[Option] Before you manage to even leave your office, an email appears in your inbox. You click on it, and find it is from an unknown by the name of @@RANDOMNAME@@, "Nationstates, really - is sometimes our only way of life. Having no friends myself in the real world, I guess the game gives just the few of us who play the game something to make of ourselves - even if it is in the form of roleplay."
[Effect] Thousands of computer users log into Nationstates.net on a regular basis
[Stats] Civil Freedoms Increase
[Option] "Nationstates is a threat to society!" claims Defense Minister @@RANDOMNAME@@. "You only have to read about the twisted opinions, random wars, et cetera, et cetera to know that it corrupts the minds of every citizen of @@Name@@. I say we ban Nationstates at once and err... check the backgrounds of anyone researching anything anti-government!"
[Effect] Nationstates.net has recently been banned, and the government regards all computer users as suspicious
[Stats] Civil Freedoms Decrease, Political Freedoms Decrease, Defense Spending Increases
[Option] Later on, you return to your office to find that Health Expert @@RANDOMNAME@@ has left a message on your answering machine, "Have you read that article? The census shows that each user spends an average of three to four hours playing Nationstates alone. Combine that with all the rest of the time the average citizen spends on a computer, that amount is unfathomable! My recommendation is that we research into the dangers of too much time on the computer, and begin an advertising campaign to educate the good people of the facts."
[Effect] The government has recently begun a health campaign highlighting the dangers of high computer usage
[Stats] Civil Freedoms Increase, Health Spending Increases
I just submitted that one now, opinions anyone?
