NationStates - Issues

[Mantis]

Und jetzt zitieren sie Shakespeare - also zumindest einige von ihnen. Die anderen verwenden die ganze Zeit Kraftausdrücke

...
wobei, das muss sich ja auch nicht ausschliessen

 

[Ysrthgrathe]

Ich hab bei meinem letzten Issue entschieden, Schriftsteller staatlich zu fördern.
Dadurch ist meine Economy jetzt auf Frightening, die höchste Stufe, geklettert.
Ja, macht total Sinn, das sowas die Wirtschaft ganz entscheidend fördert.
Moment, was ist der Programmierer des Spiels noch mal hauptberuflich? Ach ja, Schriftsteller.

Dafür sind meine Political Freedoms gesunken, als ich öffentliche Verkehrsmittel abgeschafft habe.
(Dafür darf man auf den zehnspurig ausgebauten Straßen sogar mit Panzern unterwegs sein, und zwar völlig ohne Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkungen.)

 

[Mantis]

Soeben die Studiengebühren abgeschafft und mit staatlicher Förderung von Studenten ersetzt.

Irgendwie verschafft mir das Genugtuung

Violent Violetists Demand Blood!

Government Acts

The Issue

Members of a new weird religious cult, called the Order of Violet, ask for the government to appease their mighty god by offering Her a sacrifice of the human variety.

The Debate

1. "What have we got to lose?" says religious freedoms advocate Billy Steele. "Just cut up a few homeless folk - it appeases this group's bloodthirsty Goddess, gets rid of unsightly bums that drain welfare, and everybody goes home happy."
2. "We must go much further than a few beggars!" argues the overzealous High Member of the Order of Violet, Billy Nagasawa. "You must pass a law that everyone's first born child must be slaughtered, on live TV if possible. Think of the viewing figures!"
3. "You aren't going to listen to these whackjob Violetists, are you?" comments Sue-Ann Trax while leading a prayer group. "Human sacrifices! Surely we're too civilized to permit such barbaric practices! These lunatic fringe groups should be outlawed, and their leaders should be executed!"
   
   This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
4. "Who's being a lunatic?" retorts Bill Li of the Gullikyn Humanitarian Society. "I agree that these practices ought to be outlawed, but instead of sinking to the same level of these fanatics and killing our fellow people, why not simply start a re-education program? Even the worst person can be rehabilitated into a useful member of society, with enough time, care, and lots and lots of funding!"

Theisten kann man gar nicht umerziehen, sollen sie doch *ihr* Blut bekommen..

..und ab morgen habe ich wohl eine Hauptstadt - mit rotem Platz, nehme ich mal an..

One Wife Is Never Enough, Say Polygamists

The Issue

A small religious group is lobbying the government to allow them to take multiple wives.

The Debate

1. "It's about time we had our religious rights recognized," says Clint McGuffin, a devout member of a faith that is never made quite clear. "Who is the government to tell me I can't love more than one woman? The government doesn't know how much of me there is to go around!"


2. "This is nothing more than sexual deviants using religion as a pretext for perversion!" says Reverend Alexei McGuffin. "Marriage is one man, one woman, and death do we part. What's so hard to get? Anything else is a perversion, and must be banned."


3. "Multiple wives? Excellent!" says passer-by Gregory Nagasawa. "Presumably we will allow multiple husbands, as well. And gay marriages, of course. In fact, now is probably the time for the government to butt out of marriage altogether. Let people marry their cats, if they want."

Ich will ja eigentlich einen furchtbar präsenten Staat machen, der demzufolge auch bei Heiraten alles entscheidet, aber ich tendiere trotzdem zu Antwort 3... Katzenehen!

 

[Branka]

Ich habe mich auch für die Katzenehen entschieden

 

[Olome Keratin]

Ich auch.

 

[Gala]

Um ...

[...] a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime is totally unknown.

Äh ... wie ? LOL

 

[Raldaf]

The issue

Due to the ongoing wars in neighboring countries, a recent rash of illegal immigrants have been caught at the borders of Typhon Primaris, prompting many citizens to call for tighter immigration laws.

The Debate

1. Roxanne Li of the Typhon Primaris National Purity League says "These illegal aliens are just an eyesore with their strange customs and funny languages. Uneducated immigrants like these only worsen crime and steal valuable jobs! I say we should boot them all out on their ears and put a big fence around the country!"


2. Akira Clinton of the Typhon Primaris Civil Liberties Union says "We must welcome these refugees from any nation into our open arms, they are fleeing one oppressive dictatorial regime in the only way they know, we must not let them think they're jumping from the frying pan into the fire!"


3. "Hold on there, hold on people!" says Buffy Wu of the Typhon Primaris Broadcasting company, "We don't have to take either extreme, all we have to do is make a TV game show out of it! We put deadly obstacles on the border and monitor it with television cameras! Those that make it across win freedom and citizenship, and those who don't, well, lets just say that our buzzards won't starve. We could call it 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?'!"

Tja, die bösen kriegerischen Diktaturen um mich herum, schlimmschlimm!
(Und ja, natürlich habe ich Option 3 genommen! Schwarzenegger ftw!)

 

[Branka]

Running Man!

Eine meiner Kreaturen ist sich meiner als Schöpfer bewußt?!??

Corporations Demand Political Say

Government Acts

The Issue

A well-heeled lobby group is pushing for the elimination of regulations that prevent corporations from donating money to political parties.
The Debate

1. "This is supposed to be a democratic country," Gambling industry spokesperson Freddy Johnson says. "Yet these archaic laws say I can't donate money to support a political party. They put ceilings on the amount any party can spend on advertising. It's time to stop treating voters like children, and trust them to make up their own minds. Free the ballot box!"
2. "You say political freedom, I hear vote-buying," says popular anarchist Faith Jefferson. "If these fat cats get their way, politicians will buy their own seat in Congress. And let's face it, a slick advertising campaign can convince a lot of apathetic voters. We need to tighten the laws, not repeal them. Money should have no place in politics!"
   
   This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
3. "Frankly, I don't see why we need to have elections at all," says your brother, Elizabeth Summers, over a late-night malt whiskey. "You always seem to know what's best. Why not scrap the whole political system? It would make things so much simpler."

 

[Branka]

Ich finde den Namen deines "Bruders" viel bemerkenswerter:
Elizabeth

LOL

Habe aber die gleiche Option damals gewählt

 

[Harutsune]

Ich hab hier jetzt so ein Heavy-Metal-Issue:

Turn Down That Racket, Say Morality Police

The Issue

A group of concerned parishioners and soccer moms has petitioned the government of Gullikyn to outlaw heavy metal music, which they fear is a bad influence on youngsters.
The Debate

1. "Heavy metal music is a plague in our good nation and its God-fearing people!" argues local priest and easy listening advocate Jack Hendrikson. "Just the other day, I heard a song by some group called Hell's Irate Puppies with a sinful quantity of bass and drum... oh, and there were probably some lines about killing parents, too, I'd imagine! It's vital that we ban this music, and remove this terrible influence from our children's lives! Think of the children!
3. "Whoa, man... what's with the, like, censorship and stuff?" asks Jack Washington, scruffy-haired bassist of the popular speed metal band The Destroyinators. "You can't, like, censor the music, man. That's how we express ourselves! Every bass beat is me baring my soul! Every howl is me complainin' about how my parents tried to kick me out of their basement! Besides, what's wrong with Satan? He's just misunderstood anyway. I say promote the arts, man!"
   
   This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
4. "You know, this heavy metal issue has me thinking," says Roger Love, your brother, over your weekly game of cribbage. "If these long-haired freaks want to put out their devil-worshipping metal, why don't we let them? Of course, we'll put a little subliminal propoganda into every song... after all, don't these guys owe their freedom of expression to you?"

Was sollte ich denn entscheiden, damit ich *nicht* die Fahrstuhlmusiken ändere..?

 

[Lisra]

Mitte behält die Fahrstuhlmusik bei.

 

[Veldryn]

Ändern heißt in Metal ändern? Die mittlere Option ist die, die Metal lautstark im Fahrstuhl spielen lässt, ganz konkret formuliert (Lisra ist da etwas uneindeutig).

 

[Harutsune]

Uneindeutig? Irreführend!!
Na warte..

 

[Gala]

Ich hab einen neuen Kandidaten für "dümmstes Issue ever".

The Issue

Fears about the aging population in Orthaethaczil have been raised after it was discovered that nearly a fifth of the population is over 65 years of age and becoming a serious drain on pension funds everywhere.
The Debate

1. "We're going to run out of working age citizens if we don't act fast!" warns Faith Summers, a government statistician. "Birth rates are down, death rates are down, and the amount of budget spent on pensions has doubled in the last twenty years! We need to put an end to this, quickly and without delay: we must kill off all the people too old to work anymore... well except for government officials like you and me of course..."


2. "I can't believe I'm hearing this!" yells Billy-Bob Dredd, a wizened octogenerian. "We have our rights! You can't do that to us! What utter rubbish about our pensions! I can hardly survive on the paltry number of credits I get each week! If anything, we should get more money! If you're so worried about low death rates, then just cut the healthcare budget to make up for the loss!"


3. "Woah, woah! Talk about hasty decisions here, man," says Kool Kal, one of your more hip advisors. "Just increase the working age to say... ninety-five years old? Then the number of people eligible for a pension is like, dramatically reduced, man. Why? It's 'cos most of them'll be like, six feet under, dude!" He high-fives you. "Funny, ain't it, man?"

The Government Position

The government is preparing to dismiss this issue.

Also ich hab die Wahl zwischen
1. Massenmord.
2. Schlechtere Volksgesundheit.
3. Arbeiten bis zum Tode - was wahrscheinlich gleichbedeutend ist mit Massenarbeitslosigkeit im Alter.

Wo ist hier das "headbang" smiley ? Wir brauchen ein headbang smiley ...

 

[Gala]

Btw, wo ist unser Founder abgeblieben ?

Unser Founder hat uns verlassen ...

 

[Gala]

Tja ... nur noch 3 wackere Streiter übriggeblieben.

Ich schätze mal, ich sollte langsam umziehen.

 

[Gala]

140% der Tode in meinem Land sind wegen hohem Alter.
