More Stuff

Well, my country isn't going quite according to plan, but that's ok. It's difficult deciding how to deal with issues when they are so black and white. For example, my country had an issue in which it was said 8 year olds were gambling at casinos. My only options were to allow it or outlaw gambling. Not quite your ordinary choice, but there it was. So no gambling.

I started playing a bit of Unreal Tournament 2004. 5.4GB worth of HDD space is amazing for a game, crazy amazing. I remember Planescape Torment being big and Baldur's Gate, but this is huge! It's also both fun and distressing. Fun to play casually when you just jump around and have fun. Distressing when you are playing through the tournament for `money.' I haven't played too much of that except to draft a team and play one 2-on-2 match. I must say I was amused by the drafting system. It consisted of playing a 2 person deathmatch, then 3, then 4 then 5. Then you take the money you won out of those and draft 5 team members; who you then have to beat in a 6 person deathmatch to show you have what it takes to be their captain :D I guess if they can't beat you they join you kind of thing.

Wow! They've expanded their categories. I got the same four questions over and over. And none of them were about 8 year olds gambling. I had bicycles, rubber trees, and I can't remember the other two.

Is it like sims?

I am not sure how to create an analogy for it.

You basically create a country by answering a few default questions. Then each day you are given an issue and must choose a side or dismiss the issue.

The issues I have seen so far consisted of choosing a spiritual leader (monotheistic, cult like, or none), allowing a nazi rally, permitting smoking marijuana in public, public nudity, etc. Some of the choices are a bit tough. I had one today about choosing to save lives by enforcing donation of organs after death or not. Yes or no, no middle ground. Tough.
