@Tamijo : thank you for that detailed explanation! Now I understand everything so much better!
Although I know that the settlement is small and it is much wiser to handle it like you want to, my inner democratic soul suffers! :D
I don´t like people to have such an autocratic leading circle to have all the power. even when the people in it are good people, there must be one bad apple among them and they could begin to make false or bad decisions...
I´m too mistrusting, I know! :D
You are right that it makes no sense for the village to have a 1000 pages long law text for every eventually crime, but even here I just curl myself up, because who will decide about bad behavior? Can the deliquents get an objective trial? Can the council decide fully objective?
So many questions about democratic rights! It is so good that I live in a country which is developed a bit further than your village! ;) >:)
Thanks for giving me the lightning mod, it looks stunning in your pictures! (I just can´t try it out in Moonlight Falls, there must stay the foggy misty weather for the story)
Gosh, I´ve confused Elea with Myra! I am sorry, there are so few people in your settlement and I can´t divide them! But to my excuse, both of the girls have brownish-red hair, right?
But I have to say that Elea is a beautiful woman!
Oh no! Simon and Magdalena didn´t see each other often? That is no good news! It´s Simon again, right? He just closed himself up in his house and waited for her to come to him! So sad!
Maybe one day the settlement is so big that the farmers out in the wild will become the new neighbours? It is so exciting to watch!
Oh, I thought the second oil was already in production, that´s too bad, it would be nice to not fully rely on one plant, just think of a tomato disease where all tomatoes will rot on the plant.... (oh my dear, I have negative thoughts today, sorry for that! :D )
I think your pictures of the village or the landscape are very beautiful, my towns are so overcrowded sometimes that such pictures are impossible to shoot for me...
