So I made a passing joke in another thread about “glory to Arstotska” but unless you know what that means, it’ll completely pass you by, you’ll either get it and nod completely sagely, or go “huh?”
So let me share this game. I strongly encourage people to play it.

The setup is that you are proud citizen of Arstotska, glory to Arstotska, and you work on border control, reviewing the travel documents people present to you and you either let them in, or you don’t.
But it presents a veeeeeery interesting moral journey to you as you do this important but thankless task. I don’t want to say more, because I wouldn’t want to spoil it just yet, but it certainly puts a lot of thought into the decisions that some of the keyboard warriors assert are obvious and easy, but that wheh actually confronted with even a few moral choices, might not be so obvious or easy.

Congratulations. The October labor lottery is complete. Your name was pulled. For immediate placement, report to the Ministry of Admission at Grestin Border Checkpoint. An apartment will be provided for you and your family in East Grestin. Expect a Class-8 dwelling.
