[Possibly Final Draft] Into Thin Air

Postby Spratly Islands » Sun Jan 19, 2025 1:44 pm

Validity: Not valid for nations without airplanes, or nations with low scientific advancement.

Yes, I know I need macros, it’s easier to write without them for now.

Introduction: Last night, Spratly Air flight 882, a plane carrying almost 250 of the most famed scientists and doctors in Spratly Islands on track to Brancaland, went off the radar over the large Blackacre Bay.

Option 1: “We need all hands on deck to solve this mystery!” exclaims Randomis Namis, a father of four. “My wife was on this flight! I don’t know what me or my children would do without her. Think of the relatives of these people who have gone missing. We need to allocate tax money into finding this plane! Think of the children!”

Option 2: “Does nobody find it suspicious that flight 882 disappeared over the illusive Blackacre Bay?” yells Randomy Namy, a famed military general, well known for his eccentric and untamed quips. “It was definitely those filthy Blackacreans. They are clearly angry that we found the cure for Maxtopian Fever before them! We must shoot down one of Blackacres planes, to get sweet petty reven- oh, I mean to teach them a lesson! Don’t mess with Spratly Islands!”

Option 3: “This shouldn’t have even happened in the first place!” says your Minister of Aviation, shaking his fist in the air. “Clearly, this means that our aircraft are not safe enough! We need to ensure that nothing like this will ever happen again. First, we will make our new planes with stronger, thicker, and more resistant metal, better controls in the cockpit, and cameras imbedded into the pilots coats! Surely this will deter any more breakdowns.”

Outcome 1: flight attendants freak out when a passenger is in the bathroom too long

Outcome 2: downing planes is the governments new favorite sport

Outcome 3: planes fly dangerously close to water due to their new military grade technology
:p

Why is this your "Possibly Final Draft" when you've literally just posting it and everyone's been sidetracked by Trump's inauguration?

Also, why are you namedropping your own nation in this issue?

Drafting a good submission, especially if you're new to it, tends to take weeks. Be patient.

I'm going to suggest strongly that you read the How to Write an Issue guide (pinned in this sub-forum, or linked in my signature) thoroughly, and consider its suggestions.

Also, as Tin says... this isn't the place to use your nation name. Issues are published for their benefit and usability to the entire NS community - not single authors.

I wrote before the issue actually started that I will not be submitting the issue with my name in it, it’s just easier to write my name in it, instead of writing out all the macros. I get it if you skipped over that part. Also Ive already made 3 drafts. And I have read the article, but I am going to reread it. Thanks for the suggestion

Slow down, it's been five days. Why the "final draft"? As your issue stands, it needs a lot more time and effort.

Some feedback:

Why are nearly 250 scientists (+ doctors), who all likely work in a diverse array of fields, being crammed on a commercial plane?
A more realistic scenario: A group (12-30ish?) of @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ scientists are aboard a research plane headed for Antartica (not sure if there is an NS version for Antartica, actually)

I do like that suggestion. I feel like it would be realistic that many people worked on the project, but 250 is a lot lol. Also I have said a few times that Ihave had a few drafts already. I should probably link them here.
