What an Issue!!
I know this isn't the place but the birthday issue is great. And i just wanted to put it here because it must've been a mod that wrote it so they have a chance of seeing it here :D
I chose the last one tho, seemed the only really good one.... :wink:

Actually, the mods had absolutely nothing to do with it =p That issue is entirely Max's handiwork! (I found a typo in it though! :lol: )

Honestly, Max just seems to be losing his touch these days. Where would he be without us to keep this game moving along? Real powers-behind-the-throne, us mods.
:wink:
Oh. It was Max?
Well that is a pleasant surprise!!

Kandarin Decides:
World to End, or Possibly Just Mark Anniversary
The Issue
Along with the rest of the world, the citizens of Kandarin has been stunned by the revelation of a small team of geophysical philosophers that the world turns exactly one year old today, as measured by what they call "RL units".
The Debate
"Frankly, I saw this coming -- all the signs of the Apocalypse are here," says local community leader Billy Li. "Moral standards are falling, the government is making increasingly erratic decisions, and people are neglecting their work to play bizarre political simulation games on the internet. There's only one sensible reaction: declaring a state of emergency, sending out the military, and shooting curfew breakers until the crisis is over."
[Accept]
"With respect, I don't think falling moral standards are the problem," says cubicle dweller and Slashdot karma god Buy Summers. "The issue is what's going to happen to our computers if the world clock ticks over from 0 to 1. This Y1 problem, as I call it, could be devastating for our IT industry unless it's tackled swiftly. And by tackled swiftly, I mean given a massive injection of public money."
[Accept]
"Why panic when you should be partying?" says Anne-Marie McAlpin, not completely soberly. "It's the first birthday of the world, man -- let people go nuts! If the government has a shred of decency, they'll order the cops to back off and let people really enjoy this incredible moment in history."
[Accept]
"This is neither a time for clamping down, nor, as they say, going off," says religious leader Naki Mombota. "Rather, we should encourage people to reflect on the great mysteries of life. For example, what is God, to each of us? What is the true meaning of faith? And is the world around us reality, or are we instead living inside a simulated reality that exists only the amusement of beings we cannot even imagine?"
[Accept]
"Well, I know what I'll be doing," says obscure author and Perl amateur Max Barry. "Sitting at home with a good book! Jennifer Government, for instance, is a cracking read. And I hear that some of the profits go into maintaining a cool web game. But of course, that's just my opinion. People should celebrate however they want."
[Accept]

No, actually it is a great issue. I noticed that it came to your nation whether you asked for issues each day or not... as a result I ended up answering it a thousand different times, and I chose each option at least once. Waiting eagerly to see the effects, lol

No, it is not. The sixth issue was added so that nobody would miss it. Once you answer an issue, you will drop to the five-issue maximum.
