For someone with so much interest in seeing how the town is run, I haven't seen you trying anything other than on these boards.
it should be plain to say that the election we have coming will change quite a bit of what is in place here, for better, or for worse.
There does in fact need to be a balance in all things, too free? Anarchy. Too restricted? Tyranny. Too Light? Oppressive. Too Dark? Chaotic.
Light worshipers generally do not cause problems, however in the experience of most in town we have seen what happens when dark goes by unchecked. Evil is not something we wish to cultivate here, but a sad necessity. Hence why we have them register, because otherwise they are generally unwelcome in this town. Considering there is an entire order here devoted to their destruction.
I believe the subject of restricted magics has already been discussed enough, so I will skip that.
Laws, laws have been made public, and have been edited several times, I believe now Raynor is working on them again, to make them fair and clear. there has been every chance to look into the laws, they have been made very public, and people have had forums to discuss them with whoever they seem fit. Even council meetings are held publicly at a clear time, so it seems apathy is your enemy here, not government. Changes have been made already because the first draft of the laws were... less than perfect. loopholes found, errors corrected.
Elections happening at any time should be something discussed at our next one, because it could be an effective measure, or a waste of time.
Town guard is an antiquated service, we are all guards of our town, we are all protectors, we are all watchers. Why burden a small few with it when people are already doing it willingly? We have marshals for civil disputes, we have eachother to defend the town, we have friends to walk us to our homes in the dark nights.
creating positions for the sake of creating positions is... redundant.
We know longer recognize nobility here in our town, we have no kings to bow to, no dukes to reprimand us, we are alone in the world. there is only one class of us, and that is those who live here. Punishments will be made regardless of standing, regardless of who you are, a crime will receive a proper punishment, regardless of who they are. However, i like to believe that we are innocent of crimes until proven otherwise, if this wasn't the case it would be horribly easy to frame whoever we wanted for a crime they did not commit.
I hope this clarifies some of your concerns, and I do hope you take a more active role in how this town is run child. perhaps attend the meeting, run for a position, run for mayor. be the one they look to when no one has answers.
And I do hope with everything happening here, that everyone reading this is considering how much their voice can effect our course. We're going to need it.
