Edit: Also for the record I don't support either side in this conflict. Just pointing out that the authority of the rule of law is a pretty shaky right now.

As far as I'm concerned, the EBSA believes that law is the same until it is changed- we only need somebody to enforce it.

There's another thing: The people would condemn the gangs funding, but the fact is that little word has come out of the consequences.
The story must not be about the Evil Blackfist that funds petty gangs.
It needs to be about Li'l Timmy, now called Li'l Crippled Tim, that got his legs broken after being run over by a horse-riding gang member.
Those are the evil villains: The Evil, Child-crippling, house-robbing, people-murderin' gangs.
Gangs that have been able to gain control over their neighbourhoods thanks to who?
House Laurier, at least, doesn't recognize the authority of the Council. Arcane has already described why, really. A handful of the many city factions held a meeting, elected themselves (mostly) as members of a council, and they haven't even openly announced their doing so as far as I know. Alexandre Laurier would say, "Council? What council? And who gave them this authority that they have claimed?"
Ragnar, you forgot puppy kicking. Puppy kicking is the most wicked of crimes in the TW community.
Well, a part of the problem is that the Council has done NOTHIGN yet.
Speaking as a member, that is a serious flaw.
I'll wait until someone posts, to avoid double posting, and open a conference to generate the Concil's actions for the turn.
I have some ideas.

Hehehe, that's precisely the idea.
One time, I was reading about some Real Life things. Let's just say they were pretty ugly things.
From that heap of uglyness, puppy kicking was the one that, no matter how awful and inhuman were the crimes listed between it, always stood out.
You can always try to justify the deaths of your enemies as "necessary", it was "for the good of the country", since they were "external and dangerous elements".
But puppykicking just can't be justified. And it usually is horrible enough to make people realize what's going on, and best: to make them remember.
Well, I should say.. puppy kicking is also one of the highest forms of entertainment in the TW community. Some of us got really excited when someone proposed playing as a faction of pugs. It just depends on the game, I guess, whether factions would react in a positive or negative way to a gang who sponsors puppy kicking. After all, wicked crimes and wicked fun often go hand-in-hand.

I remember that. We started planning the puppy-kicking Olympics, with points awarded based on distance and yelping. Good times.
"They can take our furs!! They can kick our behinds and give us no food! They can leave us outside in the snow and the cold!! But they can't TAKE OUR CUTTINESS AND FLUFFINESS!!!!!"

Yes. Because the Blackfists have gained control over all those places by popular mandate and not by, for example, slaughtering the prison guards, who were just doing their jobs.
P.S. And can't say I've done no wrong, when speaking ill of others.
Actually, we had a popular mandate. The people of the districts surrounding both the Prison and the Arena helped us storm it, because they wanted it, and the watch, gone. They also made their opinion known before the attack, we just helped them realize it.
Edit: The Blackfist League uses balls made of the finest puppy skin for it's football games.
“Not a promise, not an oath, or a malediction or a curse,” I said, sounding calm, probably inaudible in the midst of the screaming. “Inevitable. Wasn’t that how she put it? I told them. Warned them.”

I think the football league should be changed to use puppies instead of balls made of puppies. Also, you cannot use your hands, only legs to maximize the kicking.

I haven't seen the Librarian post in a while, are they an NPC now?

Did you ask everyone their opinion, or did you simply ask if anyone was willing to support you?
The first implies that the majority wanted them gone. The second implies some people wanted them gone.
I don't really know anything about the Watch, so I can't really comment on the morals of removing them.

The Technists guild polled (And funded) little veras extensivly. We DID use MIL, but to guard the streets, and we didn't take anything from them. Rather the reverse.
Also, the Technists guild is planing to expand their school, to replace the seemingly defunct university. Free tution for basic subjects, select courses do have meterial fees (Subject to Scholorship grants and prizes). We welcome all potential members. Just don't blow it up. Or start fights. We'll be building a debating hall if you feel strongly about it.

The Ram Revolution didn't even send people into the Imperial Third - they joined voluntarily. which makes me think that at the very least, 90% or so wanted to follow us.

I imagine a great prank war/rivalry: technists students vs. medical students. Which we'll solve by football.#
Edit: I'm wating for ''Join me and you'll get the cure'' development.

Well, it means the gangs wanted to join you, at least.
Hey, those "gangs" are now regiments of the Republican Army, and the people rule themselves and they haven't rebelled. That tells me the people like what they got.

So, it's doping vs. blasphemous body augmentation. We'll see, who wins.

Or they could be too terrified of evil gangs to even complain. Nobody was rebelling in the Maine Gangs territory as well.

I find it hilarious, that while all across the city people are fighting for some criminal-ridden and monster-infested territories, I've worked to secure myself with enough hookers and blow to last me a lifetime. Oh, and spicy munchies.
