Talk:Rapture Central Council

-

Strong evidence of a strawman in this game  - that it was blatantly designed to fail and provide the ruined state for a shoot-em-up game. (I guess they dont bother to teach civics in schools these days)   No Laws  to run a City ? How is that remotely possible?. Commerce on a city or town scale really doesnt/cant/wont operate in a state of Anarchy. Central Council is the 'government' ?? Who arbitrates disagreements between citizens,  who sit in judgement over a criminal court ?? That tiny council would be swamped with the tiniest bit of what the City of 20000 would need on a day to day basis. All these things 'just happen' with a wave of the hand??

Ryan became a 'tyrant' ?? You might look into the things FDR did prior and during  WW2  (Ryan had to fight a 'civil war'/Rebellion to protect the City from the murderous criminals who were trying to destroy all order)

The 'council' apparently didnt do much and certainly didnt offer many useful ideas in the crisis,  So it was upto Ryan to handle things. The old Roman term is 'Dictator'  --an appointed single leader with expanded powers and limited duration appointed during and emergency.
