Pretty much a silly issue, but feel free to contribute a name on anything in [brackets], as well as general feedback. Stat changes hidden because I hate it when issue ideas turn into arguments over how the stats should change, plus the mods said they mess with those the most anyway.

Name: [Strange Hair Issue]

Description: A recent surge in odd and suggestive hairstyles involving the letter T has led some of the more conservative politicians in @@NAME@@ to question just what kind of hairstyles people should be aloud to wear.

Validity: Not for low civil rights/personal freedoms?

Options:
[option]"For crying out loud, it's just hair," says a local man on the street with a small mohawk shaped like a T growing out the top of his head. "If I want to express my love for the letter T in this way, then it should be perfectly acceptable."
[effect]strange new hairstyles are showing up all over @@NAME@@
[stats]hidden

[option]"It may be 'just hair'," pipes in the leader for the [People Against Outrageous Hair] @@RANDOMNAME@@, "but it's starting to get in the way of our day to day lives. Why just yesterday while I was at a movie with my wife, a man with a rather large T on his head sat down infront of us and we couldn't see the screen. Something needs to be done about this!"
[effect]the government has enacted restrictions on the length of its citizens hair
[stats]Not telling

[option]"There is a fast and simple way to solve this, soldier," says military general and drill sergent, @@RANDOMNAME@@. "If everyone was required to join the army, then they would all have [that army hair ... little help here? buzz cuts?]. Plus these hippies would spend less time at their little love-fests and more time contributing to our great society."
[effect]the government has made millitary service compulsory
[stats]Wouldn't you like to know?

Actually it's pretty easy to guess (or this is what they had better be :twisted: )

civil rights go up, economy goes up

civil rights go down, economy goes down, political freedoms go up

civil rights hit the floor, military spending skyrockets, military service is compulsatory

Thats the gist of it, except without the political freedoms thing. Hair isnt really...political.

Note to self: Even hiding the stats doesn't solve the problem entirely...

Aren't n00bs radioactive (from all of the nukes that older players shot at them)? :P

Ahh yes, but I figured that it would be sort of like the death penalty issue.

No, in a good issue, most of the effects are obvious.

But then there will be complaints of a liberal bias ... or something.

Try to make the acronym something that spells "HAIR" or "HAIRY" like Hair Abridgement International Reactionary Yokels.
