Alright, my first suggestion. I really like the tree idea that Reploid (I think it was Rep) presented—ideas that are dependant on other issues. Well, I tried to play with that on this issue suggestion, which is similar/based on an existing one. This is why the talk is so corporate based—I think this is a key time where nations choose a corporate government, often without realizing it perhaps:


Validity: For Nations who have chosen development over wild-life preservation, and now suffer from a decline in their National Animal.

Due to Acid Rain, deforestation, and both rural and industrial pollution, @@NAME@@ has suffered a dramatic decrease to the overall @@ANIMAL@@ population. Your top governmental officials have offered opinions from some of the larger special interest groups in the nation.

[option] Bob Boberts, founder of Bob Co Incorporated Unlimited Distributors, has come up with an idea. “With a minimal amount of governmental financing, my boys and I can switch from manufacturing cheesecakes to rendering the dead @@ANIMAL@@s to a useable energy source. It isn’t pretty, when your find yourself with a sack full of lemons. But as the old saying says you have to make meringue. Oh, did I say a minimum amount of governmental financing?”
[option] EarthRain FireSky, who has long been a lawyer for SpringTree Unlimited, a subsidy of the Environmental Cause Incorporated Unlimited has the following suggestion. “The only way we can cut the red tape the big companies have created is to represent the wildlife in a court of law. Since the government is responsible for allowing the corporations to ruin the land, they should fund the lawsuit to claim the land back for the poor @@ANIMAL@@.
[option] Your conscience offers the following advice, “You messed up. Why not simply reclaim the @@ANIMAL@@ Reserve? Who cares if this strike against the economy ends up costing you re-election? The most important thing is that you remain an ethical… are you still listening to me?”
[option] Shoel HellBent offers the following council: “What’s wrong with the death of the @@ANIMAL@@? If you want, I will kill the remaining @@ANIMAL@@ off, just to prove a point.”



I know it is an odd submission. I appreciate your opinion and critique.

Hmm. . .

Interesting.

Use @@randomename@@.

Hmm. . .

Interesting.

Use @@randomename@@.

You mean @@RANDOMNAME@@ .

Also: @@NAME@@ = nation name
@@ANIMAL@@ = national animal

Alright, please let me know if I edited it correctly. Also, any side you feel is not offered as an option that isn't?

Thx

You don't need the [ ] s around the @@ marcos, and the A) B) C) D) stuff should be replaced with

[option]Bob Boberts, founder of Bob Co Incorporated Unlimited Distributors....

etc.

Nice issue though. :)

Thanks. I made the editing corrections. DO I have to use @@RANDOMNAME@@, I would kind of like to suggest the names I chose, and have that part edited out if they didn't like it.

Also, do I have to pick a title for it?

Thanks for the help.

[issue] Recent breakthroughs in the area of AI have led to stunning possibilities. But many fear a "Matrix" or "Terminator" scenario.

Validity: Any Nation with 25 million or more in population

[option] "This idea is great, sure, but it would put me out of the job! I have a big enough beer gut as is without sitting around all day," claims Construction worker @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Go ahead and give all my work to fancy machines, see if I care."

[option] "Construction is just a stepping stone, we can build full on armies with this stuff!," states General @@RANDOMNAME@@, "And think of the weapons, Sir. I mean, who better to strap to a nuke and send into the enemy ranks than a mechanized drone?"

[option] "If you listen to nuts like General @@RANDOMNAME@@ we'll be living in a grey world, dude!" says Famous Singer, and known Tree Hugger @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Let's like, use them to tend to nature, and help the @@ANIMAL@@s flourish, man. Build the greenery with the machinery!"

[option] "This is an outrage! and a COMPLETE abomination to God! Machines cannot be intelligent, and will only bring about the Apocalypse if we allow them to think!," shouts Cardinal @@RANDOMNAME@@ of the Roman Catholic Church in @@NAME@@, " Abolish this nonsense research, and spend the funds on helping impoverished families instead."

I would prefer you put this in a new thread, because I really want critical opinions of this before I submit the idea, though I don't want to come across wrong at all.

Is it possible for you to delete this, Sol, and make a new thread for your issue suggestion?

I imagine the mods would have trhe ability to do so. If it can't be done on this thread, fine with that. I chose a vague title, get what I deserve. I think this is something to consider tho for a mod proptocl on this forum.

Still ask:

Thanks. I made the editing corrections. DO I have to use @@RANDOMNAME@@, I would kind of like to suggest the names I chose, and have that part edited out if they didn't like it.

Thanks for the help.

In answer to your question regarding titles, Ackbar101. Yes, we'd appreciate it if you had a shot at a title. At least, I would appreciate it.

I will. I quickly relaized the problems with vague direction rather then exact description.
