Summary0016648: Burlust War Motivations
DescriptionReading the patch notes:

A new concept of international incidents has been added to the game. These are basically some sort of disagreements on the international stage that rise to the level of warfare. It could be that the Fenyn hate the pollution that the Acutians are putting out. It could be that the Burlusts are just having a Tuesday.

Actually, can you do a query to the system clock so that the Burlusts actually report the day of the week as the reason they are going to war?

That's hilarious, and something that definitely can be done. Also, if you or anyone else wants to suggest reasons for international kerfuffles, then please do!

I also like the idea of "it's a prime-number turn" or something as an incitement to violence for the Burlusts. Maybe "you smell delicious" for the Thoraxians?

Those are hilarious and I love them. The smelling delicious could be related to how many cheap diners you have or something along those lines.

Thanks!

* Added a humorous new brawler-style Burlust international incident that will come around where the Burlusts attack because "It Is {WhateverTodayOfTheWeekIs}."
** Chris made a joke when talking about incidents that they would be caused by a variety of things, like "it's Tuesday" for Burlusts. ptarth had the great thought to actually make an incident of this sort that queries the system clock to insert in the actual day of the week just for a bit of humor value. Functionally this fits really well with the Burlusts, and it definitely does help illustrate their brawler nature, too!
