OK, so what should I do with the poor little freepers?

[strategery blunder]

OK, so I play a internet game where I basically run a country. Today's hot political issue is what to do with the freepers (which just happen to be the national animal in the nation of Evil Woody Thoughts).

Evil Woody Thoughts Decides:
When Freepers Attack!
The Issue

After several reports of pet freepers violently attacking, injuring, and even killing citizens, there has been growing pressure from public safety activists for the government to take action.
The Debate

1. "These creatures are a danger to the public and must be destroyed!" says Jennifer Longbottom, representative of the Public Institution for Social Safety, Equality, and Direction. "I was attacked by one just on the way here and I nearly lost my life! They're a public menace. We must shoot and burn them!"
Accept

2. "Why punish the poor things?" asks animal-lover Fleur Mombota, covered in scars from previous encounters with freepers. "All they need is good hands to care and rehabilitate them. We need a government education programme to tame them and turn them into loveable pets. The one I'm holding right now shows that it can be done. They are all good, kind creatures deep d- argh!"
Accept

3. "I agree that we shouldn't kill them," says Jazz Steele, a famous lawyer. "But I don't think the owner should get away with breaking the law! This is clearly a case of 'intent to greviously harm' if I ever saw it. All citizens should be held accountable of their pet's actions as if they had done the act themselves. It's the only way to be fair - after all, they're just dumb animals."
Accept

4. "Who cares!?" screams Jazz King as he sends out his pirate radio station broadcast. "Just repeal any laws preventing us from shooting the things when they attack and we'll be able to save ourselves without this stupid, authoritarian, overbearing government and legal system wasting our tax money!"
Accept

The Government Position

The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.

If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue.

So what should I do with the wee little freepers?:shrug:

1. Shameless kick

:kick:

2. Option 5: Give them enlistment papers.

That ought to fix the little buggers.

[strategery blunder]

3. Does that fall under the "rehabilitation" option?

:silly:

4. That game was fun for a few weeks.

Then you just get the same issues over and over.

5. That's what the role-playing forums are for.

;)

I've been at it for thirteen months. Right now, I'm roleplaying a civil war (only the second war I've ever rped) within my nation. Fun times.:)
