10.5 RULING COUNCIL
The ruling council of a city or commune is composed of the Guildmasters
associated with its nexus of power and the leader who is elected by the
general population. See HELP ELECTIONS. HELP <city> will show you who the
members of a 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 and blame for what happens to their city or commune. 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, who confirms the Ministerial choices. If the Ministers or the
leader is doing a poor job, it is up to the ruling council to fix the
situation.
As a member of a ruling council, you may use the following commands:
CITIZEN <person> : Make someone a citizen of your city.
UNCITIZEN <person> : Kick someone out of your city.
WELCOME <person> : Make someone a member of your commune.
OSTRACIZE <person> : Kick someone out of your commune.
BRAND <person> ENEMY <reason> : Brand someone an official enemy of your city.
Due to the time it takes to propagate the
order to the guards, this will not take
effect until the beginning of the next
Lusternian month.
BRAND <person> ALLY <reason> : Remove someone's enemy status. Works same as
enemy in terms of not taking effect until
the next month.
SUPPORT <person> : Throw your support behind a city's
leader choice of a change in political
structure. (Cities Only)
CONFIRM <ministry> : Confirm a minister that the leader has
selected. (Can't confirm self).

ministry. Must be in the Council Room
for this. Will not work on the
Stewardship.
