NS Olympics Question

I had an idea for an issue a long time ago about bidding for the 'NS Olympics', it would have been called '@@NAME@@ 216'.

I'm not going to write it out again but I will briefly explain the options.

@@NAME@@ 2016?

1. Athlete saying how you should bid for the Olympics and spend lots of money on new stadiums and training facilities.

2. Minister saying 'no' we should spend money on @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@ but allocates a bit of money for young athletes to keep public happy.

3. Host Olympics but sell a lot of it off and have it sponsored by companies, e.g Microcosm Javelin Competition.

So I was wondering whether this idea could be an issue? Will never be an issue? Or needs more work.

Thanks,

It sounds good. It could easily be an issue - there are obvious effects it could have on the economy, tax, etc.
Thinking (as I always do for some reason...) of the extreme options, you could have an option banning sport, maybe except for military purposes (archery, shooting for example)...

Sorry to bump this thread but I was away for new year. I was hoping for a response as to whether an NS Olympics Issue would be acceptable (if good enough) for the game.

My response to that is - make one, submit it, see what happens.

I prefer @@NAME@@ 2016? because I think it sounds better.

Yes, but it sounds like it's asking wether the nation will be there or not in
2016. It sounds like, "Will armeggedon come between now and then?"

How about "@@NAME@@ Olympics 2016?"

That's better.
