Strike spreads to Western Kentucky

[Joe Republic]

Al, do you really need to keep inventing issues?  I had hoped for much more from you.  You have yet to produce a sigle bill... but you can waste time on this?

I think its pretty cool.  It makes things more interesting.  Its all about role-play, anyway.

"What effect will this crisis have on the new Mideast region governor?  What if the federal govt. gets involved?  Will there be riots?"

I thought fantasy politics was supposed to be fun and interesting anyway.

Why don't you try to achieve someting for the Atlasian working man through the Senate and not through the streets? Why do this when you have enough power in the Senate to propose legislation in the Senate that would help, better, the workers that you represent.

I think he's just trying to make things interesting by creating some news that doesn't involve the day-to-day goings on of the senate.  I for one applaud that.  If it wasn't for fantasy news like this miners' strike, things would get pretty dull pretty quickly.

Not only that, but it'll give Governor-elect Peter Bell something to do in his first days in office.

Joe the problem is we have a person who is delegated to come up with scenarios. He's called the GM and Al is not the GM. Plus he has done this before. He always paints the companies as crazy, murdering, and evil while he makes the miners look wonderful. If he wants to help those in the mines why doesn't he propose some legislation.

OK, I see.  But still, I haven't really seen very much in the way of scenarios.
