10.2 RULING COUNCIL
The ruling council of a city-state is generally composed of seven members. Some
are appointed by influential houses (4 in all cities except Eleusis, which has
3 appointed seats), and the rest are elected by the populace via the methods
described in HELP ELECTIONS. HELP <city> will show you who the members of the
ruling council are.
While the perceived responsibilities of a ruling council may vary in the eyes
of each citizen, it can safely be said that the ruling council must take
credit, or blame, for what happens to their city. While the power to actually
affect most city-related things lies in the hands of the Ministers and their
aides, it is the ruling council who chooses the leader and appoints Ministers.
If Ministers or the leader are doing a poor job, that would be the concern of
the ruling council.
As a member of a ruling council, you may use the following commands:
CITY CLAN LIST
- View the clans that are owned by your city.
CITY ENEMY/UNENEMY <person> <reason>
- Brand someone an official enemy of your city.
CITY ALLY/UNALLY <person>

CITYFAVOUR <person>

CITY MUTE/UNMUTE
- The syntax is: CITY MUTE <infidel> <TEMP|INDEFINITE> <reason>. TEMP will
mute for an hour then wear off. INDEFINITE will mute until someone does
CITY UNMUTE on the muted person. The reason will be recorded in the city
logs. This is on a trial basis only. Cities abusing this power to mute
left and right will find they no longer have access to it.

the Council Room for this. Will not work on the Stewardship.
