  • There was a very nice question posted recently about an [underground society not knowing overground war has ended](https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/292509).
  • Just out of curiosity:
  • The question _could_ be regarded as
  • * "too broad",
  • * "generating ideas", "brainstorming", "fishing for ideas",
  • * "answers are only opinion-based",
  • * "there is no best answer",
  • * yadda yadda etc.
  • Giving actually any and all the reasons to close by some standards (which are or are not defined or agreed upon yet, I actually do not know).
  • I for one totally like the question and I consider it to be a perfect example of "The Art" of Worldbuilding.
  • Now what? Answer, close, something else?

Is this one fishing for ideas?
There was a very nice question posted recently about an [underground society not knowing overground war has ended](https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/292509).

Just out of curiosity: 

The question _could_ be regarded as 
   * "too broad", 
   * "generating ideas", "brainstorming", "fishing for ideas", 
   * "answers are only opinion-based", 
   * "there is no best answer", 
   * yadda yadda etc.

Giving actually any and all the reasons to close by some standards (which are or are not defined or agreed upon yet, I actually do not know).

I for one totally like the question and I consider it to be a perfect example of "The Art" of Worldbuilding.

Now what? Answer, close, something else?
