Events
Second Event: Civball! Zoning debates over zoning slow to a crawl so city hall breaks for a ‘friendly’ game of civball, as is traditional in Halcyon City since the Silver Age.
- Consequence: Malcontent does well and garners support.
- Consequence: It's a fun game, but City Hall catches on fire a little bit.
- Opinion: It's time for us t o put Civball away, it's getting too rowdy.
- Opinion: If we put Civball away, any goodwill left in city hall will die.
- 2nd Perspective: Malcontent shrewdly used civball to draw public attention to the affordable housing debates in city hall.
