Potential Chancellors....
Posted: Thu Oct 17, 2013 1:05 pm
*A neatly penned note is hung from the town board*
With the elections looming large and a few great candidates already having stepped forward, I thought I might take the liberty of posting a few questions. I could of course track each candidate down individually, however this would only serve to enlighten myself. Despite the trouble of having to pen a reply, in this way information is being made freely available to any who care to read it.
As a citizen of Galmair my concerns are simple and I am sure shared by all, safety and prosperity. As such I would interested in hearing from any potential chancellors thoughts on the following?
The Iron Watch, this is not a complaint but an observation if anything. The role of the towns guard feels ill defined are they enforcers or peace keepers, what powers do they have or should they be empowered with? How will it be funded or are we simply going to rely on people spilling blood for charity? If so are they not simply a militia? As the towns first line of defense and constant resort to solve day to day strife, it is clearly a vital part of the town. However the current system seems to work on a basis of if you have a weapon and show up, sign up. This could end in our commanders standing alone if ever an unpleasant task needed doing, volunteers are useful but not always unyieldingly loyal.
Next question, what if any projects do you envisage to bring prosperity to the town or put coin in pockets? The economic situation is Galmair is commendable I see no signs of hunger and minimal poverty. At the same time a healthy economy cycles coin around all levels, if the miner does not have gold, the bakers family goes thread bare, I doubt anyone needs a lecture on economics. To thrive we need to keep striving to not only improve our city but become that bastion of wealth and prosperity we model ourselves on.
I shall look forward to any responses and endeavor to seek any who do reply out in person for further discussion, my goal is to not to create a debate in ink but a small podium for our would be officials to share their inspirations. As such any aspiring chancellor should feel free to touch on points beyond my questions.
Sincerely
