[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 1612289, member: 19990"] I didn't want to lose the idea of this message while we were off getting the city size and atmosphere straightened out. I suppose we ought to defer to Creamsteak, since he seems to have done most of the construction on this city concept so far, but if he hasn't worked this out, I'd like to endorse this idea. I like the idea of a representative council, not in the sense that each block or each district gets a vote, but in the sense that each guild or established power group gets a vote. As for who's in charge in a crisis, there are many ways that could be handled. As has been mentioned, there could be a rotating president of the council position. Alternatively, the council could elect a "disaster coordinator/minister of war" to preside over such times of crisis, with the proviso that only the council could declare a crisis and that a supermajority of the council could remove the "disaster coordinator" at any time. The "disaster coordinator" need not be a regular member of the council, indeed, there may be a city law forbidding the "disaster coordinator" from holding a seat on the council. As I mentioned earlier, there might be some special status awarded to members of the judiciary. Maybe the council elects the judges and the judges elect the "disaster coordinator"...who knows? I just wanted to point out that there are many possibilities, and the intricacies of city government need not be well understood by most outsiders. [/QUOTE]
