Vote

In the town of New Blort, there was a vote about one week ago on whether to change the town's official nickname.

Known for decades as the Big Apple, an idea arose from the pastoral farming community to rename this to the Big Egg, in order to more align with the town's principal export, which many contend is no longer apples (although this historically has been the case).

The vote was put to the townspeople, and after vigorous, and occasionally misleading, campaigns, the result of 49% Apple, 51% Egg. Therefore the town council announced that the town would officially be re nicknamed "The Big Egg".

This has caused an absolute shitstorm among the people of the town. Brother was turned against sister, fathers against sons, and among the hype, flaming, and disinformation very few people remain unradicalised by either one or the other, with at least half of the populace proudly declaring themselves "Team Egg" and the other "Team Apple".

Since then the town guard have just about managed to keep order. Then came the worms and frogs... and out went the call for aid.
