Sry if it in the wrong place...

TITLE: Lord of the Rings: healthy or deathifying?

A recent LAN Party for the Lord of the Rings: Middle Earth computer game turned into a riot as one party triumphed over the other. Now the government is arguing whether to ban it completly, just the game, or not at all.

[OPTION1] "We must ban it!" shouts Health Director @@RANDOMNAME1@@. "It sucks thier money, thier health, their lives! They learn only that! If we do not ban this, more people will be hurt, and more will suffer!"

[OPTION2]"Whoa, hold your horses," says Game President @@RANDOMNAME2@@. "I agree, but not completly. The game sucks their lives, not the movies or the books. Take out the games, we all go back to being healthy."

[OPTION3]"WHAT!?!" screams local fan @@RANDOMNAME3@@. "Crazy! This is like taking my life! And not just mine! My friends and others, too! Don't take out the Lord of the Rings or there will be more riots!"

[AFTERMATHOF1]People almost always try to download games or sneak books or movies into the country. Daily busts.

[AFTERMATHOF2]People try daily to make Lord of the Rings games or find them somewhere and play them. Busts, but less.

[AFTERMATHOF3]Daily LAN games turn to daily riots between races and lands.

Put it in proper issue format so we can actually read it. ;)

To find that look in the stickies this forum.

It's fine if we were looking for advertising for the game you're interested in at the moment. Since we're not, probably not all that great an issue.

It could be better, but why should it be LOTR? Make it a more generic LAN game that most people know-Quake, CounterStrike, etc

Anyway, the responses and description need to be mucho longero. It's not a v. good issue, I'd dismiss it. :)

Yeah, it's my first issue, anyways. Thanks! I'll post a new one in a few minutes...

OK, I'm going to redo it...
