[Draft] (I don't know a good issue name for this yet)

Postby Goldenlux » Mon Dec 09, 2024 3:58 pm

This is my first ever issue draft so I would love feedback.
The first spoiler is draft 1,
second is draft 2
Draft 1
Title: N/A (I would love some suggestions however)

Description: A teenage girl and her English teacher have made national headlines because of the slang word OMG. The girl had been reported and expelled from her school after her English teacher mistook OMG (which the girl had said apparently because the English teacher gave extra homework) as an abbreviation for the ¨Omega Mega Gang¨, a biker gang that had robbed the English teacher years prior.

Validity: Not valid in nations with a low crime rate, very low political freedom, very very low civil rights, or in nations with very high intelligence.

Option 1.
"This... This new language, this so-called slang is quite frankly disgusting." The teacher strides through your office door acting almost as if she owns the place. "Slang makes everything feel so... primitive. And if you allow this embarrassment to the @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ language, then we will probably end up like Brancaland. Remember what happened at the last world leaders meeting? They called half the nations in the world racist regimes and got away with it. Why? BECAUSE THEY USED THE SLANG WORD "DOPE" AS A COVERUP!" The teacher is yelling at the top of her lungs now." Oh, and that girl I expelled, the one who I "wrongfully" misheard, her dad is the leader of the Omega Mega Gang!
Outcome
ASAP is the new f-word.

Option 2
"Um... Like no." A girl leaning in a corner of your conference room looks up from her phone. You recognize her as the teenager who started the ordeal. "This woman is like, tots, cray-cray. She is meg exagg. I was like, chilling with my fam in her anti fab class when she tots doubled the homework. So I was like "OMG she's crazy." and she was like "Um, what the everloving heck did you just say?" and I was like um what? And next thing I know, I was like, not able to chill at school anymore so I complained to my daddy and he was like "Okay honey I'll do something about it." And he sent me here to tell you something about slang being great and everything and to give his company a lot of money or something. So like, yeah, don't even listen to this meg crazy woman. Embrace the slang fam!"
Outcome
A new dictionary comes out every day to keep up with the influx of new slang words.

Option 3
A drunken man stumbles into your office. "Well," he says, "I think I have a medium to this argument. The lady doesn't like this new slang language, and the girl likes slang. So why don't you use slang everyone knows. Old slang! Let me give a few examples." The man then drunkenly recites a bunch of vulgar words which would give a five-year-old nightmares. "Well, what do you think you sh---" The man falls to the floor and starts snoring before he can finish.

Outcome
Polls show that babies' first words' are more likely to be a slur then "mommy" or "daddy"

If this option is too vulgar, this is another idea. --> Option 3 alternate or option 4? A man stumbles into your office, clearly drunk. "I've been listening to you three talkin' allllll about slang for a while now, and I, Hobo Pete, think I have a solution. "A new language! You make a second official language, called Hobopetelish." He spreads his arms outward, as if unveiling something from behind a curtain. "Hobopetelish is an all-slang language that can be used as a way to abbreviate our great nation's primary language. For example, agahngan in Hobopetelish would be a slang word for unpasteurized milk in @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@. That way, every word will have it's own unique slang abbreviation, allowing slang to be a thing while preventing any grave misunderstandings! What do you think," He suddenly trails off. You realize he suddenly fell asleep and is now lying on your new conference room table, snoring and drooling.
Outcome
Teachers are now required to learn and teach Hobopetelish to their students.

Draft 2
Title: A lesson in Slanglish

Description: A teenage girl and her history teacher have made national headlines because of the slang word OMG. The girl had been reported and expelled from her school after her history teacher mistook OMG (which the girl had said apparently because the history teacher gave extra homework) as an abbreviation for the ¨Omega Mega Gang¨, a biker gang that had robbed the English teacher years prior.

Validity: Not valid in nations with a low crime rate, very low political freedom, very very low civil rights, or in nations with very high intelligence.

Option 1.
"This... This new language, this so-called slang is quite frankly disgusting." The teacher strides through your office door acting almost as if she owns the place. "Slang makes everything feel so... primitive. And if you allow this embarrassment to the @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ language, then we will probably end up like Brancaland. Remember what happened at the last world leaders meeting? They called half the nations in the world racist regimes and got away with it. Why? BECAUSE THEY USED THE SLANG WORD "DOPE" AS A COVERUP!" The teacher is yelling at the top of her lungs now. "Oh, and that girl I expelled, the one who I "wrongfully" misheard, her dad is the leader of the Omega Mega Gang!"
Outcome
ASAP is the new f-word.

Option 2
"Um... Like no." A girl leaning in a corner of your conference room looks up from her phone. You recognize her as the teenager who started the ordeal. "This woman is like, tots, cray-cray. She is meg exagg. I was like, chilling with my fam in her anti fab class when she tots doubled the homework.

Embrace the slang fam!"
Outcome
A new dictionary comes out every day to keep up with the influx of new slang words.

Option 3
A man drunkenly stumbles into your conference room. "Well, I've been hearin' yall bickering about language, and I, Hobo Pete, think I can help. You see, the problem here is that this woman disagrees with how this girl speaks right? So why don't you just outlaw speakin'? It would stop these silly misconceptions from ever happening, and I could finally take a nap at the @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ mall! How would we communicate? You ask? Simple! Use the official @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ sign language@!
Outcome
One gesture is worth a thousand words.

Maybe swap out English for one of NS's many canon languages? Bigtopian, Liliputian, etc. I think that would be better than assuming English is a thing in any player'a canon universe. Anyway I might edit if I find anything else noteworthy.

Edit: Yeah, theres already another issue with an option bout creating a new national language. The whole issue is reminding me a lot of that one.

Ok, I will look into the language thing. Also, what do you mean by you'll edit? You can directly alter my post or do you mean you'll suggest changes to the issue?

Edit: So should I change the alternate solution 3/4 to something else?

Might be corny but off the brain titles are: "To slang or to not slang" and " A lesson in Slangish"
Everything is canon except how people die here.

Why would an English teacher not understand basic English slang? Especially in an English speaking country. They had one job. Also, why would a teenage girl be talking about a fricken' bikie gang in regards to homework. Again, one job

I changed it from English to just a language teacher and the homework thing was made as an explanation as to why the misunderstanding happened.
