Hi,

I have noticed, more than once that I choose an opinion to an issue and the exact opposite thing happens. I thought it was me at first, but it's definitely happening. I know that decisions may (usually do) have an extreme effect, but going completely the opposite way just doesn't seem right.

The last one I noticed (was last night) was about the nazi party was holding a protest. (a) should it and the part be banned or (b) should freedom of speach be allowed regardless of how idiotic the message is.

I clicked on (b) and now it's saying extreme political parties are banned :(

Either you clicked the wrong option, or it's what happens

There could also be a bug...

There is a bug that sometimes chooses the opposite option that you actually clicked. IT apparently only happens when there are several NSers on teh same computer

I sure I didn't press the wrong option. It has happened several times now. The first few I thought I must have hit the wrong option.

It seems strange that I would go for the freedom of speach option, then have political parties banned and my political freedoms status go down to below average. I can understand some unpredicable results, but for the result to be the polar opposite seems too strange to me. Especially as the other option was "Ban extreme parties".

Im the only one that uses this PC and I only have one NS account.

Heiligkeits, I'm going to ask you once again not to speculate with such certainty. I don't know where you got your information on this, but I've seen nothing to suggest that your conclusion was accurate.

Let's leave questions that can only be accurately answered by admins to the admins, ok?

It seems strange that I would go for the freedom of speach option, then have political parties banned and my political freedoms status go down to below average.

That happened to me too around the time when I first started. And I never got straight answer to explain as to why it happened. Now, though I've got my political freedoms where I want so I mostly dismiss any issues regarding political freedoms.

Actually as one who has been looking at stuff Issue wise for a long time,
Just because your "Speaker" says choosing his option is gonna do A, it may also do B, L, and P.
a lot of folks who write the issues you click myself included think realworld and our results are a little sneaky.
so just because you want to believe the "Speaker" he may be as shifty as a barrel of fresh earthworms.
Consider all Options carefully if you still actually fuss over issues (I quit fussing over them a while back lol).

This has been forwarded to everybody's favorite big-nosed Admin.
