Starting the Festivities
With great communities based on semi-democratic decision making comes great responsibility and with great responsibility comes much paperwork describing every single way you take advantage of your position of power up to and including the number of sheets of paper you crumple in frustration while trying to compose a decent set of laws, arguments, or even simply empty statements.
I, President Fea, have crumpled two sheets thus far, and emptied two quills of ink.
You, the village, are angry. I understand this.
I do not write this to anger you more. I write this in order to withhold a transparent honest government.
My people, we as a village have a problem. Well, several, in fact.
One is that I’ve secretly been practicing a bit of insider trading with the likes of Mithalwen and Rikae which is why they are rather more well off than you filthy lot-
-But more importantly! We have wolves in our midst!
Wolves? Yes, wolves. Werewolves, and they mean us great harm.
What do I mean insider trading?
Trade of information, nothing more, I assure you it has nothing to do with you, really, nothing at all.
No, it did not relate to the taxes I’ve recently imposed upon you even though-
Dear heavens above, what honest village reporter discovered these facts?
Well, I suppose it is indeed best to be clear about-
PUT DOWN THAT PITCHFORK!
No, the werewolf situation and the corrupt government have nothing at all in common I assure you!
Rikae, look out behind you, it’s a villager. I know you can’t hear him, he speaks softly, but he carries a big stick and-
YOU UNEDUCATED RABBLE KILLED MY BUSINESS ASSOCIATE (and by ‘business associate’ of course I mean ‘fellow politician whose relationship with me and the village treasury is completely above board’)—
Mith, darling, careful, that’s a noose-
What ever happened to a fair trial by a jury of my peers?
What exactly, might I ask do you intend to do with your elected Representatives assassinated by the likes of yourselves, hm?
YOU NEED ME!
Do not step any closer or you will regret it, young man!
You intend to elect new Representatives every day as a means to avoid the stagnation of society as it occurs when one has been in power for far too long? Outlandish!
Step away from me and put down that knife!
I said back, rabble!
No!
Why you ungrateful little b—

Hello Mith. How are you, Rikae? I’d have sworn I just saw you die at the hands of the angry people—
Oh.
