"So I take it you're a 'glass half-full' kind of guy, Pedro?"

"Two people die a month at the farm? Unacceptable. Twenty-five minutes by car could be 12.5 miles or 29.2 miles. Having an outpost that far, that unprotected just doesn't make sense. You could easily convert any greenspace in a city to farmland. The scenario says four years, so you could have lost up to 96 people.
"

"Only two elected positions that are ultimately powerless? Look, either you say outright that you are going the benevolent dictator route, or you go the democratic route. Don't try and pacify the obviously pissed off populace with these powerless positions. No wonder you have problems."

"I can't accept this scenario, because too may of the posits are things I would not allow to happen.
...
Maintenance team earns 6 tokens a day, which is enough for one bowl of stew. Yet being on the council earns 15 tokens? Bollocks."

"I shall address each of your points in chronological order of posting:

-I am operating under the premise that even after 4 years the roads are unclear, vegetation, broken concrete and abandoned cars still block certain areas of the road greatly slowing down traffic. The farm is not any farther than 9 miles away.

With regards to the numbers dying, I shall expand upon it. Two deaths a month is what it currently is. The farm was not created until year 3 and since then deaths have steadily increased to their current level of 2 a month. (I have added the year of creation to the main article, thanks for pointing this out)

"The history does explain how this was established over time.

This is not a question of democracy or benevolent dictatorships, rather the result of natural progression establishing a confusing and anachronistic situation. Much like the House of Lords in the UK."

""Adonias are allowed to push drugs, and you have gum laws?"

This issue simply hasn't been legislated upon yet. It is up to you to deal with it.

"Dawn, Bayside and Ravens should have been consolidated the moment your city was settled and ready. Even if it meant giving up control, more people would mean better security."

How would you achieve such a thing?

"Fourteen months and you haven't made contact with Dawn? Three months and you haven't contacted Ravens? Why so long?"

Incompetence, infighting, nervous of new city's intentions?

"Quite honestly, at this point the running of the city has been mishandled so badly the best thing the leader could do is resign.

Roll the clock back to the founding of the city, and it might be workable."

Aww, go on Pedro! You could fix it up!"

"For god's sake Pedro why don't you just hurry up and tell us how you would fix the problems instead of machine gunning it???

I noticed some of what you mentioned but it was asking you what you would change because, so I thought, it had had bad leadership to begin with.

Start a new thread or continue using this one and explain how you make things right like I and others had :)"
