I'll try to go heavy on the visuals in the next draft and I guess my best course of action is to make the issue really specific to dinosaurs and make options that would be specific to dinosaur species. Thank you so much for the feedback. :)
