I don't remember what Nebo had, or if he posted the full version.
Advances in the state of the art of television recording devices have brought the topic of sex and violence on late night television back to the table. Interested parties want to share their concerns. The Debate
"I've had just about enough of this!" fulminates concerned parent Ethel Delauter, who seems purple with rage. "Our children's minds are being fed garbage on a daily basis by what they see on TV. Why just the other day I caught my kid watching a DVR recording from a late-night cartoon where a clown beat a hooker to death with a vodka bottle! We need to stop the sex and violence on TV entirely, and limit the networks to decent family programming during daytime hours."
"Why should everyone else pay the price for bad parenting?" bellows libertarian and free speech advocate Fleur Wong. "This government needs to get out of the business of designating what we can and cannot watch. The free market will adapt to the needs of the buyers, leaving parents to do their jobs and monitor what their kids watch. I paid good money for my TV - let ME choose what I want to see!"
"You folks are missin' your best bet," celebrity race car driver Klaus Chen whispers in your ear, while wearing a jumpsuit covered in product logos. "Us racers have lead the way towards makin' product placement the must-have advertising choice. Ain't no need to ban content they cain't stand. All you gotta do is hide the action behind a Microcosm computer or hold an Eckie-Ecola in front of the naughty bits, and nobody gets hurt. Them internet fellas done figured out how to throw ad banners in front of the stuff you want to see; just do the same thing on the teevee sets. Everybody wins!"
"You know, this gave me a fantastic idea," declares one of your advisors, grinning broadly. "So if I got this straight, children will change their behavior according to what they're exposed to on TV. So what we should do is put subliminal messages about our government in every program and commercial on TV during kid's viewing hours. That way children will stop the violence AND they'll be more inclined to serve our government when they grow up. GENIUS!"
I still can't decide. The first option is good because it (in essence) somewhat aligns with the government's ideology. That is, either a child turns on the TV and watches someone shake their butt, or they learn about some positive things. For example, family values or... Patriotism.
The advantage of the second option stems from the disadvantage of the first – it infringes on people's rights, and I also suspect there are hidden pitfalls (for example, it might turn out that the country's entire economy is heavily dependent on these programs, and the country's budget will lose trillions of dollars because of this; given previous cases, this is quite possible – in one of my states, I banned the use of the internet, and scientific and technological progress fell from 50 to 0 :confused:).
The fourth option is also a possibility. If it implies patriotic and other programs that instill a certain mindset in people, that's fine, but it's spoiled by the phrase about "subliminal messages."

Added 4 minutes later I don't quite understand what the third option is about.

I don't understand what the third option is about at all.
Well, look. You go to some website, and if you (suddenly) don't have an ad blocker installed, you're bombarded with ads on every side about "strengthening your country's army, increasing the size of cannons" or "easy-going girls from Qwasaristan." This suggests doing the same, but not just with the internet.

Hmm, that's roughly what I thought at first, but I didn't understand how it relates to the topic.
Well, the fourth option looks quite appealing, but like the first, it could lead to not-so-good consequences.

Okay, fine, let it be the first one. If nothing positive happens (to a sufficient extent) and the red bar drops (assuming that another issue regarding its increase is currently being accepted) – I’ll explode.

In my city, the majority of people earn around $40, and a year and a half ago, when the red line was higher, it was about four times more, but prices have risen accordingly. So, it's debatable :smile04:

The first option is very practical, plus I like how the police officer phrased it. And for comparison, the second one simply discusses the topic of "would you like it if it happened to you?".
It just occurred to me... Theoretically, you could role-play not a specific government position, but rather an impressionable, simple-minded president who makes decisions based on which representative is the most convincing and charismatic.
Before writing here, I had already clicked, and it seems like you can't undo the selection (either dismiss or choose). Well, in any case, by this point, I had settled on the first option.

I spent a long time wondering what kind of cruel state you invented in your Nationstates, until I realized you were talking about real life.

I was racking my brain trying to figure out what kind of monstrous state you came up with in your nationstate, until it dawned on me that you were talking about real life.

You could also choose all the options at random just for laughs, to create a funny and amusing state with a funny and amusing history.

Was that a jab at me? ) Meanwhile, the blue-faced character (I'm too lazy to come up with a name for her now, I'll do it later) is seeking an audience with the government of Kittypink.
I will definitely add it once I finish the work I’m currently doing. Otherwise, I’ve been cutting out all these banners, and I’m starting to get a headache and I’m really tired.

Okay, I’ll cut these out, but I’m completely exhausted, lol.
Oh, guys, why are you torturing yourselves like this? You could have made at least part of the work easier. For example, a long time ago, I used the Snagit program. It can take screenshots with scrolling (that is, it can take a screenshot of a long page, like Siver’s at the beginning, even if it doesn’t fit on one screen). And it also seems to be able to take screenshots by selection. Jinhai
The need for something like this arose when I started thinking about future events and realized that, despite the fact that I am the host, I cannot make any decisions for the participating factions, and Rex Ventorum is on equal footing as a participant, plus some ideas may not be thematically suitable.
My opinion is this: after the game starts, all players lose the rights to their states, and you (as the Host) can do anything you want. “They wouldn’t do that in my country” won’t work anymore. Heroist
Can my team use doping here as well?
In competitive sports, doping is not that effective. I recommend reading this — article is very (!) long, but it was very interesting for me. The original is on Sport-Express, but only a small part is published there.
