Different issue advisor names, before and after accepting a stance.

First post, so treat me gently.

Before choosing a stance on the uranium issue, I saw the following:

"This is terrific find!" claims Nukes4U CEO Jazz McAlpin. "It will provide an enormous stimulus to our economy and create thousands of new jobs. It's win-win! All we need from the government is permission to bulldoze the rainforest that's on top of the deposit."


and afterwards, it seems the CEO of Nukes4U has changed.


"This is terrific find!" claims Nukes4U CEO Clint Longfellow. "It will provide an enormous stimulus to our economy and create thousands of new jobs. It's win-win! All we need from the government is permission to bulldoze the rainforest that's on top of the deposit."

The name of the Green politician also changed.

Also, "This is a terrific find!" needs correcting.

Thanks for listening.

This really belongs in 'Got Issues', but I'll answer it here.

The function you're referring to is a macro called @@RANDOMNAME@@, which generates a random name out of 57 possible first names and 47 possible last names. When you get the issue again, the CEO of Nukes4U will have a different name.

Also, please report the typo in the appropriate thread in the Got Issues (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=1&f=1232) forum.

The names are picked at random every time you view or refresh the page, so after accepting it will change.
The other thing is a typo, I guess, that's Sal's department :p

And welcome to the forums, just look around a bit more here, lots to see ;)

Thought it was a bug, and belonged here.

Cheers. :)
