There go two issues that could have been put to better use..

Painful prices paid at the pump

"Who cares about a few trees, gas prices are six drakes per gallon, and rising! There is lots of oil to be found in areas currently protected as parks! Solving our energy needs are more important than conserving the environment," says oil executive Klaus Fellow. "Just give us permission to go in there and start drilling, and gas prices will plummet!"
[Accept]


"There are other ways to recover from the fossil fuel crisis besides ruining forests," says environmental activist Thomas Wong. "We shouldn't just take the short way out and drill here. I suggest spending more money on public transportation systems and encouraging people to carpool- if people weren't so reliant on fossil fuel powered cars, we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place, and if we start using less oil, the price will drop with the demand."
[Accept]

How about... Neither? How about I invest money in fusion or hydrogen research? Setup solar and wind power plants as well as dams and tidal power stations? Nope, I guess not.

Water Supply Problems Becoming a Major Drain

"We need this water to raise our crops," says incensed farmer Bianca Shiomi. "If it wasn't for us farmers, the rest of Magas Volaer would be starving. How about laying the blame where it belongs, and look to those cookie cutter suburban houses with their green lawns and pristinely washed mini-vans!"
[Accept]


"It is my right to have the most beautiful lawn in the neighborhood," says neighborhood spokesman Miranda McGuffin. "our community spends alot of effort cultivated a nice environment for our kids to grow up in. Why, if they didn't have these nice lawns to play in, they would be hanging out on street corners peddling drugs, or worse! Wont someone please think of the children?"
[Accept]


"Here is a novel idea," proclaims Peggy Spirit, spokesperson for radical environmental group Leave Nature Alone. "How about getting rid of all these dams and irrigation projects that are getting in the way of Mother Nature's plans for the water. It is time to allow the rivers to take their natural courses and leave the environment alone. I'm sure things will work out fine if we let Nature take its course."
[Accept]


"Obviously, who gets how much water is only a part of the problem." Notes famed population-control advocate Abraham Nagasawa. "We must try to curtail the rapid growth of our population, whether by limiting the amount of children people may have, or by deporting immigrants and criminals... we must get a handle on our population before we can hope to correct this water supply problem."
[Accept]

Four choices and all of them... suck? How about I enforce water regulation laws, setup water recycling plants and intiate research into creating water?

It's a shame that I'll have to dismiss these.

This belongs in the Got Issues forum, also once issues are put through they cannot be changed

This belongs in the Got Issues forum....

Correct. iMove :arrow: "Got Issues?"

also once issues are put through they cannot be changed

I'm not an issues expert, but I don't think that this is correct. Issues now in the database can be removed at least by [violet]. If corrections need to be made, then corrections can be made.

That [hydro] dam issue that we had about 2-3 weeks ago comes to mind; a technical error in how the macros were written into that issue caused all sorts of error messages to appear for anyone who got that issue.

that ]We wouldn't want to actually rewrite the issues, because then new players wouldn't get to experience the old ones.

But we do have the capability to have issues that never come up more than once, or that, if you choose a particular option, make your nation eligible for another issue. So we can use that to achieve the outcome you want, I think.

Also, now we have a good flow of new issues coming in, the whole repetitiveness thing isn't as much of a problem as it used to be.


So they won't be changed much just big mistakes changed

but these two are part of the NEW (player made) set of issues

They haven't got enough time in the day to wade through the backlog of submitted issues, so what makes you think they'll have time to revisit issues that have already been approved?
